Imo women not getting married due to high cost of marriage, bride price, Hon. Kennedy Ibeh raises alarm
Hon. Kennedy Ibeh, representing Obowo State constituency in Imo State House of Assembly, has sponsored a bill to regulate the outrageous cost of customary marriages in Imo State.
Ibeh, while presenting the bill for the second reading on Wednesday during plenary, said that the practice predominant in Igboland, had caused so many of the young ladies to remain single. According to him, “a suitor coming to pay for a lady’s dowry may find it tasking to settle for the English wedding which again demands for more expenses.
Part of the prayers of this bill is that once a suitor pays and completes the bride price of a lady, a clearance certificate should be issued to the groom by the father of the bride, who will present same to the traditional ruler of the community for the final issuance of Customary Marriage Certificate (CMC) at the cost not exceeding N1000.
No customary marriage in the state including the final stage of Igbankwu ceremony shall exceed the sum of N180,000 with exclusion of the bride price which shall not exceed N80,000.
It is quite unfortunate that this practice has caused so many of our marriageable ladies to remain single and men apprehensive of taking the bold step. This is wrong and we must discourage it at all costs,” he said.
He added that if the bill was eventually passed into law in the State, it will correct the anomaly as it was obvious young men and women aren’t getting married because of the monetary involvement.

Why will they marry when they now share condom freely every weekend in Imo state.


Meanwhile this bill should be for Imo state house of assembly.


The bill has no business with house of reps......send it to Imo state assembly so that they can harmonise the traditional culture of imo state

You have a very sharp and very good memory.

I forgot condom was shared last week in Imo state. E get why.

It's now this one's eyes have cleared

If indeed the cost of marriage is much, the state governor should put a uniform regulations and reduce the cost.

That is what governance is all about

how is this d priority of house assembly

This is the kind of news you would love to carry on your head like bread. It's okay, but my question is
WHY DO YOU CARE?
