Cultural Practice

The bride’s family is expected to give large amounts of cash, gold, household goods, or property to the groom. Originates from Hindu traditions and socio-economic pressures.

Difference From Deen

Islam requires mahr (bridal gift) to be given by the groom to the bride, not the other way around. Evidence: “And give the women their dowry (mahr) graciously.” — Qur’an 4:4
