Hazrat Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: If a man marries a woman, does not give her the dower (mahr), and does not consummate the marriage with her, what is the ruling? He replied: The woman will receive the full dower, she will inherit, and the full waiting period (‘iddah) will be obligatory upon her. Hazrat Ma’qil bin Sinan (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I was present in the service of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) when he gave the same verdict regarding Barwa’ bint Washiq.
