Nikah (Marriage) - Talaaq (Divorce) The Majlis Vol 28 No 02, p.10

My mehr was one krugerrand which my husband had not paid.

Question

My mehr was one kruger-rand which my husband had not paid. Nine years have passed and we are now divorced. At the time of our marriage the value of a krugerrand was R20,000. Today the value is R64,000 (Sep 2025). He claims that he has to pay the value which the coin had at the time of the Nikah. Is it right?

Answer

No it is not right. He has to pay you one krugerrand or its current value.
