That's pride prize not dowry

Is it not better to pay #100 000 in cash only than to have a list of things worth #1 million in purchase?

Think again.

wifeesnatcher:
I watched the legislative mockery and I asked which developing country like ours will their Parliament will be on plenary and one of the lawmaker will stood up to talk about marriage that's not related to the screening of the ministerial nominees


festus keyamo made today screening so interesting with his brilliant disposition Nigeria supreme court is the busiest supreme court in the world, if I'm given the position of AGF my first task would be dissolving the supreme into regions


Fmr AGF, and fmr min of state health Dr Osagie all tried. all the rest just yarn history and story especially minister nominee from sokoto

BafanaBafana:
Paying dowry is not buying a wife. A full grown African should know that

gnykelly:

Might be unislamic, but it is the tradition. Believe it or not.

Hold on...
Can u expand your understand of the word dowry ?

Are you from Mubi, Adamawa state?

quote author=Ramos16 post=80663434]This is wrong. In the Hausa tradition, and even in real English definition, it is the girl who pays the dowry, not the guy, as a matter of fact, in an ideal
marriage the man's sole responsibility is to provide the house, the woman is obligated to fill up the house with whatever is required to make a home.[/quote]

tstx:
Imo state comes to mind

Mbaize to be specific

You people should be fooling yourselves in Nigeria. A new PM had his cabinet in less than 3 hours and has already held his first cabinet meeting.

Meanwhile In Nigeria, after months since re-election a list is released and senate is going through the motions of screening!

Forward Never, Backward Ever

So, what is dowry Oga

Dowry is the items money paid by the Bride's family to the groom

Proffdada:
Bride price*

Mistake

advocate666:
My daughter will never be sold.

The day her partner misbehaves, she go just waka; with my full blessing.

Did you read the part that says "it (the dowry) legally becomes the bride's property"?

Sergio, if you continue with this mindset then you might find it difficult to get a wife especially in Nigeria.

Dowry in Islam is for the daughter not the bride's family.
The 100k was given to the daughter. BTW; If Ndume wants to sale his daughter would it be for 100k? Abeg make we dey use our brain small na.

Rather hope, wish and pray she don't meet up with one that will misbehave.

Hope is for fools.

seguno2:


Are they Hausa?
Is it only Hausa people in the north??,

Yes, just Hausa people, and I don't mean anybody from the North, most westerners/Southerners/Easterners think that when you come from the North you are automatically Hausa, I am speaking of the traditions of the main Hausa Bakwai, and some of the Banza Bakwai

Lool, no

I was not explaining a practice that cuts across all Nigerians, or one that is even very popular, what I explained is the Ideal situation for all Hausa Bakwai, and yes, lots of people do practice this. It is the culture nothing wrong with that.

Can u expand your understand of the word dowry ?

Dowry is the form of payment made by the bride to her husband as a form of commitment to their union.
Bride Price, on the other hand, is the payment made by the Groom as a form of commitment to their union.

and you will marry her

In Islam the mahr (dowry) is one of the rights of the wife, which is hers to take in total and is lawful for her, in contrast to the widespread practice in some countries, where the wife is given no dowry. Evidence that the wife must be given her dowry is found in many places, for example the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): “And give to the women (whom you marry) their mahr (obligatory bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage) with a good heart…” [al-Nisaa’ 4:4]

Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “This refers to the mahr (dowry).”

Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, summarizing the comments of the mufassireen on this aayah: “The man must definitely pay the dowry to the woman, and he should not resent it.”

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): “But if you intend to replace a wife by another and you have given one of them a cantar (of gold, i.e., a great amount) as mahr, take not the least bit of it back; would you take it wrongfully without a right and (with) a manifest sin? And how could you take it (back) when you have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a firm and strong covenant?” [al-Nisaa’ 4:20-21]

Islam has legislated the giving of the dower by the husband to the wife in order to please the woman’s heart and to honour her. It is also meant to bring an end to what was done in the Days of Ignorance wherein she was wronged, exploited, despised and robbed of her wealth. The dower is a right exclusively for the wife. It is her possession and none of her guardians or relatives may share any part of it. No one has any power over her concerning how she wishes to dispose of it, as long as she does so in a legally acceptable manner. She may give it away as a gift, she may lend it to others or she may give it in charity or do any other permissible acts she wishes with it.
