Does the man (fiancée) get a receipt for his expenses or rather, would the family be issuing the man a receipt for this? What're the terms and conditions attached to the return policy? Assuming the goods are damaged or past their sell-by-date? Or can he 'exchange' one for the other? |

WHERE IN IGBO LAND abeg? As much as I agree that some of the items are regular in Igbo dowry; some others are either over-exaggerated or shouldn't be in the list out-rightly. FACTS ABOUT IGBO DOWRY (MARRIAGE LIST) (1) Most items on the list are subject to negotiation which usually results to downward review. (2) It is never compulsory that the groom completes all items on the list before taking his wife. (3) Some items are compulsory while majority are optional. (4) There is no standardised marriage list across Igboland; communities/kindred determine theirs. (I am still going to add some more.) By the way, did we beg any of you to come and marry our dotas? Onye sha ala-Owere ariya mma, ngwa ya kwara li! (Person wey talk say, Owerri-land no sweet, make him pack and go!) I will even be happier if a special list that triples this one is prepared for ndi nri-mmanu and their neighbours. They will do anything to ensure that they marry our clean, amiable, sweet daughters. Dem no dey marry their people again. 7 Likes |
