VisaOfficer:
I don't see an update in the case yet -- but generally a home visit is a big step closer to completion!

Dear VO,
At what point of the petition do you do home visit and why? Thanks

VisaOfficer:
Dowry.... bride price.... idana.... etc. Or so I've been told.

It's somehow complicated but depending on your background (idile).. In Yoruba land.. Dowry is a gift to show ur sincerity towards their beautiful daughter NOT giving her away for cash..

In the Yoruba culture, the woman is considered married as soon as the dowry is paid. It's mostly done on the day of the traditional ceremony. The Yoruba culture gives more preference to the traditional marriage more than the church or registry marriage.

I don't know where u belong in our Yoruba society because ur reply about Yoruba people considering dowry as marriage is NOT CORRECT.. This day n age Yoruba hardly accepts money for their beloved daughters, however, they will joyfully receive any natural gift you bring to them as a gud intent to reserve their lovely daughter for you.
