With all due respect, the length of a list is not the issue but the cost of fulfilling what's on it.

The list is expensive, to be candid.
But, since every culture has its ways and it works for them, all good.

Well, virgins were given out in those days. Not anymore. Maybe it made sense back then. When infidelity by women was also very are across all tribes.

To feminists saying men are not faithful too, well, the women are not the ones given this long list. So we are talking of what men would after fulfilling the list.

Should ex boyfriends' rebate not apply? grin cheesy

By the way all cultures and families believe they are giving out a wonderful wife material daughter. Na normal hype.

But we all know that only few women from any tribe or culture or country actually fit the bill.
