Chaleeee: If I hear say Igbo man return the money!!!!!! Yorubas do not sell their children unlike the igbos. From Yoruba weddings I have witnessed, the average bride price is around N10,000 coupled with yam, fruits and other little things.Don't derail the thread with tribal utterances. |
Re: Why Do Yorubas Return The Bride-price To The Groom's Family? by warrior101: 1:30pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
They collect the money and then hand it over to the bride. It means they actually collected the money. The message there is to the bride saying its up to you, I'm only doing my part. hayoakins: cos we dont sell our daughters. |

Orikinla: I hope Igbos can learn from the Yorubas. Bros, leave that one ooooooo. If you have a well trained daughter, collect correct 'bar' from anyone who wants to marry her. I love the ibo culture of marriage, just that it should be moderate and they should be considerate as the case may be. If I train my daughter up to university level and as a well mannered girl, I will collect brand new car as part of the bride material. It is not easy to train children |

Omooba77: Biblically Bride price is compulsory; though most Yoruba family collect and return it immediately to groom's family. Yes very compulsory for virgins only |

Returning the brideprice in te Yoruba culture is a sign of goodwill and to show tat no amount can be set on a woman. Returning it is also a sign of goodwill and not for future talk as someone said. If u go to d market and ur money is returned automatically, u and d seller would become friends for a longtime. 2 Likes |

odua boy: Unlike ibos..Yorubas dont sell their daughters with the pretense of bride price.You are daft! my grand mom bride price was returned though it was not a tradition lather a personal decision. I paid 10k last 2yr as my wife bride price, their parent returned 9k to me. Bride price in Anambra is around 5k - 15k |
Re: Why Do Yorubas Return The Bride-price To The Groom's Family? by Toks2008(m): 2:14pm On Dec 30, 2013 |
Bride price according to the bible must not be more than 50sheckels of silver which is about 15usd in today's monetary term. This is a punishment for molestation and there is no where in the entire bible where we are instructed to pay MONATARY bride price if molestation is not involved. The only normal bride price that came from Abraham to Rebekah was in gift items and not money in any form. furthermore,bride price are to be paid on virgins alone by the man who defiles them.Deuteronomy 22:28-29 states that "If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered,then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days. The issue of collecting a stipulated amount of money nowadays is not biblical and its borne out of greed. But for the fact that most men of nowadays are guilty of violating a lady at one time or the other in our lives, i would suggest that any lady that is not a virgin must not even have any form of bride price paid so i guess we all are paying for another man's sins. 1 Like |
