Q3: Is the man solely responsible for meeting the needs of marriage, and should the wife's family impose conditions?
A3: The default ruling is that the mahr is obligatory upon the husband according to the agreement between them, and anything beyond that is according to their mutual consent, provided that it is in accordance with the pure Shari'ah; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): and his saying: Sunan Abi Dawud 2139Sahih (Al-Albani) And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Muslims are bound by their conditions
المسلمون على شروطهمThe condition worthier to be fulfilled by you is the one by which you made the private parts (of your wife) lawful (for you).
إن أحق الشروط أن توفوا به ما استحللتم به الفروج
