Abstract
Dower is a gift presented to the bride from bridegroom at the time of marriage. This is a token from a husband to his wife which shows that he will continue his services and gifts to his wife in future also. Moreover, he will also be responsible for her needs of food and cloth. Some people, who say that dower is a return of something or service, it is wrong, because dower is not a cost of women but it is for the increase of social status of a women. In Pakistani societies payment of dower is very rare. Commonly it is considered as a tradition to write only. At the time of marriage ceremony it is usually not paid, but it is considered obligatory and compulsory at the time of separation by means of divorce. This misunderstanding is occurred due to the ignorance of the Holy Quran. In the following article all the problems related to dower are explained comprehensively in the light of Holy Quran.
