Re: Mahr Issue in Western Countries
sorry sorry about my above post - that was said considering all is well! and girl still asking for mehr.
I just read another post about mehr - and it totally depends on situation to situation
I am soooooooo glad we did NOT have to put up with the mehr issue. I guess because we NEVER gave mehr a thought! We NEVER QUESTIONED MEHR amount because both our families were happy with the new family relationship. There was NO question on WHAT IF there is a DIVORCE. So there was NO question on MEHR either.
However, I remember the mehr amount - it was RUPEE 1001!(not dollars).
I had split that amount away to the "housekeepers" when I returned back here! - hehe
-I just don't believe any amount will cover up for the pain caused if the partner is unfaithful, disloyal, not nice - whatever. No amount can fill up the void if there is any. So skip the money and learn on improving your relationship and trust on each other.
^That's how life should be. I am glad I am living it.
Good luck for the rest of you who have to enter into a relationship with NEGOTIATIONS. That's shameful on who ever intitate the "asking"/"giving" question with the intention to cap a large amount in pocket.
