ANSWER:

This is not how mahr is decided 

You both must agree to an amount for mahr and it cannot be ambiguous like this. Also the witnesses must testify such conditions. 

QUESTION: I discussed my mehr with my husband prior to my nikah, and I included a condition along with the sum he was paying.

However, since we kept it between us, and it wasn’t recorded in writing, is it still valid? What if he denies that now?

QUESTION: In my culture when two want to get married, the man MUST pay a ‘maal’. Which is money that he has to pay to the girl’s family in order to marry her. Is this permissible?
