Asslam Alaikum dear sisters and brothers in Islam.
I wanted to know what is the Islamic ruling regarding dowry. I hail from North India and dowry is a big issue here. The grooms family demands lump sum dowry from the brides family which includes cash, goods, vehicles, gold and whatever you can think of.
Also there are so many cases of dowry deaths and incidents where the girl is tortured, beaten up and even murdered for dowry.
Now that I am of marriageable age and my parents are finding a groom for me, I have to know what is the ruling regarding dowry. If you can quote a hadith or some authentic statement, it would be very helpful.
Jazak Allah Khair to all in advance.
