The answer

If you divorce your wife after the legal marriage contract but before consummation, she is entitled to half of the agreed-upon dowry, whether it was paid in advance or deferred, and whether it was stipulated in the contract or not. This includes gold and other items. However, gifts and wedding expenses that are not customarily or legally part of the dowry are not reclaimable.
