In my place in Ezeagu Enugu, it's not upto 1k but you would have to get the normal yam,palmwine etc. In total its highest 15k or 10k.. then the traditional marriage list is not upto 150k so if u den decide to do more Dan it's on u... Ps each family has different marriage rites but have never seen or heard anyone day goes beyond 200k unless the recession increases de prices of beer, goats etc 4 Likes |

FOR LIKE A YEAR I HAVENT LOGGED IN TO MY NAIRALAND ACCOUNT BUT THIS THREAD JUST MADE ME LOG IN SO I CAN COMMENT,I MAY NOT BE AN EXPERT ON CULTURE AND TRADITION BUT WHEN IT COMES TO BRIDE PRICE ISSUES IN IGBO BESTLAND I KNOW A BIT AB9UT HOW IT WORKS SO I WILL TRY AND EXPLAIN THE BEST WAY I CAN:SO IN IGBO LAND BRIDE PRICE AND MARRIAGE RIGHTS IS SOLEY UP TO THE INLAWS INVOLVED,NOW ONE THING CERTAIN IS THE FACT THAT THE COMMUNITY OF THE BRIDE WILL ALWAYS GIVE YOU A LIST SO EMANDING YOU WOULD SCREAM HOLY MURDER BUT THE THING IS THE LIST IS NOT ACTUALLY MEANT TO REPRESENT WHAT YOU HAVE TO BUY OR PAY ,RATHER ITS MEANT TO CREATE A CONCEPT OR IDEA THAT THE WOMAN YOU ARE ABOUT TO MARRY IS VALUABLE,NOW AFTER GETTING THE LIST THE TWO FAMILIES MEET AND TALK ON HOW THE BRIDE PRICE WILL ACTUALLY BE TAKEN CARE OF,THEN AFTER THAT THE BRIDES DAD CALLS HIS KINSMEN AND TELLS THEM HOW AND WHAT TO REQUEST FROM HIS INLAWS,SOMETIMES THE GROOM'S FAMILY MIGHT DECIDE THAT THEY WANT TO PAY AND BUY WHATEVER IS IN THAT LIST OR EVEN DO MORE JUST TO PROVE THEY ARE WEALTHY AND WELL PREPARED..ALSO LET ME STATE THAT WHICHEVER COMMUNITY YOU GO TO GET MARRIED FROM IN IGBO LAND ANY LIST GIVEN TO YOU IS SUBJECT TO BARGAINING AND DEBATES.. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

From my place in imo state.... standard bride price plus list and everything is just 150-170k... the groom's family can decide to bargain and pay less... if they are rich, they can decide to pay more... p.s: if you want to marry from imo, hold up to 100k at least.... i don't know about mbaise people though... everything depends on the bride's family though... some inlaws use the list as a medium to showcase their greed.... 1 Like |

Many non igbos should really ask questions about this bride price thing, its clear they don't know how it works, bride price isn't more than 5k in many places in Igbo land the major thing that makes traditional marriage in Igbo land costly is the marriage rites list, it very different from bride price, in Igbo land when you come to marry you don't just come to the girls family to.marry but her entire kindred, the marriage rites list involves things needed to be bought for her kindred umunna And umuada reason it gets costly, its never bride price but a traditional requirement you need to do for people you are marrying their daughter from, the girls parents barely get anything from the marriage rites list its mostly for kindred people 4 Likes 1 Share |

Married from Mbaise in Imo State few years back. Although I was present all through the rites, the haggling is what I really needed to avoid. My gross spending was about N200k. More of it went to my wife's mother and the women of the community though. I think the requirements for her late father/amaala was covered by N50k of the cash. The ceremony was according to my tastes and what I could afford to do. These days, people tend to avoid the haggles, so they prefer to pay in cash and move on. In a nutshell, it's about what you can afford. My elder sister was married with about same amount while my aunt who was a M.Sc some years back when she was married did so with about N100k. 4 Likes 1 Share |

PrecisionFx:well, you might call it useless but that is what they want to collect to release their child to me. I am still hustling to ensure I get everything listed becos the trad is coming up next month. Clothes alone is estimated to cost about 150k and there is still entertainment not included in the list. 2 Likes |
