Mehrieh

In my point ofview we can't give this question an exact answer since it depends on people.

As an unique Iranian custom in the past thefamily of bride would ask the groom to pay an amount of something such as moneyto the bride

At the time noone would give or take this money or gold but in our time the story is totallydifferent

Little by littlethe amount of the custom became more and higher so that no man was able to paythem in case the woman asked him to pay

The brides wantedto put husbands in such a situation that could do nothing but obeying whateverthey say

Some women tookthe opportunity and took all the properties of their poor husbands. It was thetime that men were sent to jail just for not paying this Mehrieh.ع. Somemen were condemned to pay the amount monthly on the basis of their income. Buta short survey of divorce statistics shows that such high Mehrieh could notprevent men to divorce their wives.

On the other handwomen call this Mehrieh a support for their matrimony. There are men who arenot loyal to their wives. They usually have a secret woman in their lives. ThisMehrieh has been used as a tool for taking revenge from these capricious men.
