* Note 004:005. Moslem marriage is a contract that requires payment of a consideration by the husband to his wife as of her right. It is no divorce money payable if a divorce occurs. It is no sacrament controlled by the clergy who mandate the marriage to be life-long and impose a life-long stigma if a divorce occurs. It is no free gift that husband makes in honesty, integrity and sincerity of the marriage willingly, voluntarily and truthfully. The accurate translation is that it is the Mahr, the ‘obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage.’ Calling this right of the wife to a compulsory and required payment as a husband’s ‘free gift’ is a misnomer)
