Because yiu never get your own daughter and you are broke same time :

I don't agree with your submission that high bride price is the reason why so many are unmarried. When two people are in love and wants to stay together forever, they will find a way. I have seen men with 40k income getting married and men of 500k and are still single.

Bride price is a load test, if you fail on that, how can you run a family? The weight of a family makes bride price a child's play. If you can't pay 500k bride price, it is pregnancy that you can support? CS is almost 300 to 400k in an average hospital. School fees, house rent etc.

Brother live bride price alone, when I retire, I will go back to my village and double the money that youngmen are to pay as bride price. Perhaps marriage is too cheap these days, that is why people are taking it for granted.

Which tradition of money and slavery is that?

I don't agree with you. You have not seen ladies from this region...when you do then you will know their worries. When you say marriage is too cheap and that is why people take it for granted I bet you have not seen people that still got divorced after marrying at high cost.
