Al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Amr bin Nafi' divorced his wife. The woman claimed that he had been intimate with her, while the husband denied it. The dispute came before the court of Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him), and Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) took an oath from Amr that he had not been intimate with her, and (ruled) that he pay half the dower (mahr).
(b) Mughirah from al-Sha'bi from Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him): A man married, then closed the door and let down the curtains, then divorced before intercourse, so Judge Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) gave the ruling that half the dower be paid.
