Mahr

Q: I divorced my wife two years a go. I still have not paid her dowry. I can not afford it. Is it possible if I pay her whatever I can?

Q: If the dowry was £100 cash but you gave a gift worth £500. Does that cover the dowry, or is that separate?

Q: Is it necessary to give mahar before cohabitation or can you delay it?

Q: What is Mehr-Fatimi and how is it calculated?

Q: My question is about Mahar. Please tell me about the forced Mahar. I heard in an Islamic channel about forced mahar a caller call mufti and he said that he did a nikah but in nikah his in-laws and girl's uncle forced him and his family to write 200,000 Pakistan Rupees in Mahar but the boy did not agree to accept that huge mahar amount from his heart. Due to some family reason's he accepted. So he Asked Mufti that now who will pay the Mahar since I am not able to pay it. The mufti replied in this scenario you were willing to marry that girl but you don't agree with Mahar from your heart and the In-law's or any person forced you to accept it and due to family reason's you accepted that Mahar, so now you are not responsible to pay the Mahar nor your family. Now the person or person's who forced you to accept that mahar will pay your Mahar to your wife. Please tell me, is that Mufti's opinion right or wrong and please also provide me a hadith as a reference with Translation in Urdu or English. 

Q: When the grooms party gives gold earring, neckless etc to the bride at the time of marriage, suppose the mahr is 120000 rupees and groom party gave a gold neckless of 50000 rupees. Then does it count as part of the mahr or the groom has to give full mahr?

Q: Is it necessary to give the mahr before cohabiting?

Q: Can one request as mahr that the husband will never marry another wife while he is married to her?

Q: Say if a mahr was stipulated that the man must teach his wife quraan during the marriage and before he taught her quraan he wants to marry another woman. Must he first finish teaching his first wife because that was her mahr before he marries another or can he marry already?

Q: Is it permissible to me to ask for 1 date for my mahr? I would like to ask my fiancee to go to the poorest date seller, ask him how
much 1 kg of dates cost (f.e. 10 Dinar) and ask him how many family member he has (f.e. with him included there are 6 people living with him) so my fiancee should multiply the cost of 1kg of dates with the family members (inc. the date seller). f.e. 60 Dinars. So I want my fiancee to pay the date seller 60 Dinars, but take only 1 Date as my mahr and leave the others to the date seller as a sadaqa. I would like to eat the date with my fiancee's mother and my mother, and plant it to a tree (in shaa allah). I also would ask (as part of my mahr) for the surah mulk to get recited by him from his heart.

Is this permissible that he give me this 1 date + reciting one surah under such extraordinary circumstances? Or is the mahr void if I just ask for that?
