Assalamu alaikum,

Actually it is quite bad in teh Arab countries as well. One Yemeni brother told me that many women are going to the qadis and complaining that their fathers are not getting them married and they are getting old. At first I thought I misunderstood and I thought he meant the women were being forced to marry who they did not like. Then the brother explained to me that since the fathers of the girls were demanding huge mahrs (which the guys were not able to provide) the girls remained unmarried.
