In Urhobo culture, as in many other Nigerian ethnic groups, the payment of dowry (also referred to as bride price) is an important aspect of traditional marriage ceremonies. The dowry serves as a symbolic gesture to formalize the union between the bride and groom's families.

Traditionally, if the dowry was not paid for your mother, it might be considered that the marriage was not fully formalized according to traditional customs. However, cultural practices can vary, and the specifics might differ from one family or community to another.

Regarding your own dowry, typically, it is your biological father's responsibility to receive the dowry from your husband. However, in cases where the dowry was not paid for your mother, some families might seek to regularize that situation first by having your father pay the dowry for your mother, thereby formalizing their marriage. Once that is done, he would be in the rightful position to receive your dowry.

It would be best to discuss this matter with elders in your family or community, as they can provide guidance based on your specific family traditions and cultural expectations. They might also suggest how to address any outstanding traditional requirements for your parents' marriage before proceeding with your own.

Urhobo elders in the house I need your advice. Right from when I was little I have always been told by my mum how her dowry has not been paid because her mother in law was against her marriage to my dad so they got married at the registry . I want to know if there will be any implications if my dad receives my dowry, seeing the Urhobo has so many cultural taboos my dad has no knowledge of them has all is extended family lives in the uk and himself was born there .
