Is it permissible to give the Mahr without witnesses?

Witnessing is legislated in all financial transactions. It is commendable (mustahabb) but not obligatory. This includes witnessing the giving of the dowry (mahr). Witnessing is preferable to prevent anticipated disputes, as the absence of witnessing and documentation is a cause for disagreements and conflicts.
