In Islam,<\/a> <\/strong>there is no concept of dowry. But still it is practiced in Muslim societies. People confuse dowry with Mahr. Dowry is not English translation of Mahr. Mahr is the gift to bride from groom. At time of marriage<\/a><\/strong> groom gives money or anything called Mahr as a token to bear all expenses of his wife willingly.<\/a><\/strong> Whereas, in real life, groom side takes money, gifts even property from bridal side which is not accepted in Islam.<\/p>\n

In Islam,<\/a> <\/strong>a women has right<\/a><\/strong> to get money or property from man. So, It is advised to declare Mahr at the time of Nikkah.<\/a><\/strong> But if it is not declared it is still a woman\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> right to have Mahr.<\/p>\n

According to a tradition in Bukhari,<\/p>\n

\u2018Every marriage<\/a> without Mahr is null and void\u2019.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Holy Qur\u2019an instructs the believers:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd give to the women (whom<\/a> you marry) their Mahr or dower  with a good heart, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allah has made it lawful).\u201d (Surah An-Nisa: 4)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mahr is paid only<\/a> <\/strong>to wife to<\/a><\/strong> honor her and give respect to her. Mahr (Dowry) is obligatory on man and it should be necessarily given to his wife<\/a><\/strong> in order to honor her and give her respect and also to show her that he(husband)<\/a> <\/strong>has serious desire to marry her and to protect her. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
