What is all this wahala about dowry in this day of unstable marriage, DNA, money money money! There are still simple marriages for love and friendship without enriching families and villages. Dowry today is about tokens to honor tradition. Nobody sells the daughter anymore. Some of these ladies can buy a man and his family, well informed, self sufficient but need a loving partner in their lives. There was this traditional ceremony where they kept asking for more and more. The daughter had to pass money to the husband to satisfy her families. Some of the reasons for brutality and violence in marriages have to do with heavy investment on the lady for everlasting partner that turns out to be a complete disaster as a wife or husband. There are exceptions but if a man or women is good and sincere to the partner, he or she would be kind to the partner's family. Grateful for good upbringing. Dowry is to honor tradition not to take a man to the cleaners. The same is true of expensive wedding ceremony that leaves couples broke. Some do not even have enough to eat the day after Why? Just to fulfill expectations of friends and families. |

xin5:Oga the guy told you a bitter truth. Ur asking Nairaland to confirm for u right? Wat if everyone said u shouldn't marry her so u will abandon the lady. Oya pay 20m instead of 120#. U said she's from South so u don't know that bride price differs from a particular town to another all in same state? If ur not ready for marriage just tell her because I don't think she's secure with you |

xin5:Them go ask you to cook owho soup and buy palm wine? Na free wife u day find abi? You want to get married but you’re unwilling to spend money, go look for a lady to pay your groom price na. The 120 is the bride price but like every sane person knows there’re other bills the groom pays aside the bride price, she’s Urhobo like me so I can authoritatively tell you that everything in our marriage list cost about 70-80k except her relatives want to cash out. But shey you know say them day cook for marriage guest? You know say you n your wife go wear clothes? Best of luck |

DeGods007:Saying urhobo women come with a high mileage is a bloody lie from the pit of hell. Urhobo girls are one of the most decent - if not the most decent in south south. Ask around to confirm. And let me tell you, other tribes are coming to rush them. Urhobos don't charge high bridge price or give you unreasonable list as they will tell you that their daughter is not being sold to you and you have no right to treat her anyhow. So saying urhobo girls LovePeddler around to have high mileage before mirage because tradition don't allow them to cheat while married na cap. Urhobo girls are some of the most loyal in marriage and if you marry from a good family and you're a good guy, your peace of mind and longevity is sure |

[quote author=xin5 post=130151867]A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there. I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide. She's from the south. I want confirmation if this is true[/quote ] Even if you want to do a small marriage the amount of the things in the list will cost close to 600k. That's the catch😂. Just ask of the marriage list you will be amazed. |

Poster, you didn’t mention where in the south, mind you, a couple of communities in the south take little or nothing as bride price, but the list for marriage is voluminous. Don’t be tricked Get the details, visit the community in disguise, ask questions about the marriage traditions and get first hand knowledge of what you are up against This is a new trick women use to diffuse tension of marriage bills on a man |
