Furir Bari Iftari
Furir Bari Iftari is the Bengali tradition among Bengali Muslims in the Sylhet region of giving Iftar to the household of one's daughter's in-laws during the month of Ramadan. The term comes from the Sylheti word Furi.
The practice is not obligatory in Islam, but in-laws have come to expect it. 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.
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. In 2023 UNESCO added the iftar tradition of muslims to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
