Salaam Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,
I need your help
What is the appropriate amount for the Mahr and how is it usually given? Is the amount decided on by the Groom and Wali or the Wali and Bride? Is received before the marriage in full or are there like "payment plans"
Can Jewelry or property be given or is money the primary dowry?
And if you can give me any other info on Mahr or the process of engagement and/or contract that would be fantastic
I really need to know and if you could provide examples from the Quran and Hadith that would be cool beans
Jazakum Allahu Khair,
~Nahita~
