| Summary: | The custom of dowry which has been widespread in the Indian sub-continent is one of
the major reasons for domestic violence against women. Moreover, due to dowry system
and gender-based inequality, this region kills thousands of women each year according
to the international human rights organization. The anti-dowry law was added to the
Indian criminal act in 1961, Bangladesh in 1980, and Pakistan in 1976. Nevertheless the
dowry custom is still wide spreading extensively. This study aims to propose the
solutions for dowry custom in Indian sub-continent based on maqasid al-shariah. |
