Prinadora

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Prinadora was a Ferengi female, former wife of Rom and mother of Nog.

Originally Rom entered a standard five-year contract with Prinadora's father to produce a child, but then he made the mistake of falling in love with her. As a result, he signed an extension to the contract without reading the fine print, allowing Prinadora's father to cheat him of all his money. Prinadora eventually left him for a richer man. (DS9: "Doctor Bashir, I Presume")

Several months later, Rom expressed concern that Leeta could be like Prinadora when they got married. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

[edit] Background information

It was planned for Prinadora to appear in the sixth season episode "Change of Heart". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)

Prinadora appears in the third novel (Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed") of Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, where Nog visits her after accusations that Rom broke the marriage contract threatens his position as Grand Nagus. Nog leaves when she fails to even recognize her son, commenting later on to Ro Laren that Leeta has been more of a moogie to him than Prinadora. The accusations that Rom broke the contract are later at least partially resolved when Ro points out that, under the Rules of Acquisition, "A contract is a contract is a contract, but only between Ferengi", reasoning that Rom's second marriage was a Bajoran ceremony and so does not 'count' under Ferengi law.
