What is a Maskahwin / Mahar?

Updated by OURMARRIAGEJOURNEY
Mahar is a gift given by the groom to the bride after the solemnisation ceremony. It symbolises the beginning of a husband's responsibility towards his wife in fulfilling her everyday needs. Mahar can be in cash or kind (e.g. gold, silver). Mahar is the bride's right and she owns the Mahar and can dispose it as she wishes. The current minimum rate for the Mahar in Singapore is S$100 cash.
