DOWRY• This is a totally un-Islamic practice. In Islam,
women are not the properties of their families or a material good. This is an insulting practice that we see being committed daily in our society. • The bridegroom to demand a certain amount
of money (or other items of value) from the bride or her family, usually the bride's father, without which the marriage cannot take place. • The curse of this deplorable practice is such
that many women don’t get married because their families cannot meet the long list of demands by the bridegroom!

Demands • Cultures that demand dowry from
the bride's family are actually practicing the opposite of what Allah has commanded. • They have reversed Allah's words
in their practice. The bride is forced to pay a negotiated amount to the groom unless the man chooses not to take it.

It is a sad irony that women (mostly mothers-in-law) are oppressive towards other women (daughters-in-law). Mostly, mothers-in-law-to-be are the ones who demand dowry from the bride's family and who end up torturing the daughter-in-law after marriage if she brings less than the negotiated amount.

Bride burningWhen the woman brings less than the negotiated amount, she has to endure constant torture from her in-laws after marriage. When the husband or in-laws are not satisfied with the dowry brought by the bride, they even go to the extent of killing the woman after marriage.
The most severe among all the dowry abuse is "bride burning". The parties engaged in the murder usually report the case as an accident or suicide.
