Mehr

Mehr is a cultural and religious concept in Islam referring to the mandatory gift, often money or valuables, that a husband gives to his wife at the time of marriage. It symbolizes respect, commitment, and financial security for the wife. The amount is usually agreed upon by both parties and can vary based on cultural and personal factors. Mehr is considered her right and remains her property, providing her with financial independence and security within the marriage. It is an important aspect of Islamic marriage agreements, emphasizing mutual respect and fairness.
