Or is it not to be used and only kept in case of a divorce or other circumstances?","answer":"The entire mahr amount belongs to the bride and the bride alone. No part of the mahr can be touched by anyone else without her permission. The practice of paying half the mahr up-front and the rest is only paid if the wife is divorced is unjust, harmful, and has no basis in Islam.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327c8","tag":"Women: Other","count":52},{"_id":"668d9ff40b76658b4c232a2f","tag":"Marriage: Mahr","count":18}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:40:11.275Z"}
