That is part of the contract if you are marrying in an islamic ceremony. Part of a contract that the husband gives the wife to be gold - shebka - and money as part of the contract of marriage - go ont he internet under Islamic Weddings or Egyptian marriage -etc...

I did not get my gold... But Medo said he will buy my gold once he starts working here.

We have a ongoing joke about this. I said honey im supplying the home and furniture and car and everything! He say's you want your gold? I said OH YEAH! He says then you will get your gold. Then I told him i want it all in white gold with dimonds

Oh i got 1 pound. I still have the pound that he gave me. And if he ever devorces me. I'm to be paid 100 pounds That is what it says on our marriage papers.

I got ten or twenty dollars, I don't remember which. I don't need the money.

I am not so sure this dowry thing is worth much anymore. My ex's cousin, he just divorced his american wife and went to jordan and married an arab girl...I saw their wedding contract and her said Dowry: Nothing.

There was an amount stated but i dont remember what it was, not thinking i ever got it whatever it was

1 USD . its all he had in his wallet lol! I still have that dollar too. I think if we get divorced, I'm supposed to get like 3000.00 or something. I forget now what the contract said. I didn't care what he gave me coz I thought it was silly to begin with...to be paid to marry someone. We had talked about it before hand so when he offered it to me, we both just laughed and continued on...

Sofyan and I laughed when the sheik asked us what we set the dowry at...I asked the sheik to omit it, but he wouldnt. so we made up some random numbers...Getting a bunch of gold on my wedding day was not important to me...Getting sofyan here, and starting a future together seemed a little more important....
