One of the cornerstones of marriage in Islam is the dowry \u2018Mahr,\u2019 which is the groom’s gift to the bride. However, nowadays, the concept of dowry has changed that it has become far from Islamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Islamic marriages, the Mahr is one of the wife’s rights, which is hers to take in total and lawful. In contrast, some countries have a widespread practice, where the wife is given no dowry or even required to pay the dowry to the groom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dowry system nowadays<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In more than a dozen countries around the world, dowries <\/a>are common practice. In almost all cases, the practice directly or indirectly oppresses women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dowries are\u00a0wedding gifts. Usually, money from a bride\u2019s family is paid to a groom\u2019s family to solidify a marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, India is the epicentre of dowry culture. Even though the government banned the practice in 1961, many families are still expecting them. And this act oftentimes leads to abuse and violence.\u00a0Women who can\u2019t pay an expected dowry price or unable to make additional payments in the future are often subject to harassment and abuse.\u00a0To avoid larger dowries, families often marry their daughters off as children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dowry<\/a> system dehumanizes women by treating them as property- goods that can be exchanged. To make matters worse, the system also casts them as a burden rather than an asset, to be passed along. A bride\u2019s family pays the groom\u2019s family for the cost of taking care of the bride. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So each dowry that\u2019s paid reinforces a system where women are viewed as second-class citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Status of women in Islam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to the mentioned above dowry system, Islam raised women’s status more than 1400 years ago. From this position of inferiority, Islam raised women to a position of prestige in family and society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ibn \u2018Abbaas said: \u201cThis refers to the mahr (dowry).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion, Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said. summarizing the comments of the travellers on this Aayah: \u201cThe man must definitely pay the dowry to the woman, and he should not resent it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \u201cBut if you intend to replace a wife by another, and you have given one of them a Cantar (of gold, i.e., a great amount) as Mahr, take not the least bit of it back. Would you take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin? And how could you take it (back) when you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong covenant?\u201d [al-Nisaa\u2019 4:20-21]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahr and divorce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: \u201cThis means: if anyone of you wants to divorce his wife and replace her with another, you should not take anything from what you have already given the first wife. Even if it was a huge amount of wealth. The mahr is given in exchange for the right to enjoy marital relations. For this reason, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \u201cAnd how could you take it (back) when you have gone in unto each other\u2026?\u201d The \u201cfirm and strong covenant\u201d is the marriage contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, Anas ibn Maalik, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that \u2018Abd al-Rahmaan ibn \u2018Awf came to the Messenger of Allaah (PBUH), and there were traces of yellow (perfume) on him. The Messenger of Allaah (PBUH) asked him about it, and he told him that he had just married a woman of the Ansaar. The Prophet (PBUH) asked him, \u201cHow much did you give her?\u201d He said: \u201cGold equal to the weight of one date stone.\u201d The Messenger of Allaah (PBUH) said: \u201cGive a Waleemah (wedding feast) even if only with one sheep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Reported by al-Bukhaari, 4756).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dowry \u2018mahr\u2019 and the father<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mahr is the wife’s right, and it is not permitted for her father or anyone else to take it except with her approval. Abu Saalih said: \u201cWhen a man married off his daughter, he would take her mahr away from her. But Allaah forbade them to do that, and gave women the right to the mahr they received.\u201d (Tafseer Ibn Katheer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, if the wife foregoes any part of the mahr, the husband can take it. As Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): \u201c\u2026 but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it, take it, and enjoy it without fear of any harm (as Allaah has made it lawful).\u201d [al-Nisaa\u2019 4:4]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
