Its value is determined in the initial agreement prior to the reading of Fatiha. In many societies, the value of dowry is linked to the economic level of the groom’s family. The Tlemceni community has been known to exaggerate the amount of dowry required for marriage, which has led to much debate and controversy among this community member. So what is the cultural background behind the over-dowry in the Tlemceni community? We will try to answer this important question in this research.}, number={2}
