This is barbaric. I'm sure there are churches and schools in that's LGA.

Maybe the pastors and teachers are even involved in the kind of dehumanising behaviour

Nigerian journalism and sensationalim are 5 and 6.

I can bet my last bulk this report was exaggerated.

I am Cross River now and I can say that pepper, tatashe and salt have added to the cultural practice to attract readers.

gists:

Speak for yourself. Maybe every woman in your life is a money woman.
I did not pay a dime for the love of my life. Her dad gladly and willingly handed her over to me amidst songs and merriment.

carpmam:
Every woman is a money woman because they were also bought by their respective husbands through bride price,the only difference here is that this people are doing theirs in an archaic way

A Nigerian journalist, Imani MumZoe, has shared her experience after embarking on an investigate trip to Cross River state to uncover the "Money Marriage Practice'' under the platform of Channels TV. Money Marriage is an old traditional practice synonymous with the Becheve tribes in Obanliku Local Government Area of Cross River State, South South Nigeria where an elderly man buys a little girl for a wife.

Obanliku Local Government Area is situated in Northern Cross River State, approximately eight hours drive from Calabar the State Capital to access.

According to the journalist, the traditional practice is presently ongoing in a remote part of Cross River State South South Nigeria where, young girls are being sold out for a kind of marriage known as, "The Money Marriage" and the victim, Money Woman.

The practice which is as old as tradition itself is carried out without the consent of the girl who in most cases, is sold out to clear debts owed by a family relation even before her birth.

At each of the communities visited, victims of the Money Marriage through the help of the missionary were quick to share with Channels Television their experiences as Money Women or Money wives.

The Money Woman practice according to tribes in becheve is a status thing and a show of pride as there is virtually no family in Becheve that is not without a Money Woman.

The victims are most times used to settle debts owed by her relatives and when her husband dies, his next-of-kin marries her and if the girl-wife dies without giving birth to children, her parents are obligated to bring a replacement in accordance with customary demands.

In cases where a money woman gets pregnant by another man, the husband hold claims of the children and if the woman eventually gives birth to a baby girl, she is in turn sold out to a willing buyer without her consent.

‘Money Wives’ are not allowed the right to education and in every sale, the girl’s opinion is not sought. She is the bread winner.

Victims of this marriage are sold for as low as Ten Thousand Naira, few goats and pigs, tubers of yam, depending on the man's bargain power.

The buyer determines what he does with the money woman even if he uses her for ritual purposes.

Once a girl is sold out for Money Marriage, she is considered dead by her own immediate family and warned never to return back irrespective of how she is being treated by her husband or his relatives.
