Maybe.
Apparently, he can't even afford a 10K mahr.

What is alimony then, Islamically?
There are differing answers even amongst the few posts in this thread so far, so I'm kind of confused.
Songbird: Okay, thanks for telling us that. It's not usually done though. Is that 'Islamic'? I mean, both spouses may be okay with it and it might make sense in their situation, but Islamically, the man is supposed to provide, no?
