How do you mean you can't beat the dead line?
Bride price is not that expensive, it's the marital rites that are expensive. I'll advice you go ahead and do what you have to do to keep your baby, if your future mother inlaw is serious about kililng her own unborn grand child, it's unfortunate, but please, do not give her the chance of killing your baby.
Go ahead, look for money any how, even if it means borrowing, do what you should and keep your girl and your baby.

It sounds a little dodgy to me, since you would ideally want to get married before signs of the pregnancy start to show (if not already) so why the to be mother-in-law is blackmailing you for bride price in this day and age surpasses me.

It seems like it is a money issue, otherwise if you were willing to marry her daughter, I don't know why she'D put anything in the way.

You have to think of many things;

- What does your girlfriend want in all of this?

- DO you want to marry her?

- Can you afford the bride price (sum)

- Can you afford the bride price (if paid in installments - I know silly but if it's got to be done, )

- Will the M-I-L let you pay in installments

- Can you live with the idea of your beloved girlfriend having an abortion of your child

- Will you be forced to break up the relationship if the pregnancy is terminated/bride price is not paid


I need to know more.
This situation seems to have been made further unnecessarily complicated by the M-I-L, your best hope maybe to talk to her to reassure her that you intend to be responsible in whatever action you take and you have her daughter's best interest (which I hope you genuinely do).

Royal family my bakassi
is there anyone in Nigeria that's not from a royal family.
there's even a king with a kingdom in western Nigeria profiled on MSNBC driving buses in New York
Nonsense.

@ poster topup asked some smart questions.
I can understand why the mother would want you to come and marry the girl officially
It's still a shameful thing for a girl to be pregnant out of wedlock
but the threat of terminating her daughter's pregnancy is where I begin to question her sanity.
goodluck with that kain psychotic mother in law

@topup

my girl's mom is playing hard to convince

i spoke to her on phone, maybe i can come over to make my intensions known,

but she still demand dat both d bride price and marital rites to be perform at once

in otherwords no Installmental payment of anything

As for members of my family, they accept her (my girlfriend).

but her mom don't want to see reasons why that Abortion should be ruled-out of the issues

cos

1. the pregnancy is four months old

2. Her (my girlfriends) life is at stake here

But d so-called mother don't care about this reasons

my girlfriends movement has been restricted by her family, so she wouldn't be able to runaway from home

guyz i'm confused here,

if by 8th of september nothing is done, dat means i'm bidding bye-bye to my Unborn baby

at dis junction what would happen to my girlfriend and our relationship

we managed to build for Eight good solid years?

It shouldn't be that expensive since it's just pride you're paying for.

So what happened?

Did you pay?

Did she abort your baby?
Re: [b]my Girlfriend's Mom, She Is Insisting I Come And Pay For Her Pride Price[/b][color=#990000][/col by uchvic(m): 2:34pm On Sep 11, 2008
@sistawoman

I couldn't save my unborn just because i was financially unstable then.

my girl was brain-washed by her mom that she couldn't see reasons with me.

and now she called me to tell me how sorry she was to have aborted the pregnancy,

her mom is really and extremely glad that shame was wiped out of her eyes by the abortion her daugther did.

@poster
what i'm asking is this, as if the abortion cost her her life on the process, what do u guyz think would happen to me?

Anyway, ladies try and learn not to be a victim, coz most mother can toy with the life of their children regardless of the dangers and the feelings of their children.

Is it wise to continue with the relationship?

some would be asking what happen to the love i have for her?
well for me i'm kind of bitter inside and also feeling terribly hurt and confused

Guyz plz be sincere with me ok?
