Consent<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\nBoth the groom and the bride must consent to the marriage, both verbally and in writing. This is done through a formal proposal of marriage (ijab<\/em>) and acceptance of the proposal (qabul<\/em>). A first-time bride is usually represented in the contract negotiations by her\u00a0Wali–<\/em>a male guardian who looks out for her best interests. Even so, the bride must also express her willingness to enter into marriage. Consent cannot be obtained from those who are legally unable to give it–such as people who are incapacitated, minor children, or those who have physical or mental impairments that limit their capacity to understand and consent to a legal contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>Mahr\/Dowry<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\nThis word is often translated as \u201cdowry\u201d but is better translated as \u201cbridal gift.\u201d The bride has a right to receive a gift from the groom, which remains her own property as security in the marriage. The gift is payable directly to the bride and remains her sole property, even\u00a0if the marriage later ends in divorce. The mahr can consist of cash, jewelry, property or any other valuable asset. Either full payment or an agreed-upon payment schedule is required at the time of contract signature. The mahr may also be deferred until termination of the marriage through death or\u00a0divorce<\/a>; in such an instance, the unpaid mahr becomes a debt against the husband\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n<\/div>
