It should not be relevant

Janet96:




It should not be relevant

Why should it not be relevant while you people are encouraging white wedding.

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.

MPESA:



Why should it not be relevant while you people are encouraging white wedding.

It is outdated.

Janet96:



It is outdated.

Your traditions and culture has an expiring date but you keep on promoting Western cultures....
We are all hypocrites in Africa.

It is relevant.

When you are set to marry, ask your intending inlaws. They should be able to give you an answer.

MPESA:

Culture is dynamic, not static. That aspect should be scrapped.

Go ask Anambra or Mbano In-laws that question..

I understand.

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

Y bother to get married at all.

I mean, white wedding, reception and co.

Y not just get pregnant and move in with the man, if he want to share accomodation with u?


Then again, your both Yoruba women, in your culture the bride shoulder the marriage expenses. That is y u say that.

In other culture, it is the Groom, that shoulder the cost of his marriage.

There is need for holy matrimony.

Which one is unholy matrimony?

Holy matrimony is wedding properly conducted in the sanctuary of God.

You are not making sense at all , which one is holy and which one unholy? ..... Nonsense..
God and study your Bible and stop all this rubbish....

FairCritic:
Holy matrimony is wedding properly conducted in the sanctuary of God.

So your grand parents marriages are not properly conducted and blessed by Almighty and they stayed long in marriage more than your sanctuary wedding.
Make una stop all this nonsense in name of religion madness, na only una sabi God?

Your vitriol is uncalled for. Mind your language.

Chimamamda, did her husband not pay bride price?

FairCritic:

I'm sorry , my bad.....

Where I came from, they don't collect bride price because they're not selling their daughter out to you.
