Mysore Muslim weddings uphold the Islamic culture in marriage. Mysore Muslim matrimony endorses Islamic principles and laws in marriage. The concept of mahr is inevitable in a Muslim wedding. Mahr is the obligation, money or possessions paid by the groom to the bride at the time of Islamic marriage. Mahr is sometimes given as money, where as in certain cases it may be property, ornaments, and furniture or home goods. Mahr is specifically mentioned in the marriage contract and any Muslim marriage to be legal mahr is obligatory. Some people may often confuse mahr with dower. Dower is the payment from the husband or his family to the wife at the time of his death. However, mahr is legally required in all Muslim marriages and dower is optional. Mahr is mentioned in the marriage contract made at the time of marriage where a dower is paid only after the death of the husband. Mahr is given to the bride and not the bride’s family and even the husband has no legal claims over his wife’s mahr.
Some people may misuse mahr with dowry that is prevalent in certain culture. Dowry is money or property a bride brings in from her family and it is provided to her by her parents. The mahr in any Islamic marriage contract is a fundamental religious right of the wife, and the husband cannot reduce it. Even upon the husband’s death, the deferred mahr is paid from his estate before all other debts, because it is a religious requirement. Mahr amount is often negotiated between the parents or guardians of the bride and groom and the mahr agreement is then drafted. The typical mahr containing marriage contract consists of the names of the parties, the amount of the mahr, a cleric’s signature, the signature of two male witnesses and a disclaimer that Islamic law will govern the marriage contract.
