The system of dowry is practiced by greed, social status, illiteracy and lack of willingness to adhere to laws causing effects such as initiating gender imbalance, decrementing status of women, promoting domestic violence and crime, deteriorating financial status of bride's family and loss of self -esteem among women.

Dowry system has become one of the greatest social evils these days and hundreds of innocent lives have been lost. Even the educated parents expect their daughter-in- law to bring money and gifts from her family. They use dowry system as a short-cut to amass wealth. Torturing someone else’s daughter, they never think of their own daughter.

Thus dowry is virus in marriage and Mahr is an anti-virus so install a powerful anti-virus and do not allow the virus to enter and destroy your life.

The glorious Quran commands men to give the required Mahr in Surah Nisa (4) :

"And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if  they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you take it and enjoy it with right good cheer."
