Is a girl who asks for a lower dowry better in religion, and should one have relinquished the right to the shabaka given the fiancé's insult and evasion of financial agreements?

The women with the least dowries are the most blessed. Marriage should be made easy. The sister who was engaged did the right thing by breaking off the engagement if she sensed negligence or deception from the suitor. Otherwise, it would have been better not to break it off if he was sincere and had a valid excuse. A Muslim appreciates the circumstances of their brothers.
