We represent clients in Mehrieh (Islamic dowry) disputes and recovery

principles intersect. Our firm has handled numerous Mehrieh
enforcement and defence cases, giving us extensive experience with
both the legal framework and the cultural significance of these
obligations.
Hossein Niroomand is widely regarded as one of the leading
practitioners in Ontario in this area. He has acted in Mehrieh claims
before various levels of court, advancing and defending claims
involving Iranian and/or Islamic marriage contracts. His work includes

as bringing or defending stand-alone contractual actions for dowry
recovery.
Because this is one of his primary areas of expertise, Mr. Niroomand
is also a highly effective mediator in Mehrieh-related disputes. He
understands both the legal complexities and the cultural
sensitivities, enabling him to help parties reach practical,
respectful, and lasting resolutions outside of court.
