How Much Should Bride Price Be? by chidiezeh(m): 7:10am On Dec 21, 2015
Bride Price is both cultural and religious but it is
recklessly becoming a secular arrangement in the
society. While it is good for a man to pay bride rice
to marry his loved one, the condition and financial
onus attached to the obligation has kept many men
and women out of marriage.


“Some families are so bent on “trading” their
daughters in the name of culture to augment their
economic situation”, a frustrated young man has
said.

He has been in love for about six years with a girl
but his savings cannot get him a wife. He has to
quit the relationship and settle down with another
girl whose bride rice is reasonably low compared to
the first lady.

However, since he got married, God had given his
family four children while his ex-lover is yet to get
a man. How much should a bride price be?
It has been a serious topic of discussion among
young and adults. They want to get married but
BRIDE PRICE, the problem.

Today, there are families who place N2 million on
their daughters as Bride Price; in some cultures,
the more educated a girl is, the higher the Bride
Price. How much should Price Bride Be?

What is the worth of a woman that is ripe for
marriage? Can the present economic condition
sustain the huge bride price?

Be careful what you wish for, miss. That would even result to more divorce as there would be no peace in the marriage but torture, abuse and resentment on the man's part as the thought of forfeiting such huge chunk of his wealth lingers.

Women will have no peace in that marriage and be seen as possession, needless to mention the rapid increase of spinsters that would be affected if such rule comes into effect.

I dont wish that, just saying though. Bride price is 5naira in my side but it is sometimes increased depending on the girl's level of education.
