Why are they worried about mahr now?
Did Zara actually deposit the full mahr amount by herself? But initially they had no plans to consummate or anything, so that way, she shouldn't have done that right? BC if they don't consummate, she's only entitled to half of the mahr! 😕
The mahr may be separated into two parts. First, there is the
muqaddam, or the prompt mahr, which the wife must receive at or immediately after the marriage ceremony. The second part of the mahr, called the
mu'akhar, is a deferred and promised amount, payable at any agreed upon date following the consummation of the marriage.
