He (the Imam) said, ‘If he does not mention it to her husband and later he (the husband) comes to know it, if he wants to demand her mahr (dower) from her guardian who cheated, he can do so and the mahr (dower) that he had received, he cannot collect it back from her because of marriage and if her husband wants to keep her it is not unlawful.”’ حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (20/156))
