man pays 100 million dollar mehr for his wife

[Angelina]

Your talking of reer badiyo who don't have basic sensibilities as well as people of older gens.

If you where a multi billionaire and your wife to be requested you give her 100 million do you think for yourself that you would feel that you brought her so you don't have to treat her right?

Plus when did people start abusing expensive things they buy? Wouldn't buying something really expensive make you look after it more in comparison to something cheaper?

(I don't think an expensive mahr means she's going to be treated any better tho like some women try to tell themselves. It's up in the air and it depends on the individual)

Let’s be real, the only women getting that for their Mehr are women who too see 100 million as not a lot. They’re the daughters of billionaires as well and that dynamic the poster you’re replying to is talking about doesn’t apply to women who have millions in savings and fathers and brothers who are just as rich as the husband. People with that type of money that splash on women do so for women who have lived luxury lives their entire lives. I have an inkling that if he married a normal girl he wouldn’t have given her that much Mehr, but this man is out here probably trying to also impress/curry favor with the in laws.

like I’ve always said, rich people marry each other. I highly doubt this is a case of normal/poor girl being splashed on. No, this is the case of the wife probably already having that amount in her savings herself.

For the most part yes but not all the time and other factors in different societies can have a part to play in what is favoured or helpful that can go past class/wealth divides.
Plus I have my own personal experience that contradicts your statement.

One of the gulf state arabs her family is probably just as rich and I don't even think her actual mahr by itself is that much rather all the money to curry favours with her family is probably included.

True, some people do marry outside class and race lines. My point is basically a general one. We see ultra rich men marry average income women but generally the richer they are the more they like to keep the money in their class. It’s about connects, wealth and networking. I’m sure you do have an anecdote, like I said men marrying poorer women isn’t that rare, but I do believe that when they do marry poor they don’t pull out all the stops when it comes to Mehr and stuff like that. What made me realize this:

I was referring to the opposite as in girls from rich/upper class families

That whole, giving mahr to the entire family is wrong and a cultural practice. Not all of them do it but many do. There is also the point of the norm amongst the family. If they all get a certain amount everyone around them is expected to receive near and around those amounts. If the girl is average and not of wealth that's not her norm so she won't get offered those amounts

Most likely a fake story or some billionaire khaleeji

They don’t give it to the whole fam. It’s the expectations the fam have for their daughter as it’s a case of so and so’s daughter and how she needs to be given a certain amount to signify her social position which is a direct reflection of her father ect. Giving her a little might be seen as insulting ect

It depends some familes basically expect money given to them in addition to the mahr they are two separate prices. People have made poems lamenting all this extra charges in addition to the mahr in the arab world.

100 million is still a lot even for a billionaire

Say you have an income of 70,000 dollars and the mehr you gave is 7k. That’s 10%. The groom is probably a multi billionaire. It’s definitely an insane mehr and a lot of money but I doubt it was a lot to them, I’m sure the girl also comes from a billionaire marriage and this was a set up from their parents, a business marriage.
