Yes o that’s if she did not marry in the court. If she did then she can be granted divorce in the court. However, if she did just trad, then the courts will have to refer to the customary laws. Scary stuff. bukatyne: |

Ubiudumo:marry under the act your marriage is valid without brideprice because it is legal. Brideprice validity is required under customarily law only. |

Exactly, bride price or not, a man that will maltreat his wife WOULD. In fact there are some Nigerian women that pay their own bride price because their husbands can’t afford it lol and they still get treated like shit. bukatyne: 4 Likes |

Abolished for what stupid reason? If you cannot pay simple bride price you have no business getting married, I mean...you cannot afford or you choose not to pay, how will you now afford or choose to take care of the family you want to start? And marriage is a forever thing o 1 Like |

You made some sense in the beginning but spoilt it with trash as usual. No where in the Bible was it stated that men didn't or forbade marrying non-virgins. Remember the samiritan woman who had had 5 legitimate husbands? Remember the woman who married brothers that kept dying? And was also supposed to marry the youngest boy when he was grown into a man? The Bible spoke on this topic but there is only one category of men which was commanded to not marry divorced women or women with kids. Not sure if it said non-virgins. Toks2008: 3 Likes |

Ryan03: CUSTOMARY LAW SHOULD BE A BRANCH UNDER THE FAMILY LAW SECTION. WE HAVE CUSTOMARY COURT, THAT CAN SERVE CERTIFICATE OF ANNULMENT FOR TRAD MARRIAGE, INSTEAD OF RETURNING THE MONEY. THIS IS THE ONLY REFORM WE NEED TO MAKE. |

NO MARRIAGE NEED BRIDE PRICE TO SUCCEED Where did anyone get the information that its needs it to succeed? *That amount which is paid is a proof that you are legally married the customary way. *Certain families ask for huge amount but collect only the first note on the bundle. *Others do some form of waiver. So whichever, its just a proof that shows the man is able to provide. So if you do not fall within the first 3 asteriks stated then you're only co-habiting and not married. |

DMerciful: I don't know what is marrying woman for free. Marriage is marriage and shouldn't put financial strain on either party. I agree with your first paragraph, it shouldn't put the woman in a bad situation, but some men don't fail to rub it in their wives faces. Yea, long time no see 3 Likes |
Re: Should Bride Price Be Abolished? by DMerciful(m): 7:23pm On Jun 08, 2019 |
Men rubbing it in their wives face is about those men. They will rub something else if not that. We cant fix character issues in the world, can we? If people marry without the payment and ceremonies we do today, soon it will become like US where people can run off, get a priest to wed them and then inform their parents they are married. Regarding financial burden, they can do it low key, its symbolic that its done pocohantas: |

If you believe Eve was taken from the rib of Adam, then ask God why he chose to make Adam pay the bride price using his ribs. Throughout the bible account, men always paid bride price either by service to in laws or otherwise. So why would it be stopped now. People should only be reasonable about what the bride price should be. |
