One of the rights established by Sharia and law to protect women is Mahr. But Mahr is not one of the pillars of permanent marriage, and even a marriage without it is valid. Heavy Mahrs are one of the legal and social problems of our society. In many cases, disproportionate and unreasonable Mahrs, instead of providing financial support to the wife and the strength of the family, are used as a tool to threaten and cause anxiety in couples and as a result shake the foundation of the family to the point that it causes the phenomenon of husband abuse. Therefore, the question is whether the government can intervene in determining the amount of Mahr according to its expediency and limit and adjust it according to a commanding rule, and in order to reduce legal and social problems, prevent disproportionate and heavy Mahrs? Accordingly, in the present article, we have come to the conclusion that the government, based on expediency and necessity, can intervene in the institution of Mahr like other legal issues that have social dimensions and seek to adjust and limit the Mahr through legislation.
