I've heard about the extortionate bride prices being collected by Zimbabweans, especially once they know the groom lives in the western world.
Just ask your parents what the bride price would have been if u decided to marry a local living in Harare.

It clear that your fiance can't afford the bride price otherwise it wouldn't have been an issue between your parents and your fiance. However, your fiance pays the bride price, you guys will be struggling financially trying to maintain ythe household. You already said that it cost more than your mortage. So it up to you and your fiance. We are not marrying you guys so whatever your fiance decides may you guys have the best of luck possible. I have a feeling that the marriage won't work because once the marriage starts on a rocky foot, it usually ends on a rocky foot. Pay attention to the signs and your parents don't give a fugg about that which is sad because if they are well off then why are they asking for a price you and your fiance can't afford collectively? Something is not right with this but then again, GOOD LUCK!

Zimbabwean you are not telling us the real bride price in Zimbabwe. Are you telling me that all those guys that often drink CHIBUKU from morning till night also pay 6000 pounds.Do you know what you are talking about.All i know is that they are charging the guy because they heard he is MA NIGERIAN,they do believe that nigerians got a lots of money. From 200usd up is enough for bride price in Zimbabwe.I have seen a zimbabwean guy they gave his bill for the everything is around 300usd.
Re: Too Much Bride Price ! by Nobody: 5:05pm On Jun 07, 2010
brideprice billed to zimbabwean:$300 usd

brideprice billed to nigerian: £6000





OP are you highly educated or like a doctor, professor or something.

seriously though, better warn your peeps if this scenario is true, or else you might start seeing lots of zimbabwean kids with absentee nigerian fathers if that hasnt started happening already.

Please ask that again.

Perhaps, her father wants to drive every suitor away so she would live in his house forever.
