Re: haq meher
^I noticed that on the other nikahnama you posted as well. Now both R and I are confused. He's saying you'll get half of whatever I have by default anyway if we are seperated. Do you think we need to make changes to the nikahnama? It seems like the Imam left the second part blank.
Half of what he has by default is the American Law, not Islamic law. And you will get half of what he will have at the time if god forbid, separation happens. That means that if he would have nothing, you will get nothing. Meher-e-Mu'wajjal is a set amount that he is obligated to pay, no matter what his financial situation might be. Its a safe and secure net for the girl. You guys should add it in
both types are there but my understanding is that it can be all prompt, all deferred, or a combination of both.
so for mine, i had Mu'ajjal- none, (none was prompt) Mu'wajjal - all (and then the amount given in the previous question)
That makes sense then, Stopit. You have forgiven the prompt amount so only Mu'wajjal is due if god forbis any thing happens.
