I have made a video on "Nature and rights of divorced wife in case of unpaid dower in a short and simple with example." which is for LLB 2nd semester. The subject name is FAMILY LAW-II (MUSLIM LAW)

The Video is based on below content:

In cases of divorce where dower (Mahr) remains unpaid, a divorced Muslim wife retains certain rights. She can demand the prompt dower (due immediately) and can refuse cohabitation until it's paid if the marriage hasn't been consummated. She can also sue her husband or his heirs for the unpaid dower. If the husband dies, she can retain possession of his property until the dower is paid, but this right is limited to recovering the debt, not ownership. For instance, if a wife is divorced and her husband has not paid the dower, she can sue him or his heirs in court to recover the amount owed.

Key Rights of a Divorced Wife with Unpaid Dower:
Right to Refuse Cohabitation:
If the prompt dower is unpaid, a wife can refuse to live with her husband if the marriage hasn't been consummated.

Right to Sue for Dower:
The wife can file a lawsuit against her husband or his heirs to recover the unpaid dower.

Right to Retain Possession of Property:
If the husband's property is in her possession, she can retain it until the dower debt is settled, but she doesn't become the owner and cannot sell it.

Right to Demand Prompt Dower:
She can demand the prompt dower, which must be paid immediately upon marriage or when demanded.
