Stipulations Regarding Dowry & Mahr al-Mithl
<QUESTION>
I have been married for 2 years but unfortunately things are not working out... we are going through a very turbulent period where we have already decided to part ways. However, her family says that a condition which they put forward at the time of marriage was that I would pay her (my wife) a large sum of money (5 figures) should I divorce her in the future. I do not recall ever accepting such conditions. On the contrary I have always disagreed to having any conditions placed on my marriage. I cannot afford such figures now nor am I willing to accept this condition. Am I wrong? Or am I being wronged by the other party? Is this request of theirs acceptable in Shariah; a contract within the Nikah for a large sum? Please could you enlighten me with some guidance?
