Mahr
is a gift given by the groom to the bride after the
solemnisation ceremony. It symbolises the beginning
of a husband's responsibility towards his wife in
fulfilling her everyday needs.
Mahr can be in cash or benefits, such as gold, silver,
money, land, a car, or an apartment. Mahr is the bride's
right and she owns the Mahr. Thus, she has the will
to dispose of it as she wishes.
The current minimum rate for the Mahr in Singapore
is $100 cash.
