Who Is In The Right Position To Receive A Widow's Bride Price? by crespola: 10:41am On Apr 24, 2021 |
This thing has been bothering me for long, then I decided to bring it up here. Please I want to know who receives the pride price paid on a widow, is it paid to the woman's family or to the husband's family or it's not paid atall? Marriage experts please your opinions are highly needed, thank you. |

Traditions differ. So we might not be your best plug for this particular quizz. Thing is, some traditions may require the woman's family to return their sons bride price if they don't claim the widow or ask her to get married from the late husbands family (as is the practice in some places). So that the widow is free. while some may not even bother to ask for a refund or care about what the widow decides to do with herself. In this case you can go ahead and pay to her guardians. I'll advise you go do your findings and get your facts from the widows family or her tribe to know their practices as regards this matter. 4 Likes |

crespola: Bride price is not to be collected twice on the same person by the same family . The widow's family must liaise with the dead husband's family. In my tradition, a widow's status is discussed well before she even starts dating. That's because we don't allow widow's to remarry with young children of hers. To remarry means she is leaving the family which also means leaving everything behind including her children if any and inheritance if her husband left any |

Am not a widower, just being curious. There are certain questions we seek answer, I don't know it all, so I decided to share for the sake of learning. This issue on ground, based on the comments above, I have come to understand that it's purely based on the tradition involved. For further clarification, please don't hesitate to add your own comment, thank you all. |
