The answer

The fifty thousand (liras/units) mentioned in the contract and agreed upon between your father and your husband is the dowry due to you, even if you were not pleased with it. Your father is permitted to stipulate for himself a portion of the dowry, according to some scholars, while others are of the opinion that the entire dowry belongs to the woman. The fifty thousand is your exclusive right, and you are not obliged to pay anything from it. If you waive the ten thousand that your father took, that would be good.
