Although the determination of dower (marriage portion, marriage settlement) in a permanent marriage contract is not a condition based on verse 24 of Surah An-Nisa (in Arabic text: النساء‎), traditions reported by numerous authorities (successive widely transmitted) and the consensus of jurists and marriage without mentioning the marriage portion is also a completely valid contract, but it is assumed sometimes that not only the dower is not mentioned in the text of the contract, but marriage is conditioned to absence of marriage portion and the lack of marriage portion is conditioned by one of the spouses or both. Now the question is: What is basically, the ruling of the condition of absence of marriage portion in marriage, and consequently, what is its effect on the validity and invalidity of the marriage contract itself? The present article, using descriptive-analytical method, has tried to achieve the conclusion that the condition of absence of marriage portion in marriage is correct or, at least, can be used as a presumption, despite the famous jurisprudential opinion that such a condition is invalid, while criticizing and rejecting the evidence of the ruling, such as verses and ḥadīth (pl. aḥādīth, literally “talk” or “discourse”, narrations), in addition to weakening the famous opinion and this is the main finding of the research.

In the Islamic legal system, the wife is entitled to several rights, including the marriage portion, which becomes her property through a permanent marriage. Today, according to the famous saying of the two main Islamic denominations, despite the fact that couples do not have to mention the marriage portion in the contract due to their lack of dependence of contract on mentioning the marriage portion, sometimes, based on misconceptions, they agree on marriage portions that the husband has no power to pay and the couple do not intend to give or receive the amount, but their intention is another amount of marriage portion that they have agreed out of contract. Since this type of mentioning marriage portion has become frequent in society, it is necessary to re-examine its nature and effects. The research shows that the fake marriage portion is void because of the lack of intention. The amount of marriage portion that the husband owes after the annulment of the mentioned amount, varies in different situations and according to the real intention of the couple. The present research has been conducted through descriptive-analytical method and with reference to library sources.
