  1. Dowry practices appear in some form across major religions. Before Islam, the bride’s family gave dowries to the groom’s family. Islam changes this practice by requiring the groom to give mahr to the bride, highlighting her rights and dignity. With the revelation of the Quran in the 7th century CE, Islam redefined the practice of dowry. The Quran establishes mahr as a mandatory gift from the groom to the bride, making it her exclusive property. This reform protects the bride’s rights and ensures her financial security. The change honors women and provides them with financial independence within the marital relationship. The Quran addresses mahr in Surah An-Nisa (4:4): “Give the women (on marriage) their mahr as an obligation, but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, take it in satisfaction and ease.” This verse emphasizes that mahr is an obligation that the groom must fulfill willingly and that it is a right of the bride. The verse also allows for the bride to willingly remit part of the mahr, reflecting a balance of fairness and respect.
