Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6:433
, the expenses of marriage. She does not burden her husband with a large mahr, much jewelry, and extravagance; rather, she comes to him in a modest state. There is blessing in that, and there is also love between the spouses. But if she burdens him with huge sums of money, he will hold her accountable for every mistake, saying, "I, and how am I to manage my money and bear debts, and then you do this?" So this becomes worse for the relationship between them. Yes, so this is part of the blessing: that he does not come to dislike her. Yes.
