Re: Haq Mehar in the US
You are right TLK. Haq mehr is not extrotion of money from dhula walay. It’s just a right give to a girl by Islam. So whey not exercise your right? You obviously don’t have to go overboard and ask for millions of dollars when you know the guy only earns in thousands. On a typical desi weddings we end up spending 3-4000 on a photographer yet when it comes to mehr, everyone has a problem. We made sure my sister has a decent amount of mehr in CAD currency. I think as Khatti mentioned, it is the one where the girl can ask for it later and the groom doesn’t have to give it right away.
