well we must understand that when you want to marry from those region,you are not actually paying mahr,you are purchasing a commodity,bcos i see the so called mahr as a sale,...

This is honestly what it appears to come down to. It was because of this that when my parents got married, my mother's father (with my mother's approval) insisted that the Mahr be so ridiculously (in the eyes of most people) low that no one could accuse him, his daughter, or her future husband (my father) of a "sale" having been made.

But then again his piety is the kind that one is lucky to encounter once in a lifetime. May Allah admit him into the garden.

Wa'salaam.
