Dowry !!

Dowry is an illegal and hateful practice in the eyes of Islam. Dowry is the gift given by the bridegroom as per the contractual demand of the bridegroom except for the dowry. In Islam, accepting dowry is completely forbidden.

It is not only impermissible to collect dowry as a condition of marriage under the provisions of Shariah; Rather it has been regarded as obvious oppression. There are many newly emerging customs or rituals in the life of the society which are seriously harmful for the whole society. Dowry is not new to our society but a tool of economic exploitation that has been around for a long time.

The abominable dowry system has emerged as an obstacle to a fair and orderly marriage. The inferior mentality of collecting dowry with marital relationship is tantamount to insulting humanity as a human being. According to the rules of Islam, there is no room for inhumanity in the conduct of human life.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) warned,

"No one's wealth is halal unless he provides it with satisfaction."

Islam's view on dowry is that the principle of Islam in the case of economic transactions should not be obtained illegally or in an indefinite way.

It has been narrated in the Holy Qur'an,

‘Do not consume each other's wealth unjustly among yourselves.’ (Surat al-Baqara, verse 18)

What is unjust or unjust cannot be accepted or claimed in any way. It is said in the Holy Qur'an that if it is done by force, it is a great injustice and its punishment can be horrible. Al-Nisa, verse 30) Dowry has no place in religious principles. The current dowry system is the complete opposite of the provision of marriage in Islam.

In the case of marital transactions, Islam dictates that the husbands must pay some money to the wife. Denmohar is one of the means to legalize marriage. Mohrana is very important in marriage in Islam. It has been strictly imposed on Muslim society since the advent of Islam. Mohrana Kanya's fair right. In the Holy Qur'an, Allah has clearly instructed women to give their dowry with satisfaction on the occasion of marriage, "And you will give women their dowry voluntarily." (Surah An-Nisa, verse 4)
