The answer

A woman is not permitted to seek a divorce without a legitimate reason, nor are her family members allowed to incite her to do so. If the wife requests a divorce without cause, the husband may refuse to divorce her until she waives her right to the Mahr (dowry), or he may divorce her without compensation. If he divorces her without stipulating the waiver of the Mahr, then she is entitled to half of the agreed-upon Mahr.
