I honestly do not understand why you are barking. If there is anything she has done, she has walked the talk, but you are still not satisfied. You have somehow made it about her age. Which shows your problem is just to cause ruckus at every given time.

First, I hope we (including her) all know the difference between the BRIDE PRICE and MARRIAGE LIST. Two different things.

I so love your response, marriage should be simple so as to make things easier for both the groom and the bride.Indeed,love is a beautiful so too is marriage but either the man or the woman should not kill emself because of marriage or die inside a abusive love or marriage.
It's time we get sense....

To the topic, BRIDE PRICE and marriage list is not about her, it is about the Umunna. The last time I checked, the BRIDE PRICE is not given to the bride, but to her father. The content of the list is also not given to her, but to the Umunna, Umuada and youths.

Even the bible says, give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar. A core Igbo man would be very restless if he doesn’t pay bride price, because he knows what is waiting for him in the front. Who even gave her drink to give him when BRIDE PRICE hasn’t been paid?

I do hope she had a unanimous agreement with her people on this. She won’t be the first woman to marry without her BRIDE PRICE being paid. However, they all pay it at some point, maybe when she dies.

I have seen women being treated badly and they said it is because they shamefully followed a man who didn't pay their BRIDE PRICE. I have also seen the ones treated badly and they still say it is because he BOUGHT them. Bride price where I come from is N10 and it is SYMBOLIC, not an EXTORTION, not SELLING THE LADY. The presence or absence if it is also not a guarantee he would treat you fairly. That one is dependent on the man and his ideologies.

Thank you

One thing is that, being a feminist you can't cheat nature... Feminist movement is not a legal movement as far as human being is concern. ...
So you are even proud of being a "Nairaland standard feminist" . Common dear safe yourself the stress... Lol. So men don teach una strong thing? Haha

Pocohantas is a pseudo feminist like many other nairaland ladies. They only claim feminists here to make themselves feel good.
But once they see a man with wealth, they readily accept to even become his slave. Money conquers nairaland pseudo feminists

If they didnt collect bride price its the because the family deperatley wants to dispose of her.

Trash as usual!

Back to the post...her brideprice was not paid BECAUSE SHE IS PREGNANT which according to Igbo culture is an abomination.

You can "pay" for an overused invaluable product.

I so love this your response, it's high time we stop killing ourselves over bride price and dowry because our tradition make it difficult.The dowry from where I came from is very cheap and our marriage very simple.
If the bride and the groom are good to go,just give em your father's and motherly blessings rather than trying to become rich overnight on somebody that truly love your daughter and so even when it happens that the man ain't a good man,you can have the balls to attack him.
Bottom line is, don't sale your daughter or turn her to goods display for Bazaar.

I can’t even remember telling any single one of you that I am a feminist, but yes, I love rich men. I have never denied that.

Whatever I am is more than feminist. I am simply pro-female and very indifferent to 99% of men and that shouldn’t be a problem.

Her talk about bride price not being paid is unbelievable. She admitted that the traditional rites were done, so which traditional marriage rite excludes bride price?

Her claim about no bride price is just to justify her feminist ideologies, she knows her followers will criticize her is she admits that bride price was paid on her head.

The man wey she marry come be Ibo man for that matter, if to say na white man she marry na, her lie for dey believable small.
