Dower in Muslim Law is (1) Dowry (2) An obligation imposed upon the husband as a mark of respect for…

Mahr (dower) is a sum which the wife is entitled to receive from the husband as a mark of respect for her; in Abdul Kadir v. Salima (1886) Mahmood J. described it as consideration for the marriage, and it is a legal right of the wife enforceable as a debt. It is not dowry, which is property given in connection with the marriage to the bridegroom or his family, so statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct and the answer is "2, 3 and 4".
