Re: Money Problem!
tashfeen, what was the understanding between the families? In some cases where the nikah is used as a better alternative to engagement the understanding is that the girl is not financially dependant on the husband until the ruqsatti.
To me that is an issue with such things, it should be less ambiguous..after Nikah a girl should go live with her husband, and ifthey are not ready for whatever reason then the nikah should not take place and they should wait.
anyways, you guys should go over finances together, income, regular expenditures, saving plan, play money, etc. That is a sensible way of laying things out and both people being on the same page.
