What's wrong with most of you on this forum? Have you seen a lady who isn't properly divorced from an estranged husband getting married? If that bride price isn't returned, she's still traditionally married to him.

Nonsense!

kimbraa:
I don't get you. How is bride price synonymous to slave trade? I hope you refuse your family from taking one on your head since it isn't different from slave trade.

@bolded,

What is the significance of this, just curious?

Most women are overwhelmed by the prospect of the man cheating on them & so get paranoid overtime. Why not focus on his strengths & help channel his energy accordingly rather than living with a suspicious mind.

Most of us have no idea what marriage entails.

What a life

I am single & not keen on marriage coz am not particularly impressed.

There are more important stuff out there u know.

Bride price is born out of greed & gluttony.

BoneBlogger:
A woman who was allegedly abused and maltreated by her husband has been begging him to come and take back his bride price for two years now. According to reports, the mocked her and taunted her with his current girlfriend whom he allegedly said is prettier than her.

The lady is seeking for help to return the bride price and obtain a receipt from the man.

Human rights lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye shared her update online. Read below;

He abused his wife. He maltreated her. He starved her. He told her that his current girlfriend is prettier. He even denied the vow he made at the altar. He said to her: "I never told you I loved you or that you would be my only wife". He neglected and abandoned her. He threatened her with divorce. He even made a "mock demand" for the refund of the bride price.

After enduring and praying for him to change, she found the courage and left the marriage. Now, for two years, she has been begging him and his people to come and take the bride price and the man has been posting her. He believes that if he does not take the bride price, he would continue to hold the lady hostage and prevent her from remarrying.

What we fail to keep in mind is that, first of all we are Humans.

My question is - 'Is culture made for humans or humans for culture'?

Though I agree that bride price is overrated but saying it's borne out of greed and gluttony is a wrong notion

Some tribes collect as low as N500 for bribe price, so what's gluttony about N500?

The family members should return the money to the mans kindred....
.
the man will have no option than to accept his bride price

@bolded,

You mean the fact that - no matter how faithful a man could be, the woman who gonna cheat is still gonna spread her legs like rumour.

This woman is not saying the truth. She moved out of d house herself because the man is not as wealthy as she taught. Their marriage lasted for about some months.

Please people, if you have not listened to other side of a story, don't ever judge pls.

Very synonymous to a certain tribe in 9ja. Igbo pple!

True. Followed by parenthood.

my brother even paid N1:20kobo as bride price. He sha dropped N5 and his father in law still jokingly teases him about collecting his change. I am sure that N5 is still somewhere in the man's room

But have u heard anyone of those women talk abt bride price if they want to divorce? They just leave and get a lawyer. Bride price is not a consideration at all.

But it seems like a big deal for this woman, and it's probably because it was expensive.

@bolded,

You have contradicted yourself coz you struggled to divorce those two lines I bolded.

Why do u agree that bride price is overrated?

Why do they come at such exorbitant price?

What is the essence of the extravagant exercise?

Has the original purpose not lost already?

Shall we begin to examine the motive behind the hike in price?

My guess is as yours, it's a no brainer.

That's it jawe... I don't have any problem with bride pride cos it's part of our tradition to fulfill marriage rites
