Learn when remarriage is permitted after divorce or a husband's death under Muslim law, then study mahr (dower) and the wife's right to payment. This Law Easy lecture covers two distinct Family Law topics with examples for LL.B. and law exam revision.
In the first part, the lecture explains iddat, how its duration changes after divorce or death, pregnancy, consummation and valid retirement, and the Sunni and Shia rules discussed in the video. It also covers remarriage during iddat, revocable divorce, maintenance and inheritance, including the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act, 1986 and Danial Latifi v Union of India.
In the second part, learn what mahr is, how it differs from dowry, specified and proper dower, prompt and deferred dower, payment after divorce or death, the widow's right of retention, and remission. The discussion includes the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 and the 1986 Act.
