Punch-up over dowry tarnishes mosque’s image, says official
An official from the Masjid Jamek Al-Khadijiah in Pantai Dalam, Kuala Lumpur has decried last Sunday’s scuffle over dowry which took place at the house of worship, for tarnishing the image of the mosque as a religious institution, especially in the eyes of non-Muslims.
Mosque administrator Shahril Abd Samat said that the incident certainly left an impact and made Masjid Jamek Al-Khadijiah more well-known, though perhaps for the wrong reason.
“Its impact is extensive, it may adversely affect how non-Muslims view (the mosque), as it is not just a simple matter and not about the dowry, but that it took place at a mosque.

Groom punched after failing to produce RM15k wang hantaran on wedding day
…
KUALA LUMPUR: A security guard’s wish to marry his sweetheart was dashed when he ended up being punched by a member of her family in an incident at the Masjid Jamek Al-Khadijiah, Pantai Dalam, on Saturday.
In the 3.15pm incident, the would-be-groom, 27, was punched as he wanted to leave the mosque.
This was because he was not allowed to continue to ‘akad nikah’ (solemnisation) ceremony due to the fact that he did not have RM15,000 ready for the ‘wang hantaran’, Kosmo reported today.
…
According to the report, the victim’s family had met with the woman’s family in a ‘merisik’ ceremony January and agreed on the RM15,000 demanded by the latter.
…
“During the merisik, the man’s family had asked if they could pay RM7,500 as the hantaran amount.
“However, the woman’s family shot down the request, and insisted on RM15,000,” a source was quoted as saying.
The man’s family finally relented to the amount, but asked if it could be delivered in installments, with RM10,000 to be paid before the wedding and the balance after, said the source.
It was understood that the man, who works as a security guard, only earns around RM1,500 a month.
The man is believed to have dated his fiancee, 21, for about three years before deciding to ask for her hand in marriage.
