المملكة: From 25 to 100 thousand riyals .. Violated opinions about the appropriate dowry for marriage

Opinions on the value of the appropriate dowry for marriage at the present time witnessed a remarkable variation, as estimates ranged between 25 thousand riyals to 100 thousand riyals.
A number of speakers attributed this difference to multiple factors, foremost of which is the high price of gold, the increase in the costs of marriage parties and the requirements for establishing married life.
Some saw that the relatively low amounts are the most appropriate under the current economic conditions, especially for young people with low incomes, as Muhammad Al -Marri suggested that the appropriate dowry range between 30 and 40 thousand riyals.
This explained that young people whose salaries range between 3 and 6 thousand riyals face large burdens of housing furnishing and the costs of the marriage ceremony, which may reach 100 thousand riyals.

A suitable dowry for marriage

Ahmed Ali, who saw that the appropriate dowry at the present time ranges between 30 and 35 thousand riyals, and Muhammad Al -Mutairi said that an amount between 35 and 40 thousand riyals is appropriate and constitutes a great motivation for young people to marry.
Muhammad Al -Hajri called for facilitation and facilitation, a foal proposal ranging between 25 and 40 thousand riyals, which may increase slightly to 45 thousand, warning of the insult to request high amounts such as 100 or 120 thousand riyals.
On the other hand, others considered that the amount of 50 thousand riyals represents a minimum or a reasonable value in light of the increase in the current expenses, as Salman Al -Nasser expected the appropriate dowry not less than 50 thousand riyals due to the increase in expenses in general.
Muhammad Al -Subaie saw that 50 thousand riyals is an appropriate amount, neither is it a few nor a lot, especially with the presence of young people who have not yet married, as Amer Al -Eid estimated the appropriate dowry between 40 and 50 thousand riyals, due to the high price of gold.
On the other hand, the opinion of the current costs justified a much higher dowry, as Sami Al -Naeem considered that the appropriate dowry today should not be less than 100 thousand riyals, indicating that this amount may only cover the basic cost in addition to other secondary matters related to marriage.
