Would you accept the demands of dowry if you were Aalia's parents?

Hey everyone!

so following today's episode, its clear just how greedy zeeshan's parents are... to be honest, seeing zain and aaliya's closeness I thought zeeshan's mother wouldn't be too happy about it and would make a big deal about it, but surprisingly that was the least of her concerns, she just wanted dowry.

What would u do if u were in aalia's parents place? would u fulfil the demand thinking its common in marriages or would u turn down the rishta?

personally, I am against dowry, because I feel the origin of dowry back in the days in Islam was mainly items of necessity... but nowadays every household has the items of necessity so there isn't any need for giving such big amounts of dowry especially in terms of Lakhs...its a bit too much. I feel people fulfil their greedy demands in the name of dowry but in fact its not really dowry but jus greed. plus in Islam, its required that the men give "gift" (dowry) to their women... but even that shouldn't be too big...

if I was aalia's parents, I would think twice considering they aren't so rich to fulfil this demand. secondly, u can jus tell how greedy zeeshan's parents are, what guarantee is there that post marriage they won't ask for more money? I really hope zain somehow breaks aalia/zeeshan's rishta and I think he will maybe thts y aalia will hate zain even more.

The answer is no..however here there was kind of a twist where they mentioned clothes and jewellery and furniture were for Aliya's comfort. If that was indeed and greed was not the motive then maybe

To be honest even then I don't agree and I expect all this from my would be husband anyway unless the bride herself insists that she'll bring these things with her upon her marriage...

my answer would be NO.

Reasons:

These people don't want Aliyah as a wife for their son, what they want is to take as much money as they can from Aliya's parents. Otherwise Zeeshans' mom would have been bothered seeing her almost to be son's wife close to a guy in the kitchen

* Also in Islam there is no such thing as asking dowry from the bride's family because the groom and his family are obliged to do it. Keeping in mind the mahr should be something believable of course you can't ask for an impossible amount of money.

Giving the bride or groom a gift is one thing, but demanding a dowry from the girl's family, even under the pretense of her comforts is not permitted in Islam.

Zeeshan's family was super greedy. Ad I was surprised to see Zeeshan tell his mother to up the asking price by 10 lakhs 😡 I thought he was a nice guy...seems something is fishy about him after all.
