Islam Had Banned the groom to demand Dowry from the bride 1400 years back as Haraam.

What was Halal in a Nik’ah was only the Mahr to be paid by the groom to the bride.

How many Nik’ahs were solemnized with this Diktat, all these years the world over ? The answer is a small percentage only.

The world over Muslim brides and their parents are harrassed and blackmailed for dowry by the grooms and their parents. This will never stop.even by legislation, unless the people reform themselves.
