What a valid mahr deed must contain and a step-by-step writing guide. Downloadable sample template.

A mahr deed should include the parties’ names, the agreed mahr (type and amount), the delivery type (prompt/deferred), witnesses if any, and the date. Clear, unambiguous wording strengthens its evidentiary value.

Information it should contain

  • Full names of both parties
  • The agreed mahr: type (gold, cash, etc.) and amount
  • Delivery type: prompt (muaccel) / deferred (müeccel)
  • Date and marriage details (if any)
  • Witnesses (optional) and the parties’ signature/approval

For a ready example you can view our sample mahr deed; then create its digital version approved by both parties on mehir.co.
