Q592

In Shia law

A.
Minimum dower prescribed is 3 dirhams
B.
Minimum dower prescribed is 10 dirhams
C.
Minimum dower prescribed is 100 dirhams
D.
No minimum dower has been prescribed
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
Shia law does not prescribe any minimum dower amount.

Dower is an amount payable by the husband to the wife as a mark of respect and security.

Unlike Sunni law, where some minimum amounts may be prescribed, Shia law allows the parties to mutually decide the dower amount without any fixed minimum limit.

This approach highlights flexibility in the Shia legal system regarding matrimonial financial arrangements.
