Before marrying your daughters , Educate them. teach them the importance of financial independence so they never have to suffer in silence or depend on anyone.
Many women enter marriages carrying the burden of āJahiaz ā only to spend years hearing taunts about what they did or didnāt bring from their parentsā home. Some are made to feel guilty for asking for basic necessities. And some are discouraged from earning their own income because it is seen as a threat to a manās so called pride rather than a contribution to the familyās wellbeing.
This video highlights, in a humorous way, a very real and painful reality of our society ājahaizā(dowry). that how after marriage many girls face subtle taunts by their husbands and often in-laws especially when they ask for something thats their basic right or necessity. Theyāre often told, āTum yeh jahaiz mein le aatiā or āTumhare maa baap ne yeh kyun nahin diya?ā
Think about that for a moment.
A woman leaves behind her home, her family, her comfort zone, and starts a completely new chapter of life. Yet instead of being appreciated and respected, many are made to feel small because of what they did or didnāt bring from their parentsā house.
The saddest part is that this mindset has become so normalized that many people no longer question it.
Islam, on the other hand, empowers women in a beautiful way. A woman is not required to bring household items or wealth into a marriage. In fact, Islam places the financial responsibility on the husband and gives the woman her right to Haq Mehr. Somewhere along the way, we twisted these values and turned marriage into a transaction where women are expected to arrive with ACs, washing machines, furniture, and endless gifts in the name of ātradition.ā
And the issue doesnāt end there.
Many women who want to earn, contribute, or become financially independent are discouraged and considered difficult because some men view it as an attack on their ego or āhonor.ā
Letās end this culture of dowry, and unnecessary expectations.
