The question

What must I do to please Allah (SWT) and rid myself of any sin or obligation to others before meeting Him, knowing that I contracted my marriage to a girl without specifying a mahr or deferred mahr, and I paid part of the cost of the jewelry set (500 pounds), and the wedding ring and engagement ring (1500 pounds), and I covered all marriage expenses and costs, including electrical appliances in installments (30,0 pounds), and I did not consummate the marriage despite all types of physical contact occurring, and the separation occurred due to her lying, and what is incumbent upon me regarding their demand for 62,0 pounds despite my ability to pay only 5,0 pounds?

The answer

A man should choose a religious wife, document financial matters, and avoid extravagance and religiously forbidden acts during the wedding. As for the rights of a divorced wife with whom her husband had consummated the marriage or had a valid private seclusion, she is entitled to the full stipulated dowry and maintenance comparable to her status from the time she made herself available until an irrevocable divorce or the end of the revocable waiting period. If no dowry was stipulated, she is entitled to the dowry of her peers. As for the engagement ring (shabka) and wedding band (dubla), their ruling varies according to intention. In case of dispute, the reference is the Sharia court.
