The Rights of a Divorced Woman of mahr (dower) with Whom He has not Gone to Bed

مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ الْمَرْأَةَ الرَّتْقَاءَ أَوِ الْجَارِيَةَ الْبِكْرَ فَيُطَلِّقُهَا سَاعَةً تُدْخَلُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَاتَانِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمَا مَنْ يُوثَقُ بِهِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنْ كُنَّ عَلَى حَالِهِنَّ كَمَا أُدْخِلْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ لَهُنَّ نِصْفَ الصَّدَاقِ الَّذِي فَرَضَ لَهَا وَ لَا عِدَّةَ عَلَيْهَا مِنْهُ .
5. Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad from ibn Mahbub, from ibn Bukayr from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has said the following: “About the case of a man who marries a non-virgin woman or a virgin one and divorces her in the hour that she enters his house, abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has stated this Hadith. ‘Trustworthy women must examine them and if they find such woman with the condition before she came to him then she deserves one-half of the mahr (dower) which is set for her and she does not need to count any waiting period.’”
