Etymology
The word Mahr is related to the Hebrew word “Mohar” and the Syriac word "Mahrā", meaning “bridal gift”, which originally meant “purchase-money”. The word implies a gift given voluntarily and not as a result of a contract, but in Muslim religious law it was declared a gift which the bridegroom has to give the bride when the contract of marriage is made and which becomes the property of the wife. Among pre-Islamic Arabs, a bride price called Mahr was an essential condition for a legal marriage. The Mahr was given to the guardian ( Wali ) of the bride, such as her father, brother or another relat
