Can A Lady Pay The Bride Price? by TheDefender: 2:50pm On Aug 23, 2012
It is normal for a man to pay the bride price before getting married, what in a situation whereby the man is not bouyant enough to pay the bride price and the lady is very rich, can the lady help the man to pay or it is uncultured that way?

It is an insult for a man, to ask a lady or expect her to pay her own dowry, no matter how rich she may be. What kind of shameless "boys" are parading as men these days? If you don't have money for her dowry, that already shows you don't have money to take care of her, and what you should reasonable do without waiting for anyone to kickstart your brain, is to shelve your marriage plans.

What nonsense!

Nice! I love this. am also thinking this is wrong but some people are still doing it. They will say it is love and the woman won't count it to be anything.

For your information, dowry is paid by the woman or her family. Check your dictionary if in doubt....

I have read even in newspapers where writers mistake dowry for bride price.

What is common between Dowry and Bride Price?

Both are payments, monetary or in kind, or both, made for marriage rites purposes.

What is the difference between Dowry and Bride Price?

Bride Price is an amount of money or property paid by the man (bridegroom or groom) or his family to the family of the woman (bride) upon the marriage of the woman to the man.

Dowry refers to property or money brought by a bride [or her family] to her husband on their marriage.

Some cultures simultaneously practice both.

Re: Can A Lady Pay The Bride Price? by tashanja(m): 2:35pm On Aug 27, 2012
^^^^Well, I guess then you'll still have to pay bride price, though an Asian lady is likely to be more hard working and ready to contribute materially than a 9ja sister; who is more self centred, veracious and wouldn't waste any time chopping you down to your bare bones like the infamous piranha fish.
