The initial survey was taken through direct information from the Head of the Religious Affairs Office (KUA) in the local sub-district, that the KUA had input data on marriage events as mentioned above. Dowry should be in the form of a materialistic item and can be used by the wife if it is in difficult circumstances.

Death is a definite thing and not a personal obligation (fardu 'ain) of the wife in its management but is included in the category of fardu kifayah.
