Mahr

Q: A couple got married 3 years ago and the agreement of nahr was on mahr fatimi. On the day of the nikka the groom did not have the full amount so the agreement was that he would pay it off later. The amount of 3000 was given and the remaing amount is 7700. 3 years has past and no payment was made. The husband and wife have an understanding that the husband will give it by the end of the year inshallah. The brides father keeps asking and embarrassing the groom. I just wanted to know if the brides father have a say in this matter?

Q: I am in dire need of advice regarding dowry (mehr) in Islamic marriages. Jewellery of an x amount was given at the time of the nikkah as mehr. I have had doubts about the amount and when I asked my husband he refused to provide a slip, or say where it was purchased from. However upon investigation the findings are that the jewellery is worth 50 to 75% less than the price that was stipulated. Even the selling price would never have matched the price that was stipulated. What is the ruling on this? Is the nikaah still valid?

Q: When my husband married me 25 years ago, he didn't give me any mahr. He always says that his way of giving mehr was by paying for my accounts, which amounted to R4500.00 at that time. Can that be regarded as mahr for me?

Q: It will be 1 year in May since I done my nikah. During this time my husband still has not given me my Mahr. We both live in different city's but he travels every weekend to spend some time with me. During this whole time he has not provided anything for me e.He has never bought me anything since we have been married and I have bought him endless things and also borrowed him money which I have asked back for. He still hasn't given it back. He owns his own business so he is not short of money. It really upsets me that it's going to be almost 1 year and he still hasn't given me my mahr. Please advice me on what I should do?
