SUMMARY
The subject of my thesis
is dowry (marriage setlement) according to Sunnah (practies and rules derived
from the Prophet’s own habits and words). Dowry is a kind of property or Money
given by the husband upon marriage. The main purpose of dowry is to incriase
the respect towards woman
The amount of dowry is
decided by both parners just before or at the marriage ceremony. There are two
possibilities for deliver or payment of dowry. First, mehr-i muaccel,
part of wife’s dowry paid by husband
just upon marriage. If he does not pay this kind of dowry, he can not force the
wife to cosummate the marriage. Second, mehr-i müeccel, partf of
dowry paid by the husband in case of divorce or widowhood.
In Christianity, women
had to collect Money and property in order to attract man to herself for
marriage. This was called ‘drahoma’. This is just opposite of the Islamic
rules.
Dowry can be studied in
two topcs according to its nature.
1. Mehr-i musemmâ; the
amount of dowry is decided on aggrement by both partners.
2. Mehr-i misil; the
amount of dowry is determined by society’s attitude (like 60 g or 80 g gold
necklace, etc.)
The minimum amount of
dowry 10 dirhem (28g) of silver, which was approximately equal to the cost of
two sheep in the first ages of Islam.
Upon divorce, the
husband should pay all of the dowry to the wife if not given before. This
action is though of a kind of difficulty for divorcing.
The necessity of dowry
is laid down by both Quran and sayings of Prophet.
The amount of dowry that
will be given to the wife upon marriage is determined by the average amount
accepted in the society.
As a ruselt, I tried to
find out what a dowry is according to Islam and its sources, Quran and Sunnah.
You will find the different approaches and delicacies of dowry in the thesis.
