Re: Haq Mehar
:) - In my husband's family the poor bahus barely had a chance to get through the door before my eldest sister in law was trying to get them to forgive the mahr.
In the weddings I've been to recently in Pakistan they were "displaying" the things that the girl brought at a special dinner at their house. It was disgusting. They showed off the leather sofa, tvs, refrigerator, some pots and pans, and a set of luggage. Supposedly the brides family had also given quite a bit of cash and a set of bedroom furniture. It seemed rather excessive.
