Re: Question about Mahr?
Many traditional fiqh scholars would say it should be comparable to what someone else in your situation (class/upbringing wise) has taken in Mahr (such as your sister, or cousin etc).
However, if they are taking an exuberant amount of money, you probably want to rethink that. The mahr should be dependant upon how much the guy can afford to give, as well. Meaning not 10k if he's a millionaire, and not 10k if he's a student.
