In which of the following cases did the court draw an analogy between dower (mahr) and the price in a contract of sale?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In the landmark decision of Abdul Kadir v. Salima (1886), Justice Mahmood of the Allahabad High Court examined the legal nature of dower (mahr) under Muslim law, explaining that while dower is a mark of respect imposed by law upon the husband, jurists had compared dower and the wife's right to resist cohabitation before payment of prompt dower by analogy to the price and the unpaid vendor's lien in a contract of sale.
