What are the rights of a wife whose husband divorced her four months after the marriage contract, and before consummating the marriage, and is gold customarily considered part of the dowry?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The ruling on gold given by a husband to his wife at the time of marriage varies according to circumstances and customs. If he gives it to her as a gift and she takes possession of it, it becomes her property. However, if it is part of the Mahr (dowry) or if custom dictates it as such, then its ruling is that of the Mahr.
