Should traditional marriage be scrapped and be replaced with only white wedding? Imagine a place in Nigeria still has as it's price for traditional marriage close to one million!!! Chei see exploitation

Traditional marriages should be held in higher regard over white weddings.

White weddings are not our culture and are a good example of post-colonial mentality inflicting our African minds.
Traditional weddings in pre-colonial times involved presentation of gifts from the man's family to the woman's. The advent of colonialism changed those gifts to money. In many places money and gifts.

A family that asks for 1 million naira should be able to refund you the same amount if their daughter does not meet your expectations.

In a perfect world things would be done like the white people: A and B meet, fall in love, get married then get divorced. Who wins? The society!
