Since ancient times, dozens of peoples and nationalities peacefully coexisted on the territory of the Russian Federation. Moreover, in every region of our country every now and then new dialects arose, which were distinguished not only by their dialect, that is, their pronunciation, but also by their vocabulary. So, for example, in Siberia the word "mahr" is still used. These are thin pieces or segments that have an oblong shape.
Mahra Mahram - discord
Mahryas can be called flaps of fabric, cut into strips, pigtails, and even fringe, provided that they are practically detached from the base or close to it. Mahry is a certain type of rag, but not always. Some use this word to identify a damaged thing, others - to more accurately and in detail determine its characteristics.
Mahry is both fringe and tear. Everyone puts their own meaning in the meaning of this word. From it came the verb "smack." It means "make something worthless." Most often applied to garments or textiles. And terry is for the most part something woven or cloth.
From Siberia to the Urals
Since the word is regional in nature, there are several variants of its spelling, as well as pronunciation. The word "shun" is common not only in Siberia itself, but also in the Urals, and even in Kamchatka. And there are mohrushki. In Novosibirsk, they are called shaggy hair elastics and just fleecy rags.
So what is the real meaning of the word mahr? The meaning of a word, first of all, depends on the region in which it is used, and also on the social layer, whose representatives use it in their lexical usage.

Surprisingly, terries are found not only in Siberia or the Urals. It is enough to read the Quran, and everything will fall into place. For Muslims, “mahr” is a dowry that an oriental woman receives when she gets married. Muslim wives can dispose of their mahras as they please. In any case, this is stated in the Qur'an.
Despite the fact that it is the woman who must decide which part of the mahr to accept, and whether to accept the dowry at all, Allah condemns the deliberate overstatement of the mahr. Everything must have its price and match it. Mahr is presented to the bride after the marriage contract was concluded and the first wedding night took place.
If, for some reason, the size of the mahr was not agreed upon in advance, Shariah appoints its size. It is calculated on the basis of the size of the terries that other women surrounding the bride received at one time.
