Women have the right to Educate Their Fathers about Their Bride Price.

In the first instance is your husband supposed to be responsible for your family?

englishmart:

Not a most likely, but an obvious one. The husband took too much risk

Why aren't men to educate their fathers of pretty much the same?

Believing:
Sometimes I wonder who came up with this exorbitant bride price idea

Men who actually believe their daughters are in fact liabilities to be sold as property when the time comes?

milkySperm:
Such a man is not a serious husband material. How much is 580k in naira that he would avoid/ignore gis in-laws?
If he was not ready to marry wife, why did he commit himself?

And to those supporting the man, I don't get why a young lady would undergo all the home and school training in her father's house, and someone would expect the family to just dash her out without some serious commitment from the suitor.

ah dey find plank wey ah go wata dat ya head.. Mumu..

u sounding as if the man was not born by parents that also spent money to train him

...both family are doing each other a favour by giving out their son and daughter to marry...nobody should be exploited or told to pay becos marriage involve so much more after the ceremony ....

a son in law is supposed to become family and shouldn't be treated like a transaction .... we are just hiding under culture to exploit people

now that's he's treating the girls family like a transaction too...u come dey para... the guy no owe dem anything...his responsibility is to care for his wife and kids...

Better liability.

No be person force u go mbaise

Some inlaws use marriage as poverty alleviation scheme. May God no let me jam such no matter how sweet the girl is.. nonsense people

He is right. They have collected their share.
Let them reap the benefits of their greed

Your Family are mad
Sorry oooo
Not sorry rather

it's another form of slavery sis, the woman was bought and paid for like a slave and she still has mouth to talk. Rubbish

Ussycool:
580K? Extortion kenan. Wicked inlaws

After collecting 580k...dey should face front. Wicked cultural/traditional practices

That one no be him responsibility nau

Maybe in mbaise,not in Anambra

When I out pay ransone the to kidnapper do you always back to them?

580k bride price is nothing but daylight robbery. Your family is wicked.

This is the main reason I can never marry a Nigerian hoe. These hoes are so useless and entitled. What is ny my business with your family after I marry u. Don't u have brothers to take xare of your useless wretched family?

When a man pays such huge bride price on our daughters, it's only obvious that he may feel cheated and may loose the respect he has for his brides parents

Xscape1993:
Just 580k? Well, your brother should struggle for his own money too.

You said just 580k? To you Mr Dangote it could be nothing but to the man it might mean something ok.

Our problem is we that came from the "die hard bogus semi marital robbery dowry" region is that we hate correction and we believe we knows better than everyone that is why every nonsense we come on defense but if its other region that did such the Internet will be lock down from insults missiles.

Human being are not commodity to be placing price tag on in the name of marriage its greed absolute greed. Full stop.

The woman should sort herself out.
