Iranian Mahr (Dowry) Enforceable as Contract between Two Fiduciaries - In a consolidated appeal, Court of Special Appeals in Maryland ruled that promise of Husband(s) to pay Islamic mahr to Wife(ves) IS an enforceable contract between two fiduciaries. The cases involved two Iranian couples.

Held: Provisions in religious marriage contracts may be enforced by a Maryland court if, but only if, their secular terms are enforceable under neutral principles of contract law.

The Court did not differentiate if the mahr was entered in Iran or U.S., prior to or after the U.S. marriage, or prior enforcement in Iran. In reaching result the Court relied heavily on famous California cases including: Turfe (2018, nature of mahr) ; Bonds (2000, aspects of premarital contracts); Dajani (1988, dowry is not dower); Noghrey (1985, enforcement contingent on divorce); and Dowly (1976, no unreasonable violation of public policy).

A new video resource is now available on the Los Angeles County Superior Court’s website for Family Law litigants. The link to the video, “From Conflict to Agreement,” can be found on the Family Law page under Online Services. The video is available in English and Spanish, both with and without subtitles. Through focusing on a fictionalized telling of one couple’s experience in a group for parents in conflict, the video describes tools parents can use to reduce their conflict and turn their attention to a child-focused resolution to their child custody dispute. The video is approximately 70 minutes long and can be stopped and re-started at any point. We encourage you to take advantage of this free and readily accessible resource.
