@devilish_angel

this is the wrong thing circulating in our society k haq mehr should be paid at time of divorce infact islam says best is to paya as earlier as possible like most probably at the time of nikah. wht I heard after divorce in idat duration x huby pays for the wife expenditures, I might be wrong but I heard this

You are right. Their are two parts of Mehr; Mu’ajjal and Mu’wajjal.

‘Ajjal’ ones need to be paid in haste (came from the word Ujlat). ‘Wajjal’ one can be delayed (came from ‘Ajal’ with ‘ain’, like woh luqma-e-ajal kaa shikar ho gaye, means end or death)’ but cannot be delayed further than divorce. This condition (but cannot be delayed further than divorce) created that misconception that its due at divorce time, which is, as you said, is wrong.

also Mu’ajjal can be forgiven by wife, but Muwajjal cannot. Its her right that even she cannot forfeit.
