Should A Woman Assist Her Fiancé In Paying The Bride Price? by Charleschidera(m): 4:57am On Nov 22, 2014
The bride price, also known as the bride token, is an amount of money or property or wealth paid by the groom or his family to the parents of the bride. In Nigeria, the amount a groom pays as bride price depends on the tribe, culture and the parents of the bride. Should the groom or his family be unable to pay the amount requested by the fiancée’s parents.

Now question is, Is it proper for the bride to assist her partner in paying the bride price.

If you cannot pay the bride price you don't have any business getting married. How will you pay for the rent and upkeep.

If she wholly assists him, it is most likely a sign of desperation.
In the man's part, it seems belittling and I wonder how he can preserve his manly pride in such scenario.
But if she helps him in some part - well, we hope in God it doesn't hunt him later. But the guy must be very hadworking before she can do this confidently.

As long as the bride price is not more than 35k, no problem smiley

Bride price doesn't really tell the expected value of a wife in the husband's life or in the marital home - does it
