Question:
This questioner says: My father proposed to my cousin’s daughter verbally, and then a few days later my uncle proposed my sister to his son. Then we were given possession of each other, knowing that the mahr (bridal gift) was that each of us would bear the cost of the gold and the marriage. Then my sister does not want my cousin, and my cousin says, “I will divorce my sister, and I will divorce your sister.” Is this marriage shighar? And what are the conditions of shighar?
