Furir Bari Iftari

Furir Bari Iftari is the Bengali tradition among Bengali Muslims in the Sylhet region of giving Iftar (the fast-breaking evening meal) to the household of one's daughter's in-laws during the month of Ramadan.

[4][5] There have been incidents where a daughter's husband and in-laws have allegedly tortured her, driven her to suicide, or killed her, if her father has not given generously to them.

[6][7][8] Some commentators have criticized the custom as a superstition or an evil practice because it can be a mental, financial and social burden on a father who is poor.

[9][10] In 2023 UNESCO added the iftar tradition of muslims to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
