Mehir (also known as mahr) can be set in gold by mutual agreement between the couple. Because gold is an asset that can preserve its value over the long term, is easy to measure, and is widely used, it frequently stands out as a preferred choice for mehir.
When the mehir is set in gold, a general statement such as "gold will be given" may not be sufficient. The type of gold, the amount, and the payment method should be clearly stated. For example, the mehir can be agreed in gram gold, quarter gold coins, full gold coins, bracelets, or another type of jewelry. If gram gold is chosen, the total number of grams should be specified; if gold jewelry or coins are chosen, the type and quantity should be made clear.
Since the price of gold can change over time, recording the mehir as an amount of gold rather than as its Turkish lira equivalent can help preserve the value the parties agreed on. For example, a clear definition such as "20 grams of gold" instead of "gold worth 100,000 TL" reduces uncertainties that may arise from future price changes.
Gold mehir can be given upfront, or it can be paid on specific dates or in installments. In that case, it is important to record each payment in grams or units and to track the remaining amount regularly.
MehirApp supports couples in recording the amount of mehir they have set in gold, creating a payment plan, and tracking the remaining mehir. Thanks to the gold wallet offered alongside the Mehir Wallet, the mehir does not remain merely a written commitment; it can be made part of the couple's shared savings and investment plan.
