Ruling on paying an additional amount for the mahr after marriage
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man relates a story about himself, saying: I contracted the marriage of a woman, and after paying the mahr to the woman's guardian, I paid him fifty thousand. When I went about arranging the wedding and the furniture, and distributed the invitations, and this man has ten daughters, he said: You still owe me ten thousand; pay it. If you bring it, fine; otherwise, you have no wife with me. So I was left in a difficult situation. The people had already gathered, and I had lost sums of money. Then he said to me: Write me a note for ten thousand in your debt, or else there is no marriage. So in that situation, I was forced to write him this note. The question is: Am I allowed to pay this amount after the marriage, knowing that I wrote the note in my wife's name, not his?
Answer:
If you wish, pay her the ten thousand to prevent dispute and discord. If she refuses and he demands it from you, then the court is necessary. This is a case involving litigation; you go to the court. But if she agrees and you pay it, that is better and cuts off the dispute.
