QUESTION: In my culture when two want to get married, the man MUST pay a ‘maal’. Which is money that he has to pay to the girl’s family in order to marry her. Is this permissible? From our knowledge, this is haram. I want to get married to this man, but my parents say I can’t since he isn’t willing to pay a ‘maal’. Also, what should I do in this situation?
