Mahr in Islamic marriage is a woman’s legal right and a symbol of respect, yet its meaning may shift when its monetary value is used to measure a woman’s personal worth and social status. This study analyzes mahr in Shāfi‘ī jurisprudence and reconstructs its contemporary meaning in relation to women’s dignity and psychological well-being. Using qualitative library research, the study applies normative-conceptual and descriptive-hermeneutical analysis to Shāfi‘ī legal texts and relevant supporting literature. The findings show that Shāfi‘ī jurisprudence positions mahr as a woman’s right rather than a price attached to her personal value. Excessive emphasis on monetary value may shift mahr toward materialization and relational pressure. The study proposes five principles for reconstructing its meaning: rights, consent, benefit, proportionality, and well-being. This reconstruction does not alter the normative rules of Shāfi‘ī jurisprudence, but reorients their implementation toward the protection of women’s rights and dignity.
