There are different wedding traditions which are observed by prospective couples across the world, while some are pretty simple, straight forward and cost nothing, others can be complex, expensive and deeply involving too. In Nigeria and most African countries, the most important tradition of all is “the bride price” a wedding tradition observed according to the customs and norms of the bride’s family. Every culture has different process of paying the bride price but every tradition serves the common interest of the bride and her family.www.punchng.com/entertainment/dreamweddings/when-the-bride-price-is-too-high-for-him-to-pay/ |

samflexxy:I disagree. That's not a criteria; if divorce will happen, it will. No matter how much the man spent on pride price,once the marriage becomes opposite of what he contracted for, he can divorce her. 55 Likes 1 Share |

The poster above me needs a good dose of ggrinlavin... To be taken twice daily. ** @Op, this bride price issue plus the copy-cat attitude of Nigerians who feel that having an extravagant wedding way above their means is the way to go, are some of the reasons why some matured ladies will remain in their fathers house for years... 6 Likes |

samflexxy:That's so not true! In fact, if the bride price is that expensive, the wife is obviously going to be like a "trophy" finally acquired. She'll even be treated any how. Women are not meant to be sold. 6 Likes |

A girl that truly loves me will not come from where the bride price is too high. But There's a shortcut sha..... Nope, It is not getting her pregnant. All these villages that collect heaven and earth in the name of bride price have the one that are the basics. They are the ones that are compulsory. Ask the bride(if she's a good material)the ones that are compulsory and do them. When her family make any other unnecessary demand, tell them that you ain't giving them anything, react as if u are angry and tell them that you ain't marrying again. And watch the speed the girl go take rush go enter unah motor. Worked for a friend at Anambra. The guy threatened to cancel the marriage and the family were the ones begging for peace. 4 Likes |

Tallesty1: Well, prolly due to my western exposure, I don't understand the need for exorbitant BPs. I understand, if there's a mutual agreement for symbolic exchange...which in this case, would be money. Value vs Value. The Americans don't. It's all about mutuality. It is this bureaucracy that's a major factor why we have more singles today. Times are changing. The world's going through this craze for materialistic overdrives. It therefore adds that if you don't "have", marriage is not for you. Those who manage to have now become scared that some woman would pop out from no where and chop them clean. Talk about dead locks.
