The answer

Facilitating marriage by not exaggerating dowries and wedding expenses is commendable and blessed for the couple. It helps young people maintain chastity, and doing otherwise is extravagance and forbidden by Islamic law. As for vows concerning permissible acts, one is not obliged to fulfill them. Rather, the one who made the vow has the choice to either perform the act or abandon it, with the obligation of offering an expiation for an oath.
