An unconsummated Muta marriage would entitle the wife to :

  • A.full dower
  • B.no dower
  • C.half dower
  • D.one-fourth of dower

Answer: C

The wife is entitled to half dower.

Under Shia law, which alone recognises the muta (temporary) marriage, specification of the dower is essential to its validity. If the marriage is not consummated, the wife is entitled to half of the specified dower; if it is consummated, she is entitled to the full dower.

Full dower applies only after consummation, 'no dower' ignores the rule that the dower is an essential term, and one-fourth has no basis in the rules on muta.
