Assalamu alaykum
I purposefully put this question. This was my true experience here in Dubai. I went in a cab from Barsha to Satwa last month. I spoke to the Cab driver during the travel. Since, he was a senior person (Late 50s), I enquired his background. This muslim brother comes from Ottapalam, he's been living here for 30 years, I asked him why? Breed his family, who was always back home. I told him, he doesn't need to be here to do that. He told me he's got 2 daughters. why he must be here. He needs to marry them off properly. what is that marriage. He needs to give his daughters the basics of marriage, so that they are accepted in their new homes. How can you do that. *By paying dowry, by giving gold!!* I told him to find a suitable boy who is ready to accept the girl, without this pre-requisite. He said, he searched and found none. Is this the Islamic culture? HOW DO WE TAKE THIS FORWARD? We need to join together to annul this evil. We need to educate atleast the male youth to stay away from this, and state this is un-islamic and it will cause misery in his life and the here-after. If we could collect the proofs and start forwarding the compiled one to all our younger brothers and their family, it might atleast save one family from misery, and save them from the wrath. This could be a humble starting.

Repel (evil) with what is better; then the enmity between him and you will become as if it were your friend and intimate!
