Usually both does not ask something Financial, but they asks if the future husband capable to make their daughter happy and free of life needs or not.

Yes but this is for foreign husband and is part of the marriage contract. A foreigner has to do a lot to marry a Moroccan woman, compared to Moroccan man

I am going to Morocco on April 2018 Insha ALLAH from Saudi Arabia where I am currently working as expatriates. My budget is 40,000 SAR or 98,000 Morocco Dirham.

I will give dowry to my wife as follows:
Set of gold jewelry worth 8600 Dirham
Cash worth 10,000 Dirham
------------------------------------------------------
Remaining is 79,400 Dirham

Will she and her family accept my dowry (jewelry+10,000 dirham) as package? Including everything no extra charge

So, any other deductions like the family of the girl won't ask anything?

Who will provide the cost for Wedding Receptions like the foods, tables, etc.? The wedding dress for girl? The girl side or my side? even though we will set our wedding in the girls house.

In the end, whatever the remaining amount of money, we will use it for our Honeymoon in Turkey and after I come back to resume my work in Saudi Arabia, I will process her visa to come with me in abroad.

Brother I鈥檓 sure the amount for her is fine and will be accepted by both her and family

The family shouldn鈥檛 ask for anything , most families would be so embaresed to ask and this is not the Moroccan way

You will most likely pay for the wedding costs, dress, food etc but it doesn鈥檛 cost much, maybe 3000 dirhams or 4000. Set your budget around this I think. Obviously some woman would invite the whole city but just family / close friends is fine

You will have enough for a very nice holiday in a Turkey. Just don鈥檛 go five star all the way as then you set a standard to keep!

This 10,000 dirham that the Adul will stipulates on the contract? Where these 10,000 dirham will go afterwards? To a girl or the Adul himself?

To the girl

The wedding dress - I didn鈥檛 buy one, just rented for the day. I think 3 or 4 dresses I rented as they like to change. They tried to get me in Moroccan dress costume but I stayed strong and kept my jubba

This will save a lot of money. Also I would avoid wedding rings, a waste of money and it鈥檚 a Christian practice not from Islam

If I go to Morocco. To whom I will go and ask for marriage proposal? Her father or her brother?

Her father. But I didn鈥檛 really ask , they just had a family meeting and eldest sister to wife鈥檚 dad said yes it sounds a good idea. It鈥檚 good to ask her father out of respect

If I may ask
What if the moroccan man marries a foreign woman in Morocco , a woman who has been married before and divorced and has no family with her for the marriage ceremony in aduls office also has no interpreter. As I was not asked nor explained to about the process and not offered anything. Seems unfair to me, not that I am expecting the world , but are we western women not worth what a moroccan woman is worth ?聽

Hello Lynn hope you are well

I鈥檓 not an expert but in the Islamic marriage (nikkah) something has to be given (called Maher). This has been set with a minimum in Morrocco. If the wife wants to get out of the marriage she has to pay it back. If a man wants to end the marriage he has to have paid it first. Often the payment is deferred. Similarly when I got married I didn鈥檛 have a translator but the marriage contract was translated first before I signed it, with the payment marked as deferred. I was only going to give a book! Maybe yours is also deferred? Are you in Morrocco now?

Thank you for that informative reply goldkhalifa, he was asked if I remember correctly what the Maher was , and he replied that he would get me something, as he had not offered me anything beforehand, which later on was a small bracelet, I am under the impression that Moroccan women expect gifts of jewellery and cash which can be quite a lot. Don't get me wrong I am not greedy and don't expect much, but somehow I get the feeling that for some this is an easy way out of having to provide a large sum for a wedding.聽 聽 I am still waiting for him to provide a home for us as he has been refused a visa twice to live with me, we have been married 3 yrs in May and been apart since. I have known him longer. At times I feel very frustrated and confused.聽

Yes it is often cash or jewellery. There are examples from the time of the Prophet when what was given was small or people couldn鈥檛 find anything to give at first. I know in some countries now the women ask for a lot and even the woman鈥檚 family take some money which is nothing to do with it. Like your husband I only offered something small, but the adul stated it at to be 10000 diramms so I had to go with it as deferred. A lot of Muslim do spend huge amounts on weddings but this not recommended. It's difficult with them rejecting your husbands visa , messing up your plans. It鈥檚 hard in Morrocco financially but in the end I think it will be the better place to live.
