Mahr Forgiven By Wife |
Darulifta Ahlesunnat |

Question |
What do respected scholars say about the
following issue, if the wife willingly forgives the amount of Mahr fixed at
the time of Nikah, is it forgiven in this way? Can she demand it after she
has been divorced? |
بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ |
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ
الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ |
If the wife happily forgives the amount
of Mahr without being pressurized and the husband does not reject the
forgiving of the Mahr but rather he accepts it or remains silent, so Mahr is
forgiven. The wife can no longer demand it; neither before nor after the
divorce. |
