Marrying off a daughter for one riyal and the husband’s contempt for his wife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Some people are lenient in marrying off their daughter for one riyal, which causes the husband to look down on his wife.
Answer:
In this, the equivalent is considered; the equivalent is considered for her, the equivalent of the mahr of her close female relatives, so that he does not wrong her. He says: “No *waqs* and no *shatṭ*.” *Waqs* is the reduction of the wife’s right, and *shatṭ* is the excess imposed on the husband. In this, moderation is considered: she has the mahr of her equivalent. It is not befitting for him to marry off his daughter for one riyal while people are marrying off their daughters for fifty thousand, but it is considered, and it is considered.
