The Rights of a Divorced Woman of mahr (dower) with Whom He has not Gone to Bed
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ تَزَوَّجُ عَلَى الْوَصِيفِ فَيَكْبَرُ عِنْدَهَا فَيَزِيدُ أَوْ يَنْقُصُ ثُمَّ يُطَلِّقُهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا قَالَ عَلَيْهَا نِصْفُ قِيمَتِهِ يَوْمَ دُفِعَ إِلَيْهَا لَا يُنْظَرُ فِي زِيَادَةٍ وَ لَا نُقْصَانٍ .
13. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin has said this. ‘If a woman marries for a woman as mahr (dower) who grows with her whereby her price increases or reduces, then he divorces her before going to bed with her. She must give back half of the price of the day it was given to her regardless of any increase or decrease.’”
