    Reasonable and Practical Mahr? (OP)




    So married people, can you tell us what you think reasonable and practical mahr is? Sisters? Brothers?

    In general, because I'm sure it's not right to ask for specifics..

    And non married sisters, what would you ask for?

    Brothers, what are you planning on giving?

    Yeah if she's buying a dress then 10K isn't enough, a girl needs matching handbags, shoes and jewellery with that, and if you want her to look extra cute, you'll need to include hair accessories =D

    ...And maybe a cute lil puppy to carry around (but since that not allowed a siK car will do)

    ..We shall still..never be happy,

    Mahr....extra mahr...no mahr...makes no difference, we be's grumpy ppls...PREPARE YOURSELVES..



    Dun wana scare you akhi. So I'll stop here..

    and what if I told u that there are girls ask for more than 50,000$...would u believe it? this is including the wedding party costs and everything else

    well, I am not scaring anyone here, but unfortunately there are some extreme materialistic people in this world. and sometimes its not the girl who specified the money, but her family....and some families asked for a lot
    Subhan allah as if this life is lasting forever


    May allah grant everyone here with good wife/husband

    Brothers, what are you planning on giving?
    To be honest, i dont want my mahr to be money or jewellery - never been interested in either of them. Inshallah if my future husband agrees I want him and I to go to umrah right after we get married so no fancy wedding just the nikkah. Inshallah that way our marriage will be blessed even more and who knows it might be the only time we can go pilgrimage as a couple.
    So instead of paying the mahr, wedding and honeymoon we could use that money for umrah

    It's sad I've seen people spending almost 100k on a wedding night and the next day they can't even afford to pay their bills. What's the point? I really don't understand.

    lol it is?

    how so

    realistically a mahr should be as much as you can afford.

    it would be sad if in say, america or london a brother cant scrounge up at least 3-5 thousand pounds for his wifes protection and benefit.
