A lawyer and legal expert, referring to the Guardian Council's objections to the bill 'Amendments to Certain Provisions of the Law on the Implementation of Financial Sentences and Civil Law' (known as the Mahr bill), called for a shift in approach from setting a 'single ceiling for Mahr' to creating 'multifaceted support mechanisms.' He emphasized that to maintain family cohesion, tools such as priority Mahr, fair asset division, and insurance support should be utilized.
