OMG, the thread is hillarious. I'm confused, I thought Dowry=Sooryo, no? Sooryo is dhaqan; it is the money you give the family/relatives. The Dowry is normally what the groom can afford. I have seen a couple of grands for the family on many occasions.

Meher is the gift for the bride and it should be what the two of them agree on. I say take him for all he is worth and set up a payment plan for him :D:D .

But jokes aside, Somali men dont pay meher because in our dhaqan, women only get paid if/when getting divorce. The sharia is different. My huby said innocently "ask for anything you want honey because I will never divorce you" :( When I explained to him that he will actually has to pay with or without divorce, he said "Still ask for anything you want but can I pay half now and half later"? :D

Woah hold it @ Aaliya and Haneefa. What on earth, I did not realize the women was been brought like merchandise, the mehr is a GIFT to the wife, and you should have your gift at the time of the nikkah. What does your mehr have to do with your worth as an individual. You can even ask for some ice cream and sweets if that is what you fancy having at the time.

Dear Ibti, you should know me better than that; it was a joke on my part! As for the talk of the worth, of course, I did state it wasn't the purpose of the Meher, but this was rather a feeling felt by some in that predicament about which I have been consulted some time ago. Lakiin, anigu, what do I know? Waligeeyba hooyadey iyo abahayba ma weydiisan lacag macdalaa nin qalaad!!

 

If I were to make a suggestion to the brothers, I'd say they should put a figure on the table (if it has to be monetary gift), but they should incline towards the upper bound just to be on the safer side, a reasonable sister would then deduce from that how much she should be asking, in accordance with his abilities.
