I Am Exhausted by My Family's Pressure About the Dowry

My family's demands and pressure over the dowry are exhausting me. How can I help them focus on a good marriage rather than only the amount?

Believe me, this pressure exists in many homes. Tell your family that a good suitor is worth more than a high dowry. Many women married with modest dowries and built happier lives.

Sister, be patient and discuss it calmly. A dowry is a religious right, but it does not have to become the reason the entire proposal collapses.

We have the same problem in Qatar. In the end, mutual acceptance matters more than the number.
