Legal diary glossary

What does Haq mehr mean? حق مہر

Haq mehr is the dower — money or property the husband pays or promises to the wife as part of the Muslim marriage contract.

Recovery of unpaid dower is a common Family Court claim, frequently filed together with maintenance or dissolution of marriage.

The nikahnama records whether the dower is prompt (mu’ajjal) or deferred (ghair mu’ajjal), which affects when it is payable.

In Munshi

When you say “haq mehr” in a voice note, Munshi stores it as dower so search and printed cause lists stay consistent.
