Mahr (dower)
Mahr (dower), Mahr (dower) is neither dowry nor price for marriage: As explained in an old judgment by Justice Syed Mahmood, maher is 'not the exchange or consideration given by the man to the woman, but an effect of the contract imposed by law on the husband as a token of respect for its subject: the Woman'. Giving a correct appraisal of the concept of maher, the Privy Council once described it as 'an essential incident to the status of marriage'. On another occasion it explained that maher was a 'legal responsibility' of the husband. These judicial observations evidence a correct understanding of the Islamic legal concept of maher. Its substitute, a valid retirement, or by death, which by terminating the marriage, puts an end to all the contingencies to which it is exposed; and on the other hand the woman becomes entitled to it as soon as she has surrendered her person. Justice Mahmood has described the nature of mahr in Abdul Kadir Salima. According to him: Dower (mahr), under the M...
Proof
Proof, does not mean proof to rigid mathematical demonstration, because that is impossible; it must mean such evidence as would induce a reasonable man to come to a particular conclusion, Hawkins v.

Also standard strength of spirituous liquids.See BURDEN OR PROOF; EVIDENCE; BANK-RUPTCY; WINDING-UP.The word 'proof' need be understood in the sense in which it is defined in the Evidence Act because proof depends upon the admissibility of evidence. A fact is said to be proved when, after considering the matters before it, the court either believes it to exist, or considers its existence so probable that a prudent man ought, under the circumstances of the particular case, to act upon the supposition that it exists. This is the definition given for the word 'proved' in the Evidence Act. What is required is production of such materials on which the court can reaso...
