Section: If he is in seclusion with her, but she is a minor who cannot be engaged in intercourse, or she is an adult but prevented him from herself, or he was blind and did not know of her entry upon him (7), her dower is not completed. Ahmad stated this explicitly regarding a blind man who marries a woman and she is brought to him, and the curtain is drawn and the door locked; if he does not know of her entry (8) upon him, she is entitled to half the dower (9). He gestured that if she is recalcitrant towards him or withholds herself from him, her dower is not completed. Ibn Hamid mentioned this. This is because enabling has not been realized from her side, so it is similar to the case where he is not in seclusion with her. Likewise, if he is in seclusion with her, but he is a child who is unable to engage in intercourse, the dower is not completed because he is in the same position as the minor regarding the lack of ability (10) for intercourse.

For this reason, it is not halved by divorce before the consummation of the marriage; thus, this is similar to seclusion with a stranger (ajnabiyya). It has been narrated from Ahmad that which indicates that seclusion in it (a corrupt marriage) is like seclusion in a valid one, because the intimacy (ibtidhal) (11) through seclusion in it is like the intimacy (12) by that in a valid marriage. Therefore, the dower is established through it just as in a valid one, and the former (13) is more appropriate.

Section: If he enjoys his wife through direct contact other than the private parts, without seclusion, such as kissing or the like, then the explicit text from Ahmad is that the dower is completed by it. He said: If he takes her, touches her, and grabs her, without being in seclusion with her, she receives the full dower if he attains from her something that is not permissible for anyone else. In a narration by Muhanna, he said: If he marries a woman and looks at her while she is naked bathing, I make the dower obligatory upon him. He also narrated from Ibrahim: If he perceives from her that which is forbidden to others, the dower is upon him; for this is a type of
