Article 30 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

The dower must be specified generally as to its nature, description, amount or number in a manner that removes uncertainty overall. If it is indeterminate, such as a thing, a portion or a share, the dower shall be invalid, and upon consummation the wife shall be entitled against him to the dower of women comparable to her.
Arabic original
لا بد أن يكون المهر معيناً بالجملة من حيث حقيقته أو صفته أو مقداره أو عدده بما يرفع الجهالة إجمالاً، فلو كان مبهماً كشيء أو نصيب أو حصـة بطل المهر، واستحقت الزوجة عليه مهر أمثالها مع الدخول.
