Re: current islamic value of haq meher
The religious ruling is that it is your right. Why would you dismiss a God given right? Moreover, if you were living abroad while divorcing, alimony and child support would both be things you would likely go to the courts over, so why those and not claiming your Haq Meher? Saimab33 has said it the best. Set a reasonable amount based on your husband’s income and perhaps on your cost of living for three months. You can choose to defer it but don’t waive your right entirely.
