| Mahr 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. Mahr can be in cash or benefits, such as gold, silver, money, land, a car, or an apartment. Mahr is the bride's right and she owns the Mahr. Thus, she has the will to dispose of it as she wishes. The current minimum rate for the Mahr in Singapore is $100 cash. |
