What is Mahr?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The concept of mahr is purely Islamic. and mahr is a marriage gift which is utterly a divine injection from bride to groom. It is obligatory for a husband to give mahr to his wife. It is an essential part of the marriage ceremony<\/a><\/strong> and the husband takes responsibility for his wife. In the Quran, Allah says about Mahr.<\/p>\n

“And give the women (on marriage) their mahr as a (nikah) free gift.”<\/strong> (Quran 4:4)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When to be paid?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Mehr is paid to the wife from her husband<\/a> <\/strong>in the form of cash, property, or any other thing. In Islam, it is an amount or a gift. because its criteria are not as a law in Islam but according to norms and values of society people decide worth. Mahr date is also not fixed it may be paid immediately after nikah<\/a><\/strong> or it is deferred to any other date. Paying mahr in Islam is compulsory for a husband to his wife. and if it is not paid then in case of death or divorce<\/a><\/strong> it\u2019s due to the husband. The wife can claim it because it\u2019s her Islamic right. In another verse Allah says:<\/p>\n

“So for that pleasure which you have enjoyed from them, give them their prescribed compensation.\u201d<\/strong> [Noble Quran 4:24]<\/p>\n

“…All others have been made lawful for you provided you seek (them in marriage)<\/a> with your property.”<\/strong> [Noble Quran 4:24]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Maximum and minimum limit of mahr:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mahr in Islam is compulsory but for those who are poor and they want to fulfill their wish of marriage than about mahr for poor Our Holy Prophet \ufdfa said:<\/p>\n

“Search for something, even if it is just a ring made from iron.”<\/strong> [Bukhari & Muslim]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mahr has no maximum limit and no minimum requirement in Holy Quran Allah says about mahr.<\/p>\n

“And if you wish to replace a wife<\/a> with another and you have given one of them a heap of gold.do not take anything from it. Would you take it as a fraud and a clear sin?”<\/strong> [Noble Quran 4:20]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mahr should be a gift, not a burden:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Mahr should be reasonable which is bearable for men and benefit women<\/a> <\/strong>in the future. and mahr should be a gift, not a burden which will create harmony and love between newly wedded couple<\/a><\/strong>. In a Hadith Hazrat Muhammad \ufdfa<\/a> <\/strong>said:<\/p>\n

‘the best woman<\/a> is the one whose mahr is the easiest to pay.’<\/strong> (al-Haythami, Kitab an-Nikah 4:281).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mahr (dowry) is necessary to create love and trust<\/a><\/strong> in the new relationship between husband and wife.<\/a><\/strong> if you are getting married sooner then you must decide on a beautiful gift (mahr) for your wife with mutual consent of you both. Follow the path of Allah it will surely lead you towards Jannah.<\/p>\n
