Re: Nikkah Nama of a bride !
Like many of the posters have mentioned that if you are able to take care of your financial needs then you don't have the need to demand a big amount of haq mehar. It's true that Haq mehar cannot save a marraige and cannot buy you happiness. I was of same opinion and me and my parents agreed on the minimum amount of haq mehar but looking at someone in my inlaws I feel and realise the importance of haq mehar. she is no longer married to that man and is NOT WORKING also.... her parents are not very supportive so are her siblings (I and my husband give her money occassionaly so that she can meet atleast her medical expenses ) and if a girl is sooo dependent upon others than haq mehar agreed shd be adequate enuf to support her .
It's a girls right and the money shd be paid on wedding night by the groom but many grooms also make the girls forgoe the right and say haq mehar maaf karwa liya. Like my husband always called it a sinful act as he says that the wife is not halal for her husband till he gives her haq mehar.
And there is nothing in nothing that u can include in nikkah contract to secure your future esp if u r in Pakistan. Just pary to Allah for a happy marriage!
