Nabi Kareem Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: The best women of my ummah are those that are beautiful and whose dowry is less. (Dailami) What wisdom is there in unnecessarily burdening the husband with an extravagant dowry especially if he cannot afford it? The success of the marriage is the mutual love of the partners which cannot be purchased by wealth. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: The most blessed nikah is the one with the least expenses. (BAIHAQI- IN SHUABUL IMAN) Today, many of the destitute destroy the youth of their daughters because of not being able to uphold petty customs. They do not possess anything to give nor do they want to have the nikah without an extravagant dowry in fear of being criticized by the other family members. In order to make our nikahs more blessed we should abandon these futile customs and on such occasions take a lesson from the simple nikah of Hadhrat Fatima al- Zahra Radhiallahu Anha whose dowry was one water-bag and one bed.
