Examining the conditions of dowry and its payment based on current rate in Iranian and Egyptian laws

A comparative study of the family law in Islamic countries such as Iran and Egypt, considering the differences between religions, is necessary to obtain the links and differences that exist to achieve the best rules in the current era and can prevent the penetration of abnormal Western rules in Islamic countries. Dowry is one of the important issues of family law that it's significant cannot be ignored in society, and it should be carefully addressed and its rulings examined. One of the cases that can be studied in this field is the study of the necessary conditions for dowry and its payment. In this research, we evaluated it in Iranian law, which is based on Imami jurisprudence, and Egyptian law, which is in accordance with Hanafi jurisprudence, to determine its dimensions. By studying jurisprudence and the laws in the rules of these two countries, the aim of this study is to find out what are the conditions of the dowry payment and whether it is possible to pay it in current rate in Iran and Egypt according to the legal principles of these countries and accepted jurisprudential teachings. What are its conditions and what are its differences and similarities? By examining the various reasons, it seems that we should accept the dowry payment based on current rate in Iranian and Egyptian laws despite the similarities and differences which is existed in them. Although in Egyptian laws unlike the Iranian laws have not explicitly mentioned in it, but for some reason it can be discussed.
