Mahr (Arabic) is a tradition in Islamic marriage. It is a mandatory gift given by the groom to the bride. But unlike a bride price, it is given directly to the bride and not to her father. Although the gift is often money, it can be anything agreed upon by bride and groom such as a house or viable business that is put in her name and can be run and owned entirely by her if she chooses. The Persian equivalent is Mahrieh. Qur'an verse 4:4 mentions mahr.
