Is it time we leave behind the idea of a meher

Speaking of a bite. I know y'all are priceless and shit but how about an apple for meher as a form of a ceremonial gesture to honor the love and the facts that two hearts are being united as one in a hopefully ever after lasting marriage.

In Somali dhaqan, you only pay mehr after divorcing. What you get before the marriage is called Sayuuto if im not wrong which is abit of gold.

Also if you married with family approval, you will receive help even after you divorced, like who the hell thinks about divorce before even getting married :drakewtf:

Expensive mehr causes corruption in society and makes zina easy. The Prophet's daughters mehr wasn't even $500 and the mehr is a gift, not insurance money:francis:

I disagree mehr should be paid before divorce, of course you can have arrangements with your partner to pay them throughout the years it’s not something you get after the divorce just because Somalis do it doesn’t mean it’s the right way, that’s why you see dudes promising 50k because they are not taking it serious, you should never promise something you can’t pay at that moment.

500$ at the time of our prophet SWS was a huge amount of money. Has nothing to do with 500$ in this day and age.

Well the issue with those men isn’t the mehr they are sexist ass holes to begin with, mehr or not they are the type to abuse and use women. Anyone who thinks you can buy a human being with 5k is not someone you should be marrying.

Misogyny is heavily embedded in our culture.

Mix that with the mehr and you get a husband who thinks he owns you.

Knowles is right, best solution is to marry out or find a level headed farax (a unicorn)

Your content has an extremist agenda and you frequently support marital rape.

What? Your post is baseless. I almost never discuss whether "marital rape" exists. I discussed it in one thread about the topic. And simply being a religious and conservative person is not "extremist," although I know that's how liberal UKers would like to portray it.

Last time I checked advocating for marital rape and arguing that women consent to sex when they get married is not a conservative point of view but an extremis or a rapist point of view.
