How can I tell my in-laws that I want to pay bride price via transfer? That's so funny.
Very very disrespectful from the groom and his family.

Are they giving away their daughter in marriage via WiFi/Bluetooth?

People should respect themselves. Abi the guy no get marriage list? All these should be prepared.


What if the bride price is N70? Will he do transfer?

Today, a friend of mine invited me to the traditional marriage ceremony of his brother in-law......

After travelling for over 2hours via my keke, so we finally got to our destination.

After exchanging pleasantries, kola nuts and other traditional rites were done,then it was left for the main dowry which was #2000.
It was then the bigger problem came because the groom's family didn't come with cash. They insisted on doing transfer but the bride's family insisted on it, saying it must be paid with cash.

Omoh, the whole thing became funny grin. The bride's elder brother kept insisting on it until a POS attendant was invited into the situation.The dowry's money was later withdrawn and paid in cash.

Now, my question is, is it right to pay Bride price via transfer considering the new currency policy that's affecting everyone at this moment? Or the groom's family could have withdrawn the money and kept it until the D-day while it was crystal clear it could have expired due to the deadline of the naira swap?

Mods abeg make una shift this thread to the permanent site so that make other enlightened nairaladers for torchlight the matter small.

The most embarrassing thing would be for you to tell your husband you’ll return the dowry he paid on your during a huge disagreement and he replies, never mind, nah fake alert we take pay your dowry after all.

That will will pain that Jennywhatwver and sofirat like mad😀

It is common sense that the bride price is presented physically. I am sure you saw the money change hands, probably from him, to his father, to the eldest man in her family and to her own father. Everyone would see it live and agree it was paid. These are rituals that a transfer doesn’t help.

The father might keep it somewhere safely, because some of them DO NOT spend it. Any day yawa starts, he would bring it out from his old box.

What is N2000 that a serious minded man who knew he would be getting married since 2018 couldn’t get? Among his ENTOURAGE, no single person had N2000? Collectively they also couldn’t raise N2000? What a set…

Was there any elder in their midst? This is why you younglings should go close to your elders/parents. Watch African Magic, you say it is local. Now you are acting like aliens at a trad. There are things you don’t learn from American feem and South Korean soaps.

it's a must to pay in cash, that's tradition. Others can be done via transfer but there's a reason they accept only cash.

I was surprised at the N2000 and I seriously doubt it. Bride price itself has always been CHEAP. It is meant to be symbolical. Where I come from, it is N15, even until tomorrow. 3 mint N5 notes. What is heavy is the marriage list. Never the bride price. So, except your people don’t have a marriage list, na still the same thing.

Traditional things are done physically

The policy no funny but at last every body go the fine. Small small.

They close border we survived,
fuel price goes up we survived,
dollar goes up we survived.
Food price in the market goes we survived. Police extort money from common still the survived
Common man robbed common man on a daily basis we survived
They hike electricity tariff we survived

Common man cried for mercy no body cares nobody goes to ASO rock on how our behalf nobody listen to our matter Dem say don't mind those poor people.

Now something done touched them they run go ASO rock to do what? To cry, oh! " The rich also cry'

I want to console the poor that there shall be light at the end of the tunnel.

Let rich also feel the pains. They are not going to ASO rock because you the poor but for their personal interest.

We the poor shall survived

Broke men should please stay away from relationship/marriage.

You’re a very poor script writer ✍️because a man who is going to pay bride price should be prepared in my own traditional marriage despite all that SARS did to me on high way I hold my ground to make sure the 200k cash with me one naira didn’t slip out of it because I know when am already sitted in my Inlaw palour to pay the dowry you can’t tell them you don’t have cash they won’t accept transfer, responding to your questions: traditions demands you pay in cash and that’s how it should be paid.
