Outofsync:I don't either so I'll make it short It's a pity you mentioned the dowry system without knowing its original intentions. You amuse me. Isn't that the same thing you are doing? You cannot state the original intentions of bride price in Africa. You just state what you believe which isn't what is.... I mention dowry and selling husbands and you dodge it to still go back and talk about bride price. Some poor prllbrides did not get married as they could not afford the dowry. Isn't that the same point you raise against bride price?
Well, neither am I. In any case, your analogy is invalid. I have taken great care to limit it to "African women" and the intial intention of brideprice. Oh! So Europeans or Asians can collect bride price and Africans can't? You mean, they aren't sold too? You may not understand but bride price didn't originate from Africa. And I don't even want to bring the Biblical aspect in. If we are arguing we should have the balls to call a spade a spade. If bride price payment is purchase of the woman in Africa, it is so in Greece, Asia etc Like I said, people have different reasons for this. Of course, some of these aren't the real reasons and I acknowledge the greed in the whole thing. But hey! We're humans. I know of my mom's boss whose daughters' bride prices were all five naira each. Now, they are all highly educated young ladies. What, they were sold for five naira? Seriously? I know the father gave a reason for collecting the money at all but I can't seem to recall. There are no right goods.
So am I
You sidestepped the issue of dowry and brought this up? I still refer to the Indians. What happens to a woman whose family can't pay her dowry? It goes both ways. I'm honestly tired of this argument. Can we let it pass and stop derailing my thread?? |

NoToPile:Wow! Now na everybody's pikin? No wonder it usually looks like they're feeding a whole local government. Outofsync: You know, I've been trying to avoid an argument with you but they way you subtly insult others and make it look like you know all is annoying. I'm glad you know what one thinks isn't really what is. First, DOWRY isn't bride price! There's a difference. Now, tell us, what do you think of a woman's family, paying a specified amount to her husband-to-be? Like in India?They still selling him? Bride price payment does not entail the purchase of a woman. I see it instead as a symbolic gesture acknowledging (but not paying off) the husbands permanent debt to the wife's family. You see, people give different reasons for bride price. Some say it it allows the groom to demonstrate that he has enough financial resources to support the bride (and possibly her family) after the wedding. In China for example, families privately cite the need for bride price due to the country's lack of a social security net and a one child policy which leaves parents with neither retirement funding nor caretaking if their only child is taken away as brides as well as testing the groom's ability to marry by paying cash and emotionally giving up his resources to the bride. Publicly, families cite bride price as sustenence in case the man abandons or divorces the wife and that the bride price creates goodwill between families. 2 Likes |
