or jewelry, a servant, or anything else, all of it is subject to the same ruling as the dower itself: the wife may take possession of it before or after consummation, and if he divorces her prior to consummation he is absolved of half of it. Should the husband, after naming the dower, present her with a gift or perform some kindness that was not mentioned in the marriage contract, and then divorce her after consummation, he has no right to reclaim his gift, for it is separate from what was stipulated. If, once the contract is complete, he increases her dower and later divorces her before consummation, half of the (augmented) dower is waived. If he dies before consummation, Ibn al-Qāsim held that she is entitled to nothing, whereas other Mālikī scholars disagreed, ruling that the entire increase becomes her property provided she has already taken possession of it. A deferred dower does not fall due merely because the marriage ends in separation.
