What the man did by divorcing his wife is permissible as long as he does not love her and dislikes cohabiting with her. Divorce has different rulings: it can be permissible, disliked, or forbidden. She is entitled to half of the mahr (dowry) agreed upon in the marriage contract, since the divorce occurred before consummation.
