In Islam, there is no concept of demanding or paying dowry from the bride’s family to the groom’s family. In fact, Islam emphasizes that both parties should enter into a marriage contract with mutual agreement and consent, and that the bride should be treated with respect and kindness.

Regarding the practice of dowry, Islam does not prohibit it, but it discourages the extravagance and excessive demands often associated with dowry.

Therefore, Rashid uncle’s decision to break the taboo and not demand dowry from the bride’s family is in line with the Islamic values of simplicity, fairness, and respect for the bride’s dignity and rights.
