In Which Situations A Woman Cannot Get Mahr?

In which situations a woman cannot get mahr?

After conclusion of nikah contract, if spouses have sexual intercourse or have the chance of valid seclusion (being alone together in an environment with no impediment to have sexual intercourse), the man has to give the entire amount of mahr to the woman (Ibn al-Humam, Fath, III, 311).

If nikah contract is authentic but they break up because of woman before sexual intercourse or authentic seclusion or the woman wants to break up with the man in exchange for her mahr (muhala’a), she loses her right to recieve her mahr (Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni, X, 62-63;Shirbini, Mughni al-Muhtaj, III, 309; al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya, I, 334).
