She's a 25-year-old legal professional who believes that an educated woman who is working and earning a decent income is worth more in terms of bride price

because she is an investment to a man. I won’t just go to my man’s house and sit down. I will contribute and pay part of the bills.

The millions is just for him to say ‘thanks’ to my parents,” she justifies and adds to say, a lot has been spent on her education, beginning from primary,to

university. She is currently pursuing a masters degree in law and economy.

“A woman is priceless. You cannot quantify her worth. But if she is educated, independent, and moneyed, it means that she is worth more when it comes to dowry.”

Now,many young bachelors, caught between higher education and increasing inflation, are growing increasingly unhappy at the high bride price,

which some equate to “buying” their bride from her parents.Most young people, frustrated by excessive bride price demands, choose to elope and live together

without the benefit of a marriage.In modern society, paying bride price is evidence that the man is serious about his intentions to make the marriage stable.

It also demonstrates that the husband-to-be is capable of caring for and supporting a wife.

It also makes the bride feel that she is worth “something” and that her husband considers her valuable. It is a 'modern proof of love'.

So a man who wants to marry a modern woman should be prepared to demonstrate his love with his wallet,

Do you agree?

I reserve my comments.

@MMM
no am nt the lady.

Some women can be bought, sold, and traded to the highest bidder. Someone told me regardless if you didn't accept any transaction of any form you sold yourself someway form or fashion.

In relationship, women are always the one given the most in the relationship while the men enjoys the fruit of the women's labor. Hmm.

^^

Most guy do number no.3 Pay the dowry then later become tough on the lady.Never allowing her to see her people as often.

@190 .This is dowry price.Not 'nyansh' price.

@iice.

Her parents/relatives had no idea what she had in mind.She made her announcement public .She's not taking home a man not 'willing to thank' her parents for the struggles they have gone through to bring her up to where she is.

^^^^then she would have to fore go all her rights and be ready to be treated like the furniture or any other item bought and brought to the house

This is why i LOVE Bini people!
Our bride-price is 24 Naira!

Anytime he starts making mouth,like do you know how much i paid for you(at least that's what they always say in home videos),i would dip my hand into my pocket,bring out 50 naira,give it to him and tell him to keep the change!

Bini people rock!!!

When you pay dowry to the woman you are willing to marry; its not like you are buying her, Dowry is a form of gift forwarded to the bride to be and her family. Feminist women!

^^^ Advo: 20 geel iyo Qori gabar ma kabixinlaheed?

If you are a virgin why not. 

maujedaa these gaalo mentality, they think dowry is a tag price that buys a wife. Waa xolo ileyn wuhu.

Lmao!!! Be careful man, afkaaga trouple uu kugalin. Ps Dadkasta isku mid mahan, inaga its fine, but ayaga it is not.

Well I wonder who's gonna marry her anyway coz shes rubbed men the wrong way.Bride price is not purchase price .Its a thank u, but its just immoral to equate it to the amount spent in bringing anybody up.
Think of it this way. Dont you think the grooms parents have spent considerable amount on their boy too and probably more than you?
I know of a lady that agreed to pay her bride price on behalf of the fiancee coz the parents demands were too high.The man opted to stop the marriage to drive his point home.The gal frustrated by her parents/relatives decided to assist the guy cz she loved him too much and had money.
They married and the parents still have no clue who paid!
Was that a wrong thing for to have done? help her guy pay her dowry??

Don't we buy women already? With all the BB cost, feeding allowance. Some men even have a monthly pay plan with their In-law where they pay a fixed amount of money to them for UPKEEP but it is actually money for the wife

Are u saying the amount you spend on the girl during courtship amounts to dowry? lol What you spend on her during dating is a risk!
I imagine a guy telling the gals parents that hes spent this and that amount on her so it may as well be deducted from the actual figure demanded 4 dowry.
It may not even be monetary value but if your bringing say mmh 2 goats, you estimate the amount u spent on her  BB/Suya/Egusi while dating and equate it to the value of the goat.If its same then you deduct one goat?
What do u call that lol? future investment? thats risky.

^^^
No, I mean the amount I spend on her after marriage

@ Topic,

I completely disagree and I personally think its a selfish act. Love is not meant to be bought and sell and bribe and bid . . . It has nothing to do with all of this.

What if a poor man is in the picture? Are u expecting him to pay a high dowry because unfortunately for him, his so called wife to be is an MBA graduate and she is a professional cook, cleaner, child taker and whatever you call it?

Does that mean only a rich man can marry the so called educated women and the poor ones are for village women whom couldn't afford any education?

This is what I call Bushman thinking. Sorry no offesne  

@potato lol

That is wht people have reduced this dowry thing into.like some barter trade.'buying the lady'. And u treat her later according to how much you paid

Imagine I see some males opting for come we stay because the parents complicate issues too much.its just damn expensive.

Up there in one of my post I mentioned this lady that paid her own cz she got disgusted by the parents and relatives.

Guess wht? they got married and live together but parents have no clue she paid her own dowry and not the guy.He was just a poor dude struggling but love was key.

I dont believe placing a value on dowry guarantess a stable relationship

How do they do it in malaysia?

In Malaysia it all depends what race you are.

If you are a[b]Chinese[/b], than both parents of the bride and groom will come together and discuss. The bride's parents will tell the groom's parents what they want and it usually comes in the form of money and the boy's parents have to go give the girls parents the money than marriage takes place.

If you are a Malay or[b] Bumi Native[/b], than the bride's parents will tell the groom what they want and usually it comes in the form of Money/Property/stuff like eg: 5 cows, 3 sheeps, one car and money. . .

If you are an Indian, than brides and grooms parents will come and discuss and the groom's parents will tell the bride's parents how much money they want and the bride's parents have to pay the money and than the wedding takes place

i can assure her men wud prefer to marry illiterates then
