Bride's family demanding a huge mahr
Q: I have one question regarding Mahr. The family of the bride wants to put 3 million BDT in the nikah contract which is totally unpractical and unreasonable. They are saying I don't have to pay any penny but they won't allow anything less in the contract. They might be asking this as a security in case a divorce takes place! How funny. Anyway, I would like to know the ruling on this. The bride has agreed to a much lesser amount which I can afford to pay. So if I sign the paper just to satisfy their parents and then I pay to the bride according to her wish will I be debt free? Will my marriage be valid?
