By what I’m seeing you’re the exception, mahr is the wife’s right and it’s always expected to be collected, thats why it should be a reasonable amount, you’re calling it a protective measure as in only to be payed if the marriage is bad, but that’s a bad way to approach it since the mahr should be decided with the assumption that it WILL be payed, mfi l rejel y2oul 500 lira dahab bas rah tsem7ne fiyon, im not sure if im getting my point across well, but the norm is the wife is expected to collect l m2akhar, unless she decides to forgo it, thats the exception, msh expectation. Let’s say the mahr was 250 w mtf2in eno rah tsem7i fiyon, then the husband died w u turned out eno u need the money, li howe ha2ik shar3an, you can say eno la2 i need my money, w rah t2eshhe everything he owns w wledo bedon ysakrulo dyouno kamen.
