Is Bride Price Still Relevant? by Awesome05: 3:41pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
In many African cultures the bride price remains essential traditional obligation towards the contract of marriage. Some people have however come against bride price. Some say it is like trading off the bride. Nigerian foremost feminist writer Chimamanda Adichie recently reiterated that she was not a fan of it . What do you think? Do you believe the bride price is still relevant in the contemporary world?

I feel it's very relevant. But it shouldn't be an extortion as seen some palance. it should be more symbolic than a means to gather some cash. I could collect a painting as bride price. |

When you are set to marry, ask your intending inlaws. They should be able to give you an answer. 2 Likes 1 Share |

I personally feel it's not relevant.the essence of brideprice in the first place was so that the family of the bride can be sure that the groom can take good care of the bride,but now most women can take care of themselves comfortably. But when I told my mum the same thing I just typed up,let's just say she wasn't too happy with me for sometime .asking me why am I cursing myself 3 Likes |
