Assalaamoalaikum,
I'm new to this forum, and pardon me if this is not right place for discussion of such type of topics.
My parents arranged my nikah and I have paid Mahr/dowry at the the time of Nikah. Now I want to bring my wife home and consummate marriage. But my parents are expecting dowry/jahez/furniture from my wife’s family, and my family says Rasoolullah(may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have given such things to her daughter Fatima(may Allah be pleased with her) on her marriage. And this thing is delaying my marriage because her parents don’t have sufficient money for buying all those things.
How should I deal with this matter? I know asking dowry from wife is contrary to Islamic teaching but what should I do if my parents are not convinced?
My two young brothers live with my parents in a small two bedroom house, and I’m living in another city because I have a job here. After marriage, my parents want to take my wife with them to their home, and want to keep her with them in future. It will be hard for my wife to veil herself in front of my brothers, how should I deal if my parents don’t allow her to live with me?
I am getting older and I want to get married soon as Alhamdulillaah, I’m not facing any financial problem. Till now, I’m spending most of my salary on my parents, one reason for not letting me get married is fear of my parents that their son will spend all of his salary on his wife.
