oga pls wat u do u mean by legally married? Afta d bride price has been paid tnks

Is bride price the money you pay to buy a wife?
If yes, it is illegal to purchase another human being.

But if bride price is just a symbolic gesture to signify marriage
such as wedding ring. Then it doesn't matter whether a man is willing to
accept it back or not.

abike12:
why not just send someone to enter their house and drop it on the table?

Must the Bride Pride be returned... After all, the payer is not willing to collect it back, at least, according to the story

There are no consequences for courageous and enlightened people.
It is the superstitious nature of an average African that makes
them slaves to oppressive cultures.

Again, you miss the point, a human(babies included) is not a property
to be owned.
I admit that unenlightened people are hysterical about "consequence" to
the point that they sacrifice their lives happiness for oppressive culture.

There is a clear difference between been civilised and going to school.
Being a professor or PhD holder does not excuse someone from holding
archaic and superstitious believes.

I remember when Stella died and her kinsman were threatening OBJ
with lethal consequence if he refuse to return her corpse. OBJ went
ahead and nothing happened. If he was one of those lilly-livered men,
he would have been forced to abide by useless cultural norms.

I still remember a local story of a commissioner who lost her very young husband, if
she were a nobody, she would have been forced to drink "corpse water" to
prove her innocence. But on sighting her with her security details, none of the
elders could raise the issue of shaving and drinking filthy water.

You either choose to be bound by culture or not.
