Sterope:
But your traditional wedding doesn't preclude from having sex before marriage though

@pocohantas thank for the respond... I actually get your point. ... But to be a proud feminist has many disadvantages.

donbenie:
Payment of the bride price is SYMBOLIC..
It is what LITERALLY signifies the commencement of marriage..
Most fathers and Ụmụnna would rather accept the bride price and then RETURN it to the Groom's family..
To signify that they are not selling their daughters..
I am yet to hear of one where the bride price is not paid at all..
It connotes that no marriage happened in the first instance..

elonmuskbaby:
but are pictures and presence of well wishers not enough to signify marriage happened as in the case of nkechi or could it mean she's lying about her bride price not being paid while still claiming that she did an Igbo traditional wedding?

donbenie:
Yes..
In the church..
Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar..

donbenie:
The same way those going for church weddings are already NINE MONTHS pregnant..

faceland:
That man has married problem. He better lean how to drink.

How can you marry a feminist with public image to maintain?

donbenie:
Pictures and presence of well wishers are not enough..
The bride price is a ceremony on its own..
Without it,she or her people can claim the man never married her,in the future..
It doesn't even have to be done on the same day as the other ceremonies..
And her presence is not required..
So it's possible she didn't even know what exactly transpired..
Her people could have simply collected the money and then returned it back immediately to their in laws..
That is what usually transpires..

AmuRubber:



An age-old tradition should be altered just to please Nkechi Bianze?
I don't understand how this thing works where you come from; but if Nkechi was from my town, unless a bride price was paid, that woman isn't married. Tradition won't be modified in order to massage her ego driven by bitter feminism.

MrColdsweat:


Like, she convinced all those patriarchal, uneducated village uncles to abandon tradition and not accept bride price?

If no bride price was paid then she is not married. She is just cohabiting with the man.

Ndigbo will not modify tradition because of some woman who looks like she swallowed a bag of dirty clothes.

Sterope:
Your tradition has no place for pre marital sex yet you don't scream tradition when people engage in fornication. Your tradition has no place for Christianity yet you combine both. I am not sure but I don't think Christianity supports bride price.

.

Sterope:
Do you know what eventually happened to Caesar? . Caesar had plenty knives though him right in the senate house floor exactly because of that.

donbenie:

What exactly is your point?
You don't want bride price because of excessive costs and now you are talking about groom price?
You better stay one place and stop jumping all over the place..

Everything about her is truly free, even her "Milk Factory" is free for everybody

OGHENAOGIE:
scrap bribe price even if na one Naira

donbenie:

Nobody is forcing you to do traditional marriage..
Since you don't like the process..
Stick with your Church weddings..
With THAT..
All your problems are solved..

OGHENAOGIE:
traditional marriage is as important as church marriage.... Even though Church marriage is ceremonial... Bride price make women look like a commodity...
