THE MAHR: Mahr is a obligatory gift that the bride or her family might want, and that the groom should give to the bride. Mahr is also a symbol of the responsibility to take care of his wife, and the bride may ask for something of material value such as money or gold.
THE WALI: Wali is the bride’s father who “gives” her daughter, and the family obtains the bride’s consent for this. In the event of the father’s death, another male member of the family can take on this task.
