Abstract

Muslim marriages are essentially a contract entered into by two consenting adults. It emphasizes the need to lay down the terms of the contract and also ensures financial safeguards to women getting married. The financial safeguards are provided through provision of Mahr – a payment made or committed by the groom towards the bride at the time of Nikah. This article examines the practice of giving and taking Mahr. The findings of the study suggest a huge difference between the actual prescribed way and the practised way of giving Mahr. Due to lack of awareness among women about their rights and the social and cultural practices dominating the practice, Mahr, instead of being a safeguard, becomes a source of bondage into abusive marriages for women.

穆斯林Mahr的原理与实践

穆斯林的婚姻本质上是两个成年人自愿缔结的契约。它强调了制定合同条款的必要性，也确保了妇女结婚的经济保障。经济保障是通过Mahr的规定提供的，Mahr是新郎在结婚时向新娘支付或承诺的一笔款项。这篇文章探讨了给予和接受Mahr的实践。研究结果表明，实际规定的方式和实践的给予Mahr的方式之间存在巨大差异。由于妇女对自己的权利缺乏认识，以及主导这种做法的社会和文化习俗，Mahr不是一种保障，而是成为束缚妇女进入虐待婚姻的来源。

期刊介绍： This journal is the first of its kind to be published in Britain. While it does not restrict itself to the work of feminist theologians and thinkers in these islands, Feminist Theology aims to give a voice to the women of Britain and Ireland in matters of theology and religion. Feminist Theology, while academic in its orientation, is deliberately designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers, whether theologically trained or not. Its discussion of contemporary issues is not narrowly academic, but sets those issues in a practical perspective.
