Oh, sorry. Haq-Meher is sort of a gift which the groom is suppose to give the bride during the course of their marriage.Haq-Meher is customary in Islam.Usually the haq-meher is paid off by money.For example, during the time of the Nikkha or the Islamic marriage certificate acknowleding the wedding of two persons, the bride and the groom decide upon what the haq-meher is suppose to be. Haq-meher, according to my knowledge, is the amount of money which the groom agrees to pay the wife. At the time of divorce, the husband MUST pay the haq-meher to which he promised to pay during the marriage. I hope I cleared it up a bit, otherwise Iam trying to find an article to give you a better understanding of what haq-meher really is.:) ;)

Oh okey,we call it Mahr :)

Sounds like a dowry.

some people have called it that in English but thats incorrect. Its not a dowry.
Even my Islamic history prof. told us that.
Dowries aren't allowed in Islam.

The Arabic members on this forum may not understand that word. The word "Haq-meher" or "Haq-i-Meher" is an Urdu word used by Muslims mostly in Pakistan, India etc.
The Arabic word for it must be different.
Its a gift as well as the amount of money that has to be given to the bride in case of a divorce. It can be a small amount or a large amount, it all depends on the financial situation of the groom.
Also, it would be rude and disrespectful to announce something so private to the public. So I doubt you'll find out how much royal brides or any Muslim bride gets. Such private matters are only known to the bride and groom and some of their family members.

Yea I thought it wasn't arabic,lol,well here it's called Al-Mahr المهر

Thank you for the pictures, Humera. It's nice to see that she's at work again now she's back from her trip, although she must be exhausted after such a hectic week.

QR visits the Pope with her husband, then goes to the US for a number of meetings and presentations, then is back at work in Jordan, taking care of her children and participating in a bike race!!!!! Where does she get her energy? I'm serious; I'd be beat at the end of one of these days--without the jet lag! She must be very disciplined as even QN complained about the constant jet lag and how difficult it could be to function with the disruption in her sleep schedule. Yes, she has assistants and help but they don't have to show up and be her, making the appearances and participating in events like the bike ride. Has QR ever said it gets a bit overwhelming at times?
 
I think it is impressive maryshawn. But I also think thats how active and hands on a modern Queen should be. There should be more to this role than just showing up an event holding flowers, opening exhibitions, museums etc. Sadly that seems to be the extent of the duties many of the European princesses and queens perform. Thats not a criticism on them in any way since the nature of the monarchy in Europe is so different. The ME is a different place however and its good to see its first ladies be so involved.

I was struck by the latest pictures too because Rania actually toured a little village, met with local women, children, and then joined the peace march all in one afternoon.

"Yes, she has assistants and help but they don't have to show up and be her, making the appearances and participating in events like the bike ride. Has QR ever said it gets a bit overwhelming at times?"

In the interview she did after the birth of Hashem with Hello, she spoke of how she wanted to slow down more after his birth and how hard it can be as a Queen.

Personally the jet lag alone would have knoked me out cold after such a busuy couple of weeks but she's ready, raring and eager to go, it seems.
 
I wonder if QR will be accompanying KA during his visit to Palestine and Israel. I'd love to see more of her on foreign visits with KA. There haven't been enough of those this year.I know she wants to be home more but she'll most likely be bringing little Hashem along anyway.
Princess Salma has probably started going to school by now.
