Price of dowry articles has also been very cautiously assessed by the learned Judge Family Court and affirmed by the learned Appellate Court

8. It is custom in our country that parents do give dowry articles to their daughters merely as a token of love and symbol of honour and the petitioner has miserably been failed to bring on record anything from which it could be inferred that something contrary to the settled norms was happened in respondent’s case. The learned courts below already keeping in view the financial status of respondent’s parents decreed the dowry articles of ordinary nature, which are almost given to a bride even hailing from a family having average financial background. Alternate price of dowry articles has also been very cautiously assessed by the learned Judge Family Court and affirmed by the learned Appellate Court and this Court is not inclined to intervene with the concurrent findings of facts recorded by the learned courts below in its Constitutional jurisdiction. Reliance is placed on case reported as Muhammad Habib ..Vs.. Mst. Safia Bibi and others (2008 SCMR 1584).
