Abstract :
In the article 1092 of Civil Rights, it is mentioned that: “ If the husband divorces his wife before having intercourse, she is entitled to the half of dowry of bride and if the husband had given more than half of dowry of bride before the intercourse, he would have entitled to the residue of the half of itself or its price.”, in this case; the question is that if the wife forgives release all or more than half of(dowry of bride, which is exactly the husband’s total duty ) after marriage contract and the husband divorces her before having intercourse with her, since release is a kind of possessing and domination of the debt or is similar to the loyalty to a pledge, and considering the command in the article above; does the wife owes the residue of the half of dowry of bride The popular response to this question by the Faghihs of Imamia is positive whereas other Faghihs and lawyers disagree with their view. While studying this subject; in this essay, we will try to understand the evidences of those in favor and opponents of this and will observe some aspects of the topic that have been less taken into consideration.
