Fariba Ershadi Sep 22, 2022:
I agree with the translation as "marriage portion" not dowry. Dowry is brought in by the bride whereas the mahr (or marriage portion) is what the groom pays to the bride's family in order to marry her. I have seen the two terms used interchangeably erroneously by attorneys in court here in California.

A mahr is a marriage gift, or dower in Islam https://eapil.org/2020/07/13/what-is-a-mahr-a-european-chara...
