Q. If a husband gives his wife Mahr at the time of the Nikah, what authority does the wife have over it? If she remarries, does she have to return the Mahr to the previous husband?

A. If a husband gives his wife Mahr, she is the sole owner of it.

If she remarries, she does not have to return the Mahr to her previous husband.
