in my place where I come from, bride price is discussed among the elders and then given to the brides father who will return it back to the groom but most surely collect from it at least 500 or above because its tradition you must collect from it

Stop saying pooh-pooh to another person tradition and they didn't even force or beg u to come nd marry their daughter


Tradition is Tradition
Respect others tradition even if they didn't teach u well.

You are a cretinous fccktard!

What is your understanding of the word "sale", moooooron!

You go school?

Tradition is tradition? Statement of a cretin.

The essence of bride price is to discourage irresponsible and lazy men from geting married. In other words you must be financially boyant before thinking about marriage.

Is religion not part of the tradition/culture of a people?

Of which people?

XhosaNostra:
In some cultures, it is believed that once a woman is married, she is no longer part of her biological family, but a new daughter/ family member to her husband's family. So by paying a bride price, you're showing gratitude to the people who raised her, fed her, sent her to school & instilled some values in her. They prepared her just for you & your family, so you must give them something back as a reward for all the work they had to put in. At least that's how we look at it in my culture. In the olden days you couldn't even run back home if your husband is troubling you, they'd send you back so you can go discuss your issues with your "new mother".

This is rubbish. Then what will the girl's parents pay me for taking care of their daughter after marrying her? And don't you the girl's parents should also show gratitude to my family for raising me, sending me to school and preparing me for her?

Delivar:

Why should they pay you anything? You're taking from them, not the other way around.

Funny how you're referring to African traditions as rubbish & yet you're going to expect your wife to fulfill her traditional duties as a wife. You wanna be a modern man & not follow tradition, then be prepared to clean the house, cook & look after the children like a modern man. You can't pick & choose a side that only benefits you.

Why do one have to pay bride price?

Nairalanders i need your views

What a question.

I lay hot curses upon whoever scrapped History from the curriculum

Look, when you need answers to marital questions you ask people like me with wives. Ok?

Stop asking riff raffs who dont have a means to raise money for the dowry if a girl were bethrothed to them.


Dowry is honor money. It is very significant. A man goes into marital contract with a woman, the dowry he pays her is a seal on that contract and a reminder to him of her virtue.

There are two most important rituals of marriage.

1 - the request and the acceptance
2 - acknowledgement and honor


1 is asking the girl to marry him, and she in turn accepts his proposal. This voids any claim of rape as long her acceptance lives on.

2 is the transfer of all roles, like feeding, clothing, shelter, care and wellbeing of the girl from her father to her husband. This is contractual. It is the rites of honor that calls for the dowry and a seal of the contract.

At the completion of these two rites the man and his woman are now husband and wife. They can copulate.

All the other stuffs about rings and party and registry and flowers and kisses to the bride are all fanfare...staged for the public entertainment and merriment.

u need education oga dowry is d gift from Bride family to couple...while Bride price is d traditional fee so to say from d groom...moreover what's so special in Bride price jingoism self....marriage shd be about two happy united people coming together...in india d Bride family is mandated to give d couple gifts...a man must not die cos he wan marry

Because men are greedy and want to make money from their daughters? All of the world’s problems stem from the greed of men. Come and bite me

Because it's tradition and it's a way of showing gratitude to the parents for raising her and preparing her for you to marry

It is ordained my God which cut across several cultural heritage.

See this cockroach.

LordIsaac:
It is a poverty inspired act....held onto, because it profits women.
As can be seen from the responses thus far, no logical answers, yet, the practice is in force. You wonder why the superiority complex of a gender over another persists...because, you cannot eat your cake, albeit symbolically, and have it!

You have no idea what you are talking about..if you had the foggiest idea what you are talking about,you would know that the bride-price(using Igboland as an example)...is collected by men...They demand and collect the bride-price not women..The mother of the bride is not allowed to touch the bride-price so how does it favour women? ....

Please how am I taking from them and the girl's family NOT taking from me? Kindly explain cos I don't understand the tilt in favour.
I am already a modern man and have no problem cooking, cleaning and looking after children as long as my lady is also a modern woman who make her own equal contribution.
