Alright, lets say a guy wants to put a condition before signing the dotted line that he will contribute 40% of his salary & wife will contribute 60% of her salary as she earns more than the guy but religiously speaking its guys responsibility to provide for her. Don’t you think its going against the Islamic set up of husband & wife?Then how can you put this condition in nikah & how is this different from prenup? People these days are making nikah difficult too why don’t they just sign a prenup. Lets say wife doesn’t mind contributing financially but again its husband’s duty to provide for her & he has no right on her salary.

Peace emke,

I totally agree with you that it is responsibility of the man to provide basic needs (mandatory) to her woman. Almighty Allah made both gender in equal but men have some superiority over women so this responsibility automatically falls upon the men.

And like I said earlier, the addition of any condition can be added on mutual understanding and Nikkah Nama can be signed without having any conditions. However, if a person persist in adding any condition then it is preferable to add only those conditions which doesn’t goes against the teaching of Prophet Muhammad and against the order of Almighty Allah.

Unfortunately, such demand really caused Nikah difficult.

Almighty Allah knows best.
