Brilio.net - Dowry is one of the important components in marriage . Usually, dowry is the main concern because it is considered as an indicator of the financial ability of the groom. In many cultures, dowry is a symbol of commitment and responsibility.
The high value of the dowry can be seen as a reflection of wealth or material ability which is often considered a measure of social status or financial success. However, if the dowry is too high, then the couple's marriage will certainly be in the spotlight. Just like the marriage between Gerry and Syifa, whose dowry amount is fantastic.
In the upload shared by the TikTok account @iisyunerli08, it appears that the ijab kabul moment is taking place indoors. The decoration is simple but luxurious, especially the golden yellow lighting. The bride and groom are wearing blue wedding attire.

It is known that Gerry and Syifa are a couple from Banten. However, what became the highlight of their marriage was the moment of mentioning the dowry in their ijab kabul. Not half-heartedly, Gerry was able to give a dowry of Rp1 billion.
"I marry you to my daughter named Syifa Binti Zainuddin with a cash dowry of IDR 1 billion," said the marriage guardian as quoted by brilio.net from the account @iisyunerli08 on Sunday (1/9).
Apparently not only Rp1 billion, Gerry also gave assets in the form of several hectares of gardens. Among them are 1 hectare of oil palm plantation and one hectare of clove plantation which are certainly very productive.
Not only that, there are still 60 rented doors with 120 windows that Gerry presented to his wife. Hearing this, Gerry only seemed to smile while waiting for his turn to receive the marriage from the guardian.

"I accept the marriage and the marriage of Syifa, daughter of Mr. Zainuddin, with a dowry of 1 billion rupiah in cash, one hectare of oil palm plantation, 1 hectare of clove plantation, 60 rented houses and 120 windows paid in cash," said Gerry smoothly in one breath.
After that, the guardian asked the witnesses sitting around. All agreed to answer valid and immediately said Alhamdulillah. Both Gerry and Syifa immediately showed a smile of relief because the two of them officially became husband and wife.
Basically, Islam itself does not specifically regulate the amount of dowry that men must give to women. However, in the hadith it is stated that, "Indeed, among the blessings of a woman are when it comes to facilitating her marriage proposal, her dowry, and also her womb." (Musnad Ahmad, no. 25116).

The video then went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Many praised Gerry's seriousness in showing his love. Not a few also questioned the amount of dowry mentioned during the ijab qabul.
" The best dowry is one that does not demean women and does not burden men, " said the account @ade.
"In fact, there's no need to mention it anymore, just answer that the dowry was paid in cash ," wrote the account @anun
" Suddenly the women imagined... when will a man marry me with a dowry like this, " said the account @andri.
" Masha Allah, he didn't hold back in using all his possessions as a dowry. I really appreciate it, bro. I hope you and I will be together until death do us part, " commented the account @dpurple2103.
