I married a deflowered, divorced woman. Now her parents demanding me to divorce her, will she deserve the whole or half of the dowry? Kindly, explain and detail the issue?
Answer
In the name of Allah, be advised, my son, that divorce is the most disliked permissible act. If you are able to keep your marriage with this woman, as this decision is under your hand, you can keep your wife to have pleasure with her and for her to have pleasure with you. However, if you divorce her, her right shall be half of the dowry before copulation, and the whole dowry after copulation. Allah knows best.
