The issue of the dower (Mahr) and its timing is subject to the mutual consent of the two parties, and there is no difference in this regard between a virgin and a non-virgin. The divorced woman has all the rights of a wife, including maintenance, housing, and fair division. For the validity of the marriage contract, the offer of the guardian or his representative, the acceptance of the husband or his representative, and the presence of two just witnesses are required.
