Talk:Dowry
From Academic Kids
History of this odd custom would be great if any experts would like to volunteer.
Mahr
In Islam, the groom has to pay a sum of money to the bride as part of the marriage terms i.e. the mahr. However, when comparing the definitions of dowry to bride price, it seems that mahr is closer in definition to bride price than to mahr. Or perhaps isn't it better for mahr to have its own page, rather than be redirected to dowry? --Aidfarh 07:49, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
