The answer

If the marriage fulfills all its conditions, the woman becomes the man's wife immediately upon the contract, and this does not depend on the announcement of the marriage. All rights between the spouses, such as inheritance and intimacy, are then established. The woman has the right to refuse cohabitation until her dower is paid to her, and she is entitled to maintenance until the dower is paid.
