Marriage with Virginity Stipulation

alkafi-9736Vol. 5, p. 413

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ جَارِيَةً بِكْراً فَوَجَدَهَا ثَيِّباً هَلْ يَجِبُ لَهَا الصَّدَاقُ وَافِياً أَمْ يُنْتَقَصُ قَالَ يُنْتَقَصُ.

“I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and asked about the case of a man who married a virgin girl but found out that she was not virgin if it was obligatory to pay complete mahr (dower) or less. He (the Imam) answered, ‘It is less.’”
