Relationship by marriage is not realized except by (payment of) dowries [note 2] (al-amhar, plural of mahr). The amount estimated for towns is nineteen mithqals of pure gold, and for villages it is (the same amount of) silver. Whoever desires more is forbidden to go beyond ninety-five mithqals. So is the matter recorded by Might.

Whoever is content with the first amount (i.e., nineteen mithqals), it is better for him according to the Book. He enriches whomsoever He wills by the causes of heavens and earth. God is powerful over everything.
