That will really make sense if parents will do away from selling their daughters to the husband.

We love each other, will it be a money thing before we can get married? No!

Nowadays yorubas don't collect bride price. In my family too, bride price is always returned in the presence of everybody present cos we are not been sold out. Best of luck enjoy your wife.

the bride price was supposed to be between you and your wife. Because it belong to her and she might request for another thing instead of money.

that's d kind of family we need now in Nigeria. bride price is a waste of resources
Re: Marriage Without Bride Price by Nobody: 11:04pm On May 17, 2015
Be happy! For some guys, they would have to be negotiating the bride price... It is an expense that they decided not to give you.

Dear house, I have been dating my girl for a while and we plan to get married. We did our introduction last month, and her family gave me a list. On the list[i][/i], they wrote (Bride Price - Nil) and that got me wondering if its possible to get married without paying bride price. Please I need reasonable contributions only. Thanx
Re: Marriage Without Bride Price by freeman67: 11:05pm On May 17, 2015
When I saw the topic of this thread my thought was that it'll be the only marriage I will hear of in Nigeria that after introduction they'll tell you to come tomorrow and carry ur wife without any other added issues/expenses except u want to throw party. Only for me to read that you were given a list which probably is the the reason why u will wait up to one more month then because nil was written for d space of bride price you feel you are not paying abi?
Where is it that they charge moni or any reasonable amount for bride price sef? It all about money spending which is done either through the list or ceremony....

my Brother, believe me, in situations like that you won't be going home with your wife alone....definitely, her younger sister or brother's school fees will be the pride price you pay. You might train your wive's sister or you renovate her fathers hauz. One is certain.
