Is the mahr (dowry) required in marriage?

Short answer

Yes. The Quran commands giving women their dowries as a gift (4:4). It belongs to the wife, and there is no fixed amount. It can be small or large by agreement, and the best is what is easy and sincere.

Evidence

Quran

وَءَاتُوا۟ ٱلنِّسَآءَ صَدُقَٰتِهِنَّ نِحْلَةًۭ ۚ فَإِن طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَن شَىْءٍۢ مِّنْهُ نَفْسًۭا فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيٓـًۭٔا مَّرِيٓـًۭٔا ﴿٤﴾

مهر زنان را به طيب خاطر به آنها بدهيد. و اگر پاره‌اى از آن را به رضايت به شما بخشيدند بگيريد كه خوش و گوارايتان خواهد بود.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
