What are the limits of intercourse that necessitate the dowry (mahr) and deferred dowry (mu'akhkhar al-sadaq)? Is it the full insertion of the glans into the vagina, or is the insertion of part of it with ejaculation inside the vaginal canal sufficient to determine the wife's rights, given that the virginity has been medically removed and both the husband and the female doctor are able to fully insert their fingers into the vagina?

The full mahr is established upon the complete insertion of the glans into the woman's vagina, and ejaculation is not a prerequisite. The rulings concerning sexual intercourse are not triggered by the partial insertion of the glans. Moreover, what is considered authoritative among us is that the full mahr is established by a valid seclusion ( sahihah), even if intercourse did not occur.
