Bride Price Different From Dowry? by opeano(m): 10:50pm On Aug 11, 2014 |
hello Nairalanders. I would av simply get google to answer this question for me. But due to the fact that d answer might b subjective to each culture. A friend of mine, Bayelsan, Female, during a discussion, she mentioned that Dowry is money paid to the Bride's family and Bride price is the bond money paid to the Bride herself. Is this true? And then, how is it in ur own culture |

Lovetinz: https://www.nairaland.com/896733/bride-price-dowry-difference-similarity. That thread got me more confused. Entirely the opposite of what i was told from the Horses mouth. Dowry paid to the Groom, while Bride price paid to the Bride! I will appreciate peeps to tell me how it operate in their culture. U can start from Urself |

Bride price is the money the groom pays to the bride's parents..... Dowry includes the money, stuff the bride goes with to the man's house. Sometimes, the dowry includes, pots, utensils, wrappers etc. Dowry is not paid to the husband |

Mynd44: Bride price is the money the groom pays to the bride's parents.....about Dowry, is the Money and stuffs from the Groom's pocket? Or the family of the bride equip her with all those? If its from the groom's pocket, isnt that double standard? As in, paying the bride's parent as well as paying the bride for the love you both shared |
