declared him free/absolved/clesr of the dowry Explanation: Or: and he bacame dissolved/clear of the payment as she declared. The sentence is rather for prosaic purposes and an attempt to maintain an old tradition of writing deeds and certificates. Old deefs and certificated written by "adoul", a traditional notary public are full of such prose. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2021-09-09 07:56:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "cleAr" instead of "cleSr". Kindly amend. |

waived the Mahr [gave the dowry up] so the husband became fully exempted Explanation: The mahr is an enjoined legal obligation on the husband and a legally claimable right of the wife. It is an essential condition of a marriage under Islamic law and cannot be legally waived or rejected by the bride. However, the bride can of her own good pleasure remit it back to the husband after receiving it. This is reflected in Q4:4 – “And give women [upon marriage] their dower as an outright gift but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, then take it and enjoy it with satisfaction and pleasure”. This is reflected in both classical Islamic jurisprudence and in the modern Family Codes in Muslim-majority countries today. https://lawsblog.london.ac.uk/2020/05/27/muslim-lady-rejects... After completing a marriage contract, the wife has the right to give up her Mahr (bridal money). Canceling the Mahr prior to the marriage contract is not correct since the Mahr is among the conditions of a valid marriage. Giving up the Mahr before the marriage contract is nonsense, how can she give up her Mahr before owning it? https://www.islamweb.net/en/fatwa/86464/remitting-mahr-befor... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2021-09-08 23:56:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "I saw an example where this phrase was omitted, but it didn't explain what it meant or why it would be omitted. Is it a religious phrase?" Wives rarely waive the dowry, so this phrase becomes irrelevant in most of the marriage contracts. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2021-09-09 08:48:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- @Cara, The bride has to receive the dowry because it is an essential condition of marriage. Then, she has the right to remit it back to her husband. However, she can't reject it or waive it in advance. "Giving up the Mahr before the marriage contract is nonsense. How can she give up her Mahr before owning it?" Maybe this proves to the husband that she has voluntarily waived the dowry out of her own will. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2021-09-09 08:52:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The wife received the full amount of dowry in cash from the husband as mentioned above. Then, she remitted it back, so the husband became fully exempted. |
