safarigirl: Are you kidding? Didn't you say you would like the suitor to pay you back everything you invested in your daughter's education? I asked you a simple question, no need for this long epistle and denial. What is it you want as bride price that should return your investment in her education, kindness and care? 1 Like |

Op u made a great effort in ur write up, Well done. In as much as agree with u in few fact I really want u to know that the act of paying bride-price or dowry must not necessary be commanded by GOD for it to be obeyed, though u never kicked against it but u termed it a sin cos it was not commanded by God. Since the creation of man God gave man a willpower to address his own issues hence jesus told the apostles WHAT EVER U BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN AND WHAT EVER U LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSE IN HEAVEN that gives us the power to make constitute laws in places we found ourselves and the apostles excised that power in act 15, and the law they made is binding till today.Ever befor GOD called Abraham.Abraham has his traditional way of presenting sacrifices to his gods.God told him to sacrifice Isaac but HE never told him how to do it because Abraham has a pre-knowledge of how to make burnt sacrifice,but difference is He is a consuming fire. In Jacob days giving of dowry or bride-price was the expected cultural practice (gen 29) gen 34:12 1 sam 18:25 and God through his prophets or jesus did not condemned it cos it is man tradition and heaven said amen to it. Commanded or not commanded it is the permissive will of God. If ur inlaw gives u a list then it's in ur power to consider, if u have it then there is nothing too much to offer for the love u profess. |

finamaris: If bride price is a way of preparing the groom, does it mean that people that do not collect it care less about how prepared the groom is? And by the way, how far has bride price contributed to stable marriages over the years? As for me, I think bride price is cool but the content should not be determined by the bride's family but by the discretion of the groom's, this will even give room for better assessment of the family that you are giving out your daughter to. |

Blossom023:Is the bolded one millimetre or million? That's outrageous! Even slaves weren't sold for such an outrageous amount, that's pure greed... I guess ur mum is from igbo? That tribe should really work on their bride price. I can see most women defending tradition because of bride price, but these same women will be quick to condemn this same tradition when it comes to a man having certain rights as the head. How bias can women be... Btw, women are humans, not iphone.... |

you contradicted yourself with point 6. marriage is done according to the obtainable cultures and tradition.if your tradition requires only gifts, cool.it it is free, cool.if it's on credit cool again.the most important thing is to contract a valid narriage cikena! 1 Like |

Reminds me of a cousin whose well to do fiance was given this outrageous list (The parents are as Greedy as hell). The guy calmly accepted the list without complaints and only asked for a couple of months to get everything together. He then got the girl pregnant a few weeks later and convince her to keep it since they were going to be married anyways (Being staunch Catholics and considering the marriage plans already on ground, it was an easy choice for the family). 3 months down the line, he pulled a 180 on the family claiming his pastor told him that God did not approve of the union . By then, everyone knew about the pregnancy and the impending marriage. All hell was let loose! In order to save face, the guy was summoned by the girl's parents and when he finally showed up, he came bearing gifts and one question "should he disobey God & marry the girl?" . ofcourse nobody could give a straight answer He then asked for more time to seek the face of God again. Mind u, pregnancy was pushing 3 months & by then, the girl's parents were desperate. he came back a week later complaining about the list. He clearly told them what part of the requirement he was willing to fulfill in a "take it or leave it" manner. My uncles were dumbfounded & humbled. They accepted it without so much as a word. Trad was done 3 weeks after that and white wedding 2 months later (Both done in a big way! like i said, the guy is rich). He got her a Lexus jeep as a wedding gift (it was delivered on the wedding day). We were later to find out it was the plan all along cos that he didn't find the attempt at extortion funny! different stokes for different folks right? It's all water under the bridge now cos He's helping the family in more ways than one! 2 Likes |

snakebeat: My mom is not igbo neither is my dad. If the parents give you free of charge, no problem, if they ask for money, fine!! Because you're not okay with it doesn't mean you should condemn people who do it. My dad had the money to spend, he didn't complain, else he would not have iya'd her. So please |

HerexG: All of you singing that its a tradition to ask for Bride price please go and ask the elderly at home as i have done same and they will still corroborate the biblical injunction that bride price are only for virgins and in those days, bride price is paid to a parent of the lady only if she remains chaste till marriage and singing and dancing usually get displayed but if she has been violated before marriage, they will send her back to her parents with wailers and shame so please you all should stop talking about traditions you know little or nothing about. |
