My Dear friends online, My name is Melissa Brown, And i live in Ontario, New York, I have to give this miraculous testimony, which is so unbelievable until now. I had a problem with my Ex husband 2 years ago, which lead to our break up. I was not myself again, i felt so empty inside me, my love and financial situation became worst, until a close friend of mine told me about a spell caster who helped her in the same problem too his name is Doctor SHEKIRI. I email the spell caster and i told him my problem and i did what he asked of me, to cut the long story short. Before i knew what was happen, less than two days my husband gave me a call and told me that he was coming back to me i was so happy to have him back to me. The most interesting part of the story is that am pregnant. Thanks to Doctor SHEKIRI for saving my marriage and for also saving others own too. Continue your good work, If you are interested to contact the great spell caster email address (doctorshekiri@outlook.com).OR YOU CAN CALL HIS CELL PHONE ON +2348058260257 You are the best among all the spell caster online that I know.

Dear house, I have been dating my girl for a while and we plan to get married. We did our introduction last month, and her family gave me a list. On the list[i][/i], they wrote (Bride Price - Nil) and that got me wondering if its possible to get married without paying bride price. Please I need reasonable contributions only. Thanx
man ask an elder.this ur internet marriage dey tire person. In my place, bride price is the only secrete In marriage. Bride price is being discussed by some men from bride village and some from groom side too. Bride price is not written on the pages of papers. Youths should learn from elders. Its a mockery of women to publish their worth in paper. Pls be guilded.

Of course most Yoruba family do dat. They are telling u dey are not selling their daughter. And if u don't take care of her dey can easily dissolve d marriage contract.

It's normal in south west And I hope u will b able to live up to their expectations.

GoodLuck.

Godforbid that marriage is a contract!!! Wat God has joined, let no man put assunder... So many people are guilty of that sin assunder.
Re: Marriage Without Bride Price by bbjummy: 8:35am On May 18, 2015
Nice one. In must yoruba cultural marriages, the bride price is asked for but then returned back to the groom's family either immediately or after the occasion and that is an evidence to prove that the lady is priceless.

my dad did not collect brideprice from any of his inlaws.he will only tell u to take care of his daughter as he would have done,if she is not married.I remember him warning my hubby sternly that I must complete my masters program.

If I think marriage is a contract den I will be open to divorce... I just believ in the sanctity of marriage as a union and bond which is endless until death.. I respect d marriage union a lot.

don't ever accept dat oooo. Bride price has implications.Tell Dem u must pay bride price. Ur wife go cheat on u anyhow, nothing go happen to her
Re: Marriage Without Bride Price by BornnAgainChild(f): 9:57am On May 18, 2015
You getting it all wrong,cos in such a case whereby bride price isnt paid simply means anytime or day the husband misbehaves to there daughter the family can easliy take her back since no bride price was paid

baybeeboi:

my Brother, believe me, in situations like that you won't be going home with your wife alone....definitely, her younger sister or brother's school fees will be the pride price you pay. You might train your wive's sister or you renovate her fathers hauz. One is certain.

It is more than possible.
If the family says no bride price, then they mean no bride price.
All you have to do is buy what's on the list to pacify the elders and relatives.........shikena

I'm talking from experience.............it's a family thing
Re: Marriage Without Bride Price by Nobody: 10:23am On May 18, 2015

That's not correct sir.

I am from Ondo State, my two elder sisters got married in a similar pattern, not for any favour from their spouses.

The only difference is that the bride price will be included on the list at first and then will be returned to the groom on presentation during the ceremony..."We are not selling out daughter, take back the money, use it for her upkeep & that of your unborn children as we pray that God Almighty will multiply the money for you, Amen".

My youngest sister was already in 500L as at that time & she is the youngest in the family, my father's house needed no renovation, even though we are not rich...so no favour is expected from anybody.

i think BornnAgainChild has made me understand it better, sure every culture, tribe or family has it's individual reasons for refusing bride price.

My dear its a Greek gift. My list was 5 pages. The total cost can take care of a standard traditional wedding and yet only #5 was collected as bride price. So tell me, should I consider it a privilege?
