sexymoma: Cos We Assume We Aren't Giving Out Our Daughter For Money.

But It Biblical To Accept Bride Price.

Mind giving references?

aryzgreat:

Oh! Shut it! Wot is d fraction of d bride price to d owambe party d groom throws? U guys are hypocrite! Bride price of 1000 compared to 1million naira owambe.

And who told you its the groom that pays for the party? Traditionally, its the bride family that is hosting the grooms people. But nowadays, the party is a collabo between both families to save cost.

Omooba77: Most of the wedding I have attended in Yoruba land; including mine, why do wife's family return the bride price saying they are not selling their daughter. Is it right?

You people should keep returning it nau
That's why the man will go on and marry two three and 4 wives in Yorubaland because all of them will return the bride price and he will keep marrying
Thinking that life is that easy
We don't return jack where I come from
After he has paid that money,he knows to stick to that one wife because there is no money to marry another
That is the our strategy to enshrine monogamy
If you sweat and marry nwada Mbaise,who born you to marry another
Where will you find the money?
You people should stop returning the bride price,you need to increase it sef and add prospectus list and stop enabling polygamy
Make it harder for the man
Let them show their manhood

no amt of bride price can stop me from putting my pr$ck inside another baby mama. oh wait, there's no bride price for baby mamas

Just as we place premium on bride price, (which signifies that the man is the provider), the oyibos place emphasis on engagement rings. Hence, there is nothing wrong with collecting bride price.

Please do the 'Igbokwes' return bride price?

So she can leave your house whenever she gets tired of you!

aryzgreat: In igbo culture, returning bride price means marruage annulment. If u think collecting bride price means selling ur daughter as many are insinuating, then ur ladies are so cheap to be sold for 1000 naira. Do u also return d rice u ate? D items d groom brought? Bride price is symbolic and is returned when marriage hits d rock.

My town bride price is 1500, if u call dat selling of daughter then u r a wretched and poor creature.

Gbam!

funnyx: Retuning the bride price to the groom or groom's family is not a Yoruba culture, it's an individual decision.

Since it is widespread, it has become Yoruba culture. Remember that culture is not static, it changes with time. However, mine was handed over to my wife, that is following Islamic culture not Yoruba

You're lady so stop being uncouth.

chauvinist....... So because she is a lady, she mustn't have a say?......

and you think you aren't cursed..... Not even the church can help you out....... Just wait till your pastor tells your kids that "there is nothing we can do, ask your father"

Returning the Bride price to me is not too cool. It's like one is not believing God for a smooth marriage. Faith should be attached to it. My wife's family sowed mine in the Church rather than returning it.

striker9: Don't derail the thread with tribal utterances.

With the volatile nature of NL when it comes to tribal issues, you should know that the best you can get of this post is nothing but tribal rantings,
Issues with no tribal affiliations get tribalised on NL.

I feel the disintegration of Nigeria may not be geographical as expected by many, it's little things like this that shows the broken nation.

Please let's watch our opinions as concerning tribal disparity, we don't want to share the same story with what happened in Rwanda years back.

Anyone can return the bride price of his daughter, if He wishes. It's not a tribal thing.

Whether biblical or not, I don't know, but I know it's not all your marriage customs are.

Let's go easy on the biblical aspect too

weird way of looking at uit... anoda man's sin

Toks2008: Bride price according to the bible must not be more than 50sheckels of silver which is about 15usd in today's monetary term. This is a punishment for molestation and there is no where in the entire bible where we are instructed to pay MONATARY bride price if molestation is not involved.

The only normal bride price that came from Abraham to Rebekah was in gift items and not money in any form.

furthermore,bride price are to be paid on virgins alone by the man who defiles them.Deuteronomy 22:28-29 states that "If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered,then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.

The issue of collecting a stipulated amount of money nowadays is not biblical and its borne out of greed.

But for the fact that most men of nowadays are guilty of violating a lady at one time or the other in our lives, i would suggest that any lady that is not a virgin must not even have any form of bride price paid so i guess we all are paying for another man's sins.

doesnt change the fact dat ur father failed in life.

Please like how much do Igbo people collect as bride price? Because my igbo friend was saying that because her dad is a christain, her own would be like 750000 naira. Is it usually more? That's suicidal. Where wil he get such money....poor groom. For Yorubas in my place, the money is given to the couple or better still back to the husband(groom) and he is told to take care of their daughter with the money. Yoruba bride price in my place is about 5000-10000 naira

You should know polygamy is common among the yoruba muslim although some few Christians practise it too. By the way, what if Adenuga's son marries the most expensive mbaise girl from your village? Does that stop him from taking another wife? He could in fact marry all he mbaise girls in your village with your ludicrous bride price. Your reasoning is laughable! So its bride price that keeps a marriage in your culture? Well its your culture, I won't judge you.

unmask: all yoruba weddings I have attended the groom and brides family jointly take care of entertainment.......

Pls tell them ooo. They know nothing and yet choose to be ignorant.

segunrot: Returning the Bride price to me is not too cool. It's like one is not believing God for a smooth marriage. Faith should be attached to it. My wife's family sowed mine in the Church rather than returning it.

Why should you enter a marriage contract believing that it is doomed from the onset? When they return it, they do it by explaining why they had to.

You can also get creative by sowing yours in the church, or just spend it on your new bride.

Chaleeee: If I hear say Igbo man return the money!!!!!! Yorubas do not sell their children unlike the igbos. From Yoruba weddings I have witnessed, the average bride price is around N10,000 coupled with yam, fruits and other little things.

My Igbo neighbor has 5 girls and he's always saying he's sending them to sch so that he can use their bride price to buy land and build a new house. The price range can be ridiculous at times.... so families even ask for cars and landed properties in choice areas. Marriage shd be a thing of joy, not a money making avenue

STOPIIIIT !

The Indian Government abolished it in 1961 but till date, they still practice that babaric thing
