Mehrosh Shaikh asked 3 years ago
Salam,
I was getting married to a boy in 2020 and I had asked for bari which includes ‘lehenga’ ONLY (No jewelry or designer thing) just a wedding dress. And I did not ask for anything else apart from clothes because it was my desire to look good on the wedding day which was termed as demand by the family of the boy
But the mother of the boy said that I am demanding and I am not a nice girl and started accusing and called me materialistic just because I asked for wedding clothes.
And they called off the marriage.
After 3 years
Again I am in contact with the same boy and we want to get married, but the mother of the boy is again giving me the title of materialistic and meanwhile getting the proposals of rich girls for her son (I belong from a very humble background) she is even ready for a sunni girl because she is very wealthy.
According to Islam and Allah does a girl has a right to ask for her wedding clothes?
