Depends on how your bride is, if she's not materialist then obviously it will not cost you much. But if she likes flashing things, and showing off then you're in trouble.. Good luck..

My cousin recently paid £2000 for mehr in London. It depends really. Most can't afford more than $1000 for the Mehr.

I don't know why girls insist on asking for money for mehr. Title deed aya ka sharaf badan

BV, imagine someone googling Somali girls and mehr, the results would prolly disproportionately feature dangirl and her infamous tuufax/apple.

Exactly

Meher: 7,000 – 10,000
Aroos and other Maalayacnis: 15,000 -20,000
If you’re leasing a condo: 1,500 – 2,000 (+1,500 -2,000 deposit) = 3,000 to 4,000 to start
Furnishing:
Bedroom set + mattress: 3,000 – 3,500
Living Room: 4,000 to 5,000
Electronics : 3,000 to 4,000
Kitchen: 1,000 – 1,500
Vacation Package: 2,000 to 6,000
Miscellania: 2,000

Total: A whole lot of money i.e. the cost to be a boss

I don't subscribe to the notion of the groom spending an obscene amount of money on what should be a simple ceremony joining two people in matrimony.

This ostentatious spending that basically amounts to a bride price is obviously a patriarchal relic where women are practically considered a commodity.

Ideally, a society that has moved beyond simplistic gender norms no longer expects broke ass faraxs to spend their entire life savings on a marriage that is highly likely to fail.

The fools who have encouraged the bourgeois affectations of their soon to be ex-wives deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule.

Get yourself a salafi xalimo with her V card intact and save yourself a lot of headache.

Based, I like you, but your marxist views are below a man of your caliber. Let ur xiniinyo hang bro. Equality is a myth, and chasing it is a pipedream. Hierarchy and patriarchy have been vindicated by history and science. Just look around you and witness the cultural and moral wasteland that is the West, thanks to the bankrupt ideas of the left.

That seems quite extreme tbh

InaS it can cost a few thousands or tens of thousands. It comes down to your budget, better think of how much you've got and how far it can stretch instead of the other way around. The worst thing in my opinion is starting off your new life with debt hanging over you

But to answer your question I don't expect to contribute towards the house or furnishings. Would contribute towards the wedding and would spend 2 - 4 month's salary depending on how big

Good point. Thanks for your input.

That reasoning is problematic. So if a girl doesnt have a big bash folks won't think she is 'good'?

$15k All expenses paid "excluding furnishing".Any more & you're a wasteful nut.

Just another reason to marry a fob! Couple of donkey's & economy ticket to the us and I'm gold.


Signed Salih...

No woman should marry a man who is run by his sister. That marriage will definitely not last long!

Btw, Aishah, why are you between your brother and his future wife? Would you prefer your sister-in-law between you and your husband?

Hoyo is not here so am the 5*general we agreed they do the wedding and we will fix the house she choose what goes in we buy marka laso iibiyo baa leedahay I don't want it
