Re: Haq Mehar
As my personal opinion the Haq meher should be a big amount. Around £10,000 or $20,000 or something like that with an option of 10% should be paid immediately & rest in case of divorce. Logically 10% is reasonable enough amount that a girl gets at wedding. Other 90% is her security, how?
1) If he divorces her, he has to pay £9,000. If she takes khula, she doesn't have to worry about paying £10,000 and she will only return £1,000.
2) If the guy dies, she is still protected because 90% should be paid to her, though she has an optionto waive it (means she holds the curtain rope during the show).
Now how should she spend it? Its her money, no one on this earth has any right to tell here what to do with it. She can spend it where she wants. If according to my theory she gets 10% immediate money, she must not put it in house payments or car payments etc etc. (they are shared or considered shared property in case of divorce). She should spend it entirely in something that is not shared. Again she holds the rope, so if she wants to of course she can put it as house/car payment etc.
