Is a woman entitled to demand the completion of her dowry (25,000 Riyals) to make it a total of (50,000 Riyals), if her husband divorced her after giving her half of the dowry in the first contract, which did not involve consummation, then he took her back and contracted with her again with a new contract for the same dowry (50,000 Riyals), and it was mentioned in the new contract that half of the dowry had been received based on what was previously paid, and then he divorced her and only gave her 25,000 Riyals?

According to some jurists, a wife is entitled to the full mahr (dowry) upon valid seclusion (al-khalwa (definition) al-sahihah), while others hold she is entitled to half of it. If the wife pardons half of it, there is no issue. If the marriage contract is renewed after a separation (baynunah), and if the mahr was 50,000 and half of it was paid, leaving 25,000 that the wife did not receive in the second contract, then she has the right to demand it. In case of dispute, the matter should be referred to a Sharia (definition) judge.
