Dower is an exclusive right of Muslim women to receive a sum of money from their husband before the marriage, at the time of marriage of at any point of time after the marriage. Dower enhances the security status of a Muslim wife in marriage but the Muslim wife is not entitled to receive dower under all circumstances.
