The critical aspect of marital rite is bride price and it is one thing that is widely acceptable to solidify marriage.
Bride price varies from tribe to tribe and it depends on the custom and tradition of each family.
Some people believe that it is a way to safeguard marriage while others believe, it is a way of selling their children especially the girls cheaply.
But, whatever the case maybe.
It is expected of both families to take rightful steps and decisions when their children are proposing to marry.


Here is a A TYPICAL MARRIAGE LIST IN IGBO LAND. YORUBA PEOPLE, do have their list also,
But we are not so sure of the [b]HAUSAS.
Can any Hausas here tell us if you have anything like Bride Price OR what your Bride Price looks like.
Thanks in anticipation. [/b]

Ujahson85:
Before going to the East for my marriage introduction, I was skeptic because of what people do say about marriage in the East(Igbo land). But to my surprise the list giving to me was far from what people do say. Their marriage also wasn't as expensive as some part of Benue state where I came from. I was giving 3 list to choose from one or the one that is best for me.

You will still spend a lot on other things, the bride price list is not there for your information

Liposure:

Juliusmalema:
The list alone is hyper normal and easy to fulfill.....That's how marriage list should be.



The list is standard, good and inorder, any man who can't provide such things is not fit for marriage and should be rejected

Lorddominic post=99763572:
Anambra marriage requirements happen to be d best in entire South Eastern region...I can't speak for d other states
here in Anambra, we value our girls...we don't sell them off
In most scenario, the head or the representative of the bride's family usually return about 90% of the dowry paid, to the groom's family...
