As per Muslim personal law, which one of the following is not the right of a wife on non-payment of Dower?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
On non-payment of prompt dower, a Muslim wife may refuse to cohabit with her husband, may sue for the dower as a debt, and as a widow lawfully in possession of her husband's property may retain it until the dower is paid. She has no "Right to increase or decrease dower": the amount can be increased by the husband or remitted voluntarily by the wife, and non-payment gives her no such right.
