coogar: I still insist it's not that easy coogar: The bolded is very funny. We don't give such lists from where I come from. We also don't have Umuada or anything like that. Bride price is also returned to the groom. coogar: Most Nigerian men seems to hate feminism. Why do you hate feminists? I absolutely agree that domestic violence will reduce in Nigeria if bride price was abolished but I also don't think it is justifed to be violent towards your wife because you paid her bride price. |

crackhaus: You sound so daft, it's almost painful to read. Mar1tal r*ape is not illegal in Nigeria. Is it? Hence, legal by omission. Let me try to dumb this down for you. If a husband, r*apes his wife. The judicial system is handicapped because it is not recognized as a crime. It would be dismissed because no offence has been committed. In your country, the concept of 'marital r*ape' is impossible/foreign. FML! So you are dismissing customary laws that are admissible in the court of law?? Mr genius, you are beginning to look crazy in an attempt to dismiss gender discrimination. IF you need me to to dumb this down so u can understand, let me know. Section 13 of the Supreme Court Ordinance 1900 provides, “Nothing in this proclamation shall deprive the supreme court of right to observe and enforce the observance, or shall deprive any person of the benefit of any law or custom existing in the protectorate such law and custom not being repugnant to natural justice equity and good conscience” Section 14 (1) the Evidence Act39 provides; “A custom may be adopted as part of the law governing a particular set of circumstances if it can be noticed judicially or can be proved to exist by evidence. The Burden of proving a custom shall lie upon the person alleging its existence” Section 14 (2) of Evidence Act41 provides as follows:- “A custom may be judicially noticed by the court if it has been acted upon by a court of superior or co-ordinate jurisdiction in the same area to the extent which justifies the court asked to apply it in assuming that the persons or the class of persons concerned in that area look upon the same as binding in relation to those under consideration” 3 Likes |

crackhaus: Will you also claim that I edited this post? As for inheritance laws, there's a reason why women don't seem favoured. It is simply because they go on to marry into another family and acquire by marriage the right to the husband's property. https://www.nairaland.com/1928540/quotes-famous-feminist-speakers/4#26855789 So you didn't say that customary laws that exclude the female child from inheritance are fair? Well, the Supreme Court disagrees with you and your daughters and granddaughters won't thank you for this. They will thank feminists like me. |

coogar:I sincerely hope you know that groom price is paid in India, not only is it that it is paid, but also that parents abort (this is not about me saying just anything, the male to female ratio in some parts of India are not at par, women are being stolen and sold to men, who inturn share their property with their brother, friend e.t.c) their female chiildren because they think (very true) that females are docile, less productive, expensive to manage and most expectially, will necessitate the payment of huge groom price. Dear coogar, why is it that the groom price is seen as profit, while the bride price is seen as purchase? As far as I'm concerned, it is not necessary for a man to pay a bride price, before he owns a woman, all he needs is wisdom, a virtue women lack. I'm proud to be a man. I would have killed myself a long time ago if I were born a woman. |

babygirlfl: i agree it's not that easy... meanwhile, my extended family are also traditional and they believe a man must have 5 wives(at least). if it's not easy for you to convince your extended family to take out the brideprice, be rest assured it won't be easy for me to refuse multiple wives.
we are speaking for the men who are marrying from the villages where a long list is the norm. umuadas are the most vocal when it comes to this list. i heard they have so much power to the extent that they can cancel the whole ceremony if they are not satisfied.
we don't hate feminism - we hate the hypocrisy attached to it. caucasian males don't pay brideprice so if the bride demands equality then by all means she has a right to it. nigerian women love the idea of the bride price, so why should they demand the equality the caucasian female is enjoying. that's eating one's cake & still wanting to keep some in their bra. no type of violence is justified whether there's bride price issue or not ---- but i think a man that was made to pay premium for his bride has the right to decide how he wants his wife to be. the decision to work or not, frequency of sėx, how many kids to have, where to stay, where to work, what to wear, etc should be solely the husband's decision. he's paid the price to have such luxury! |

Misogynist2014: groom price seen as profit to whom? have you stayed anywhere in india? we are talking about what obtains in nigeria & you are talking of india. what's the correlation?
what kinda wisdom is this? shotgun marriage? some of us like to do things the legal way. i have no problem at all with that tradition. men have to prove themselves worthy - the bride's family must be sure the groom can afford to take care of their daughter - however, the bride must know her position in her husband's house. he is the head while she's the deputy. QED!!! |
