The ruling on a guardian taking a portion of his daughter's mahr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says, Shaykh, that her father married her to a man, and he took twenty thousand from her mahr, and the mahr was fifty thousand. Is he entitled to do that, Shaykh?

Answer:
If he is her father, he is entitled to do that. If he is not her father, such as her brother or her son, he must have her permission and consent to it. Yes.
