Obligation of Bride Price

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab ruled that the bride-price is obligatory for a woman who has been married and consummated the marriage.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Said ibn al-Musayyab that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab decided about the woman who was married by a man and the marriage had been consummated, that the bride-price was obligatory.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، قَضَى فِي الْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَهَا الرَّجُلُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا أُرْخِيَتِ السُّتُورُ فَقَدْ وَجَبَ الصَّدَاقُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the obligation of bride price in marriage. According to Umar ibn al-Khattab, it is obligatory for a man to pay a bride price when he marries a woman and consummates the marriage. The bride price is an important part of Islamic law as it serves as financial protection for women in case of divorce or death of her husband. It also serves as an acknowledgement that she has entered into a contract with her husband and should be respected accordingly. This hadith teaches us about the importance of respecting contracts and honoring our commitments even after they have been fulfilled. It also reminds us that we should always strive to protect those who are vulnerable in society such as women by providing them with financial security through laws such as this one.
