Is dowry very important?

The children are no less than a gift from Allah almighty for man, if the son is a blessing, then Allah has declared the daughter as a mercy. The daughter is a rare flower blooming in the courtyard of the parents, just as the parents bring themselves to every stage to save themselves from every pain and sorrow. When a father hands over this flower to someone, he knows what goes on his heart or God.
In today’s time, parents are so worried about the marriage of daughters that for the marriage of the daughter, they fill themselves with their own debt. Dowry is a common term that is called the goods given to a woman at the time of marriage. These items are usually assigned to the groom’s parents or the groom’s family before marriage. The method of determining dowry may vary from country to country and culture. This is a pureLy Indian ritual known in India as “Tilak”, in the ritual of Tilak, the bride’s father sends money and other goods to his future son-in-law’s house before marriage.
Nowadays, this ritual is spreading rapidly like a demon not only in Pakistan but also in many countries. The curse of dowry has made the lives of millions of sisters and daughters hell and has brutally strangled the colorful dreams of the future living in their eyes. The treatment meted out to a girl for not bringing dowry is intolerable. Parents who raised the daughter of Palpos give her some gifts while leaving the door of the house, which is a natural process due to the love of the children, but in the present era, these gifts have been made a request program. I will increase the honor and she will be happy, but neither the honor in the girl’s in-laws increases nor the period of happiness increases.
Which the girls have to fulfill to save the girl’s happiness and home, whether they are settled or not. People are of the view that dowry can be a way to keep a girl happy in her in-laws, due to which it has become the most important issue of the society, dowry is like taking bribe in a way. As if both are equal partners in sin. Dowry is not necessary, but some consider it an important part of marriage. Earlier it was a social ritual, now it has become oppression, where when daughters are born first, they are considered as mercy, when they reach the age of marriage, they become troublesome. Some people associate dowry with the Sunnah of the Prophet
According to the Sunnah, The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had ordered some household items through Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) with the money of Hazrat Ali Salwa on the marriage of Princess Islam, Hazrat Bibi Fatima Salat, which was not dowry in the surname, because the goods were from the money of Hazrat Ali Salat. Some scholars say that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) had given this item to his daughter on his behalf, if the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) bought goods on his behalf and gave it to his daughter, then the things mentioned in the narrations were only those things of household necessity which were used daily. So it is wrong to associate it with the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Dowry is neither an integral part of marriage nor is it necessary for every father to give dowry to the daughter. The meaning of the word dowry is not to give the term dowry, but to manage and manage the need, for Hazrat Fatima Salat, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) arranged these things on his behalf and with his own money as the guardian of Hazrat Ali Salat.
Nowadays, this ritual has also become such that the boys of the poor house are also marrying the girls of the families with more wealth and more assets and the girl of the poor house is spending the passing days of life sitting in front of the parents. It is a demon that is not only spreading rapidly in the society but is also spreading its roots in the human mind so much that the desire of human beings is increasing day by day. Instead of leaving the girl in two couples for marriage, it has become necessary to arrange a complete function and other meals. We often see people finding fault with wedding food. Food is dull, tasteless, there is a sentence to say that people take out of the mouth, this sentence is no less than an arrow that hits the heart of a father, he not only hands over his liver to someone but also puts all the savings of life. This is a harsh reality of society that we see every day as silent spectators. Sadly, we deny this fact knowing it. Some parents give dowry to a child by filling them with the capacity.
And ignoring other children is sheer injustice. The problems in Pakistan are so full that no attention is being paid to solving them. If the marriage is in accordance with the Sunnah, then many wasteful expenses can be avoided if people change their thinking a little and give the girl the same respect and status that religion has given them, then more than half of the riots in the society will end. After marriage, keep in mind that it is the responsibility of the husband and not her parents, think a little and try to adapt yourself and Islam.
