How Much Should Bride Price Be? by chidiezeh(m): 7:10am On Dec 21, 2015 |
Bride Price is both cultural and religious but it is recklessly becoming a secular arrangement in the society. While it is good for a man to pay bride rice to marry his loved one, the condition and financial onus attached to the obligation has kept many men and women out of marriage. “Some families are so bent on “trading” their daughters in the name of culture to augment their economic situation”, a frustrated young man has said. He has been in love for about six years with a girl but his savings cannot get him a wife. He has to quit the relationship and settle down with another girl whose bride rice is reasonably low compared to the first lady. However, since he got married, God had given his family four children while his ex-lover is yet to get a man. How much should a bride price be? It has been a serious topic of discussion among young and adults. They want to get married but BRIDE PRICE, the problem. Today, there are families who place N2 million on their daughters as Bride Price; in some cultures, the more educated a girl is, the higher the Bride Price. How much should Price Bride Be? What is the worth of a woman that is ripe for marriage? Can the present economic condition sustain the huge bride price?

Its actually good even if is 500millon for bride price so that people will think twice before divorcing ![]() |
Re: How Much Should Bride Price Be? by ronald4lif(m): 12:06pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
Eliba: Be careful what you wish for, miss. That would even result to more divorce as there would be no peace in the marriage but torture, abuse and resentment on the man's part as the thought of forfeiting such huge chunk of his wealth lingers. Women will have no peace in that marriage and be seen as possession, needless to mention the rapid increase of spinsters that would be affected if such rule comes into effect. |
