Arabic term

معاينة

Arabic to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) Marriage contract (عقد الزواج)
Hi everyone,

I came across the term معاينة in a Moroccan marriage contract, in the following sentence:

"...الحل للزواج الخالية من موانعه على صداق مبارك قدره 5000 درهم نقدها منه الف درهم معاينة والباقي بذمته حلولا لها باقراره عقد زواجها والدها المذكور"

The only meaning I've found for it is "inspection, examination etc" which doesn't sound quite right in this context.

The target audience is UK.

I appreciate your suggestions!

Thanks,

Nisah

as a prepaid dower

المقصود بالمعاينة في هذا السياق من عقد الزواج "مقدم المهر" الذي يدفعه العريس للعروس من إجمالي قيمة الصداق.
dowry = الصداق
The prepaid dower = مقدم الصداق
The deferred dower = مؤخر الصداق

يُسمى مقدم الصداق أيضًا: عاجل الصداق
ويُسمى مؤخر الصداق أيضًا: آجل الصداق
Example sentence:

"The wife's deputy received an amount of 1000 Moroccan dirhams from the husband as a prepaid dower in the same contracting session"
