Mahr is the term used for the obligatory payment made by a Muslim husband to his wife at the time of marriage.

The two main types of dower in Muslim law are prompt dower, which is payable immediately upon marriage, and deferred dower, which is payable at a later date, such as upon the death of the husband or the dissolution of the marriage.

There is no minimum amount of dower that must be paid by a Muslim husband. The amount of dower is determined by agreement between the husband and wife, or by the court if there is a dispute.

If a husband fails to pay dower, the wife can sue him in court, refuse to consummate the marriage, and/or divorce him.

Prompt dower is payable immediately upon marriage, while deferred dower is payable at a later date, such as upon the death of the husband or the dissolution of the marriage.

Dower serves multiple purposes, including providing financial security for the wife, encouraging marriage, and promoting equality between men and women.

A wife can waive her right to dower, but only with the consent of her husband.

If a wife dies before receiving her dower, her right to dower passes to her heirs.

If a husband dies before paying his wife's dower, his obligation to pay dower passes to his heirs.

Dower is a one-time payment made by the husband to the wife at the time of marriage or upon the dissolution of the marriage, while maintenance is a periodic payment made by the husband to the wife during the marriage.

A wife can claim dower even if the marriage is void, provided that the marriage was consummated.
