Will the family court enforce a mahr?

October 3, 2017

Mahr (also spelled maher, mohr and mehr) is a form of marriage agreement in which the husband promises to pay his wife (in cash or other forms of property) if the marriage ends or if he dies. Muslim marriage contracts always include a mahr, whether the marriage takes place in Canada or elsewhere.
