Question
My mehr was one kruger rand stipulated at the time of the Nikah 12 years ago. I have asked my husband to pay my Mehr. What value should be considered – the value of the coin 12 years ago or today's value?
Answer
It is Waajib for your husband to give you one kruger-rand. Forget about the value. Ask for the coin. After he has paid the Mehr with the coin, then you may decide to sell it or keep it. Comparatively speaking, the value 12 years ago was peanuts. Today the value of a Kruger rand is more than R50,000.
