Why does the discussion of dowry (mhar) become such a very sensitive issue? Isn't it a requirement for marriage? Should the dowry actually be determined by the man or the woman?
Some people say that in the Quran it is already written and becomes the woman's right and should not burden the man.
A woman certainly states the amount of dowry she wants after careful consideration and in accordance with the man's capability. Why do men feel like they are being robbed?
And I also hear some people here saying "a divorced woman has no right to get a dowry because she is a divorced," isn't a divorced woman also a woman and a human being?
I think any woman who asks for a dowry certainly does not intend to rob the man who will become her leader (imam). They are only testing the extent to which they are respected Islamically by their future leader. Because we all know that in 2026, there is no woman who does not have an income.
Which one you choose? And why? For real, this is not a fun post.

Marriage Beyond the Wedding: An Islamic Perspective on Parental Responsibility
In our culture, parents often invest enormous amounts of time, money, and effort into arranging a marriage and organizing a wedding. Families carefully select venues, prepare dowries, invite relatives, and ensure that every ritual is performed beautifully. However, one of the most important questions is often overlooked: What happens after the wedding?
Marriage is not a one-day event; it is a lifelong commitment. The wedding marks the beginning of a journey, not its destination. Unfortunately, many young people enter marriage without being properly prepared for the realities that follow. They may not understand their rights and responsibilities, know how to communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, manage finances, or deal with the influence of extended family. As a result, they are left to navigate some of life's most challenging situations without guidance.
Islam places a great responsibility on parents not only to marry their children but also to prepare them for marriage. Allah says:
"O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire..." (Qur'an 66:6)
This protection is not limited to providing food, shelter, or arranging a wedding. It includes educating children, developing their character, and equipping them with the knowledge and wisdom necessary to build a healthy family life.
Parents should carefully investigate the character, values, and behavior of a prospective spouse and family rather than focusing solely on wealth, social status, or outward appearances. The Prophet ﷺ said:
"If there comes to you one whose religion and character please you, then marry him."
(Jami' at-Tirmidhi)
Religion and character are not demonstrated merely through words or outward displays of piety. They are reflected in honesty, responsibility, kindness, respect for others, emotional maturity, and the ability to fulfill commitments.
Parents should also ensure that important matters are discussed before marriage. Expectations regarding finances, education, employment, children, living arrangements, and family involvement should be clarified. Many marriages suffer not because the spouses are bad people, but because crucial issues were never addressed before the marriage took place.
Furthermore, young people should be taught that marriage requires communication, patience, mercy, and mutual respect. Allah describes the ideal marital relationship in the following words:
"And among His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy." (Qur'an 30:21)
Tranquility, affection, and mercy do not appear automatically after the nikah. They must be cultivated through understanding, emotional maturity, and sincere effort from both spouses.
Parents should also think about the long-term security of their children. They should encourage education, practical skills, financial awareness, and self-confidence. While marriage can provide companionship and support, no one can fully predict the future. Preparing children to stand on their own feet is not a sign of distrust; it is a sign of wisdom and responsibility.
In many cases, young people are expected to live with the consequences of decisions made largely by others. Therefore, parents have a moral and Islamic duty to exercise care, wisdom, and foresight when helping their children choose a life partner. Their responsibility does not end when the wedding is over. Rather, it extends to helping their children build a marriage based on faith, understanding, justice, and mutual respect.
A successful marriage is not secured by a beautiful wedding alone. It is secured by preparation, knowledge, character, communication, and a commitment to fulfilling the rights that Allah has placed upon both spouses.
