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 |

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. |

XhosaNostra: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. 2 Likes |

Fmartin: 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. |
