Is it possible to change the dowry that was vowed for the girl when she was young, which was a small amount, or must the vow be fulfilled?

The girl's family is not obliged to fulfill the vow because it is a vow concerning something they do not own. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There is no vow in disobedience, nor concerning what a person does not own." The Mahr (dowry) is the sole property of the woman.
