He (the Imam) said, ‘Abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, had faced such a condition and his father, Ali ibn al-Husayn, ‘Alayhi al- Salam, said, ‘When doors are closed and curtains are pulled down mahr (dower) and waiting period become necessary.’” Ibn abu ‘Umayr has said that Ahadith are not the same about this issue if mahr (dower) is complete or not. Certain ones have said that it is one-half of mahr (dower) and it means that a judge rules according to apparent condition of a case. When the doors are closed and curtains are pulled down mahr (dower) becomes obligatory. It is up to her when she knows before Allah that he has not touched then she deserves only half of mahr (dower).’”
