What Can Be Requested as Mehir?

Assets of economic value such as money, gold, silver, jewelry, and movable or immovable property can be requested as mehir (also known as mahr). The right to benefit from a property that can be used and transferred, and that the parties can clearly define, may also be designated as mehir.

For example, the mehir can be agreed as a specific amount of Turkish lira, gold by gram or by piece, a specific quantity of silver, a vehicle, or real estate. What matters here is that the requested value is described clearly enough — what it is, its amount, and its characteristics — to leave no room for ambiguity.

Instead of just “gold,” how many grams and what type of gold; instead of “a house,” which specific property is meant — these should be stated clearly. It also helps the process move forward smoothly if the value requested as mehir is realistic and achievable. Couples can additionally decide whether the mehir will be given entirely upfront, on a specific date, or in installments.

MehirApp lets couples define the agreed type, amount, and payment method of the mehir in a digital environment. A mehir set as money, gold, or silver can be included in the couple's shared financial plan through solutions such as the Mehir Wallet, gold and silver wallets, a payment plan, MehirBES (private pension), and optional Mehir Life Insurance.

In MehirApp's couple-focused approach, what matters is not only what is requested, but how that value will be planned, protected, and tracked.
