How many of you married women READ your Nikkah Nama before signing it?
Do you know what rights you forfeited when signing? I didn’t know this, but a boy’s family sometimes will make ammendments which will forfeit a pre-ordained Islamic right and girls sign off their nikkah nama without reading what Islamic rights they gave up.
Not sure how true this is. I’ve never actually seen or read a real nikkah document.
And gentlemen, did you take back any rights your wife had by adding ammendments or checking off no to certain rights on the nikkah?
Was the mehr something agreed upon, or some number out there that no one told you about, and maybe you still don’t even know about now? How was the mehr decided upon?
Yes my “wakeel” read out the entire document to me. We didn’t change anything. They also presented the proposed mehr to me…I said it was too much…they said it was for my security…I said OK and ta da.
