Nobody can exist without having relatives. Any of her paternal male relatives will receive the bride price.

If the child was raised in an orphanage, I believe the matrons will collect the bride price. Orphans are allowed to live independent lives away from the establishment from adulthood. It doesn’t stop them from seeing their peers as siblings and the authorities as parents.

Most Nigerian girls are orphan even with both parents alive.
