Not at all. Islam did not fix dowry. It can be less or more, the bride is required to considerate.


Halogenonimisi:
It's not like that, the dowry is rather given to her alone as it's for her alone and her right, Islam has already given the least amount to be paid, but can be increased if the man is capable but the lady can ask for something else provided is worth that amount or more than that.

When you are giving out your daughter...you go give am out for free, eh?


Shouldn't it be the daughter's choice? Girls are not the belongings of their parents once they become adults. They should be allowed to decide who they should marry without an unnecessary archaic monetary transaction as if they're being traded out like slaves.

Hmmm...So as a Christian, I cannot just decide to do an Islamic marriage even with an Islamic bride.

If it's the case it's for the bride to convert na.

Isn't the bride that fixes her own dowry? Some scholars sha undecided
yeah,the scholar didn't said the bride can't fix it on her own,dowry could be anything worthy and also legal to the bride,but that amount is the equivalent accepted price,one can pay more than that...
Re: Dowry For Islamic Marriage In Nigeria Now N13,438 – Cleric by Sterope(f): 12:09pm On Mar 27, 2019
There is no such thing as equivalent accepted price. The article said the scholar said that the amount is the official acceptable fee.

Every muslim bride has the discretion to fix her own Mahr. If it is an ijma, it should be stated clearly that it is not binding on anyone not that it is the official acceptable amount for dowry.

An Islamic cleric, Dr. Agaka, who spoke during his weekly Islamic radio programme in Ilorin disclosed that dowry for Islamic marriage in Nigeria now N13,438. The former Scholar with School for Arabic Studies and Bayero University Kano who further stated that it was permissible for wealthy husbands to pay amounts higher than the official acceptable fee, said the marriage would become invalid and illegal without the dowry being paid.

The Islamic cleric who disclosed that the dowry to be paid in lslamic marriage in Nigeria is now N13, 438,  added that prospective husbands could use cows, parcels of land, gold and other valuables as payment of dowry for their intended wives.

“The dowry in Islam is paid by the man to his wife-to-be as an honour and respect given to her to show his sincerity and commitment to the marriage which also signifies sense of responsibility and obligation" he said.

IMAliyu:

The minimum varies between countries.
The clerics come to a consensus on the minimum amount, a single cleric can't decide that on his own. If I'm not mistaken.

From d story, no information was provided as to when clerics held a meeting to decide an upward review of dowry. If d minimum varies between countries, then it means its a few men who just try to decide what others should do based on their own whims
Re: Dowry For Islamic Marriage In Nigeria Now N13,438 – Cleric by lexy2014: 2:32pm On Mar 27, 2019
Halogenonimisi:
the bride price is a standard and only increases with an increase in the value of money.
besides the official standard is not in Nigeria currency but rather Saudi Arabian currency.

That's interesting cos d cleric talked about dowry. Is dowry d same thing as bride price? But again, does a cleric just get up& decree 4 all Muslims cos he didn't even state y d dowry has increased
