On one occasion, a citizen's father asked his daughter-in-law for a dowry of only 500 dirhams, and the father's behavior had a good effect on him. The husband and his family, who found him honoring them, and hoping for the morals of their son, instead of bragging about his money.”

His daughter, he said to his daughter’s husband, “We do not want anything from you, and you can take your wife now.” When asked about the reason for his behavior, he said, “We do not need anything, and we only ask him to protect and respect our daughter.”

He explained that the requirements of marriage force young people to obtain bank loans in excess of 500,000, in order to complete a marriage party. Once it ends, he will remain the only person affected by it.

Al-Hosani stated that good models bear upon themselves young people in general, and the man who applied for their daughter’s hand in particular, and their lives after marriage without consequences or debts, instead of thinking only about the value of the dowry, or how much the husband can pay for their daughter’s marriage, so that they can show off about it. In front of people, stressing that society is able to overcome these customs by encouraging families to leave them, and strengthening models from fathers who reduced the demands on the husbands of their daughters.

He noted that many people believe that fathers who reduce the costs of their daughters’ marriage, or one of them asks for a symbolic dowry, reduces her status, and does not love her joy and happiness, and this is a wrong understanding, because it violates the Sharia, the Messenger, peace be upon him, urged to reduce The dowry and the costs of marriage, he said: “The greatest of women is a blessing, the easiest is their provision,” indicating that people’s satisfaction is an unattainable goal.

Al-Hosani stressed that women in our true Islamic religion are very expensive, as they have a lofty position and great appreciation, and the dowry or high marriage costs do not increase or decrease this position.

He pointed out that there are obstacles and challenges facing the father or the family in facilitating marriage, as many fathers want to facilitate marriage matters, but they clash with the reality in which they live for fear of criticizing people.

He explained that some parents argue that it is the night of a lifetime and the joy of the couple once, in addition to “the neighbors and their cousins ​​have asked their daughter’s husband for these requests, and their daughter is no different from her.” The couple's account, their bank installments may expire and they have had one or two children.
