What makes you think they aren't doing that after seeking the consent of his father in-law?

Abeg tell your friend to go and collect his bride price and let him count his losses.....

If marriage no favour you,at least make you dey bold enough to try single-ship..... maybe that one fit favour you.
Bride price is the least of it. What about the goats, cow, palm oil, beer and all the other things they listed that he should buy? Until they return all those things, them never ready

hello guys
a friend came from port Harcourt to see me on 24th morning he was with me till 25th ,
we were at night gisting and I ask about his wife.....
to cut the long story short,

the father in-law is still alive but the wife, sister and her sisters husband called him that they will be coming to his place to return the bride price,
I asked him , who did u give the bride price to?
he said the father, I told him to ignore them until the father in-law calls u or ur father before u go and collect it.

Nairalanders I hope I am right?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO U ALL
You are on the right track. But you can call the person who you gave the bride price who stood as the father and also ensure another elder of the house from her side is aware and inform your family as well just as a form of notification.....

But I would really like to know what has resulted to all this happening?

They have seen him finish maybe because they feel he has no body.That is why a Co inlaw wants to return bride price to another inlaw. They are both inlaws for Christ sake.

Tell him to stop entertaining such discussion from a fellow inlaw.

Let the father of the wife or any elder from the wife's family do his job if they actually want to return the bride price.

These things have procedures like wise implications.

Happy New Year

thank u my brother,
some of these nairalanders wey never marry before or see where Dem dey collect bride price will be arguing with me,
I told Joseph not to entertain them until the father calls u himself, since u are all in Lagos, na him, his wife elder sisters husband wan dey return bride price, it's ridiculous.
u really don attend village meeting well well

If you don't want a marriage again, I wouldn't know why you will be dramatic over receiving your brideprice. The father doesn't have to call. Has your friend called his ex father inlaw in the period of separation out of respect or to see how things can be fixed? If no, then I fail to see why the father should extend same honour to him.

If they refuse to collect it. Then a lawyer can drop it off with their village head. It is not even compulsory you hand it over to the man or his family. Let alone it being compulsory the father calls or brings it back himself.
There are some of these things you shouldn't dabble into.

I don't judge....but it's not her position or her elders sisters husband,
my friend Joseph said he will collect it, if it was from the father, he took is no longer interested, no be by force but there should be a proper way,
if he collects from wife or etc and denied collecting it nko?
Lady doesn't want the marriage again
So they returned the bride price
Aw
not about her father returning the bride price
The bride price being returned na small token
More like a change
It's more just to fulfill culture laws

The young man don lose
That's why people should be very careful in wasting money to throw
Expensive wedding
To me is a very big waste

The day the woman you lavished money
To pay expensive bride price and wedding
Say she no do again
Her family will return paltry sum as bridge price


So for young men
Vet the person you want marry properly
Also avoid having high lavish wedding
But if you are lucky and you married right
The money spent won't be a waste
Because you got a good wife as bargain

The elderly man should travel to go return bride price to a young guy probably in his 30s. Even if the friend na orphan, e no get kinsmen wey fit advise am on due procedure? He is taking traditional advice from someone who doesn't know how they share kolanut in meeting. grin
Nah why you never Marry cos you lack basic common sense.

Who did he pay the pride price to?? If the father collected it, then is common sense he should be the one to return since the union is dissolved.

Infact there suppose to be a meeting were this will done with witness present cos the marriage was done with witnesses .

It is stupidity for the wife sis husband to even involve himself cos of future reference.

If they are legally married, let him go for the legal divorce. I don't see anything important about the bride price. After all, under African law, he can marry several women.

my brother don't mind all these boy that are not up to 32years ,never married or been in any traditional marriages,
all they are praying for is someones downfall, see the way they are praying for it to be me involved so they will laff, very evil people, I attend our village meeting Lagos branch here in lagos once in two months and learn a few, I counted 3vof my sisters bride price before my father collected it and returned it to Dem immediately and requested 20naira only from the inlaw as bride price.
that was why I told him not to receive a returned bride price from ur wife and her sister or sisters husband, u didn't pay it to them,
let the father call u, he is in Lagos here , it's a call away to tell u to come collect it, then u can go with ur elder brother

Innocent ignorance.
You spend 10 million on a marriage - but the bride price is only 5K. That 5K is the only thing they'll return. Tell us again how you no lose

Just dey play
My Relative
Lavished millions to marry his wife

Las las the woman say she no do again
After 3 yrs
Her family returned not up to 5k
Put in an envelope
The marriage was dissolved

The guy went into serious depression
Serious turmoil
But him leave everything to God

The girl remarried immediately after her family returned bride price
But the new marriage no last up to a year
The young man was vindicated

That's why Men must vet properly and prayerful the woman they marry
It can go either way

Returning of bride price in my village is very easy the only condition is that everyone who was present during the traditional marriage ceremony will all also be present when the pride price is returned.
