I dont know but most igbo girls use to marry late, its only few of them that marry's early. Why?
i know am stepping on the toes of some igbo girls here just like what sillyboy stated 'one can use the dowry paid on a igbo girl to build sky scrappers' why is it the they impose lucrative amount on them during dowry payment? Abi na bad question again?

I dont know ooo

And what age is considered late?

22

Read the post carefully.
Did it begin with "Why"?

oops thanx missed that.

lmao!!!
who told you that most igbo girls marry late? what is late? 30? cause ive never heard of a woman that is 28 and not married yet.
lol most girls are ready to marry by at least 23-26
maybe its late to you.
im guessing other cultures marry their daughters off at 18 

@ poster

Wetin 'consign' you?

this is just ludacris

^ ^ and preposterous too . Wrong section.

Becos marrying them is an expensive project. . . .one ca build 10 skyscrappers in dubai with their dowry

^^^ if u wana make an exaggeration make it realistic too

most igbo girls dnt marry late FYI,its jst a notion dat plle hav.

** very romantic question / thread **

@poster, Igbo gals dosen't marry late. And even if they do, that is why u hardly see them divorcing their husband b'cos they are matured in mind. And there parents cannot give them out to an old man (@14) to be used as a slave. She will be a house wife while the old man goes around looking for a matured ladies for concubine.

i disagree, igbo girls do not always marry late. ok, does all the tribes marry early?

thats exactly what i was thinking. is it because a lot of other cultures marry their daughters off so early that now the good age to marry is considered late?
we are past the oldern days so i think its safe to say getting married at 16 is rather young with all the opportunities life has in store.

haha yeah.
i thought of the north and how many of them marry off usually around the age of 16 but i didnt wanna really get into that.
but yeah, i dont think igbo girls marry late, i think they just wait for the right time.
in the whole of my family and extended family and beyond, i dont believe any woman by the age of 32 isnt already married.

Igbo Kwenu

@ndeewonu, are from igbere in Abia State

i dont know ooo

waiting for the correct guy so as to show off,often times it backfires when they get to early thirties.
