The law places the responsibility of respecting the wife on the husband. Maher belongs to the wife only, not to her parents or husband. If the husband is a minor, the responsibility of Maher rests with the husband's parents.

Who decides the dowry given in marriage?
The mehr is determined by the independence of both the parties, usually the circumstances of both the parties and their social status, clan, descent or reputation, the wife's educational qualifications and her achievements, the husband's financial status, the parties' self-satisfaction, conduct and customs. Muslim law also states that mahr can be used as a tool to control the husband so that he does not divorce his wife.
