Haba!! White boy ke?

Why can't I go with a black guy and refuse a price? SMH!



All "our" things might as well remain the same. How about we go back to practising African Traditional Religion instead of worshipping the white man's Jesus?

There are some things we should try and do away with.
Can you imagine how many genuine suitors have been turned away because they couldn't afford everything on their in-laws' list?

Unless you're referring to mail order brides, which is rare these days. I've never heard of anyone paying bride price in the US. Over here it's customary that the bride's family pays for the wedding.

Americans have their own culture, so do the Europeans, so what the heck exactly is the aim of this thread? What do you mean do white people pay bride price? How much is the bride price that you are stabbing yourself all over with many pains? undecided

The one that shocked me recently involved a priest.

He was telling the youths how they shouldn't discriminate against Osus. They asked him if he would let an Osu marry his sis. That was the end of the matter!!

Same people will go to church oh! Deceiving themselves.

Re: Do White People Pay Bride Price? by Serpentine(f): 5:27pm On Mar 21, 2012
We don't pay bride price in the UK. In the past, the bride used to have a dowery she took to her marriage, this was money and goods from her parents to her husband. If the marriage didn't go ahead or the couple split up, it was expected that the dowery was returned to her parents.

In more recent centuries, the tradition has been that the man presents the bride with a diamond ring on proposing, which should represent approx. 3 months of his income. Traditionally, the bride's parents paid for the wedding, but nowadays, it is more common for the costs to be split among the couple and their families. Most white women here in the UK would be horified at the idea of their father selling her to a husband as it implies she is property.

if you can't pay the bride price, then you cannot take care of your wife and kids. This is our culture, if you do not like it, go and marry a white lady.
