In the name of BRIDE PRICE african women are enslaved into marriages even if they are perilous. Some are even bethroted @ the early age of 3 of which i think its abnormal and unlawful. What if BRIDE PRICE is stopped? Would there b any side effect on both couples or their parents? i don't know how you see it cause we have differnt way of reasoning but share your own view.

Should African men stop marrying?

If you can't pay pride price then don't get married at all. No be by force.

It should be abolished because white people are not doing it. If it was part of white culture now, you inferior beings would have jumped at the idea because it is from obodo oyibo.

If you dont like the idea of brideprice then why are you dating from somewhere that requires brideprice.

The s.tupidity of some thread starters is beginning to get on my nerves.
