Should A Man Dump His Fiancee Because Of Hefty Bride Price? by simtosul: 7:00am On Jan 09, 2016 |
The bride price is the sum of money or quantity of goods given to the bride’s family by that of the groom in the Nigerian culture. Whereas some brides’ families demand for only money, some demand for only goods, while some demand for both. Some people believe the bride price shouldn’t cost a groom an arm and a leg, So is it right for a man to leave his fiancee because of hefty bride price? |

Yes & why not?! if her family decides to sale her off like a piece of item in Amazon ![]() let them not be surprise (if eventually u paid for the goods) when u treat her like a modern day slave. ![]() ps:I rather walk away than to treat her like an excess baggage, or if I truly luv her that much and eventually married her, her family shouldn't expect anything rather than "ah my inlaw how are u doing?" ![]() |

First of all, if you love a woman and you have already made the decision to marry her, I don't think you would let anything serve as a hindrance to your marrying her. But then again, some families ask for really outrageously high bride prices and you begin to wonder if they are actually considerate. Most Nigerian cultures who demand bride price from the groom, actually use it as a yardstick to test and measure his financial capability. It's understandable. But when they ask for too much, that's when it becomes wrong and only spells greed Now, it's expected that before any man thinks of getting married, he should have a steady source of income. He should be financially stable enough to take care of himself and his family. If it's in the case of the average bride prices, like those around or less that 100,000, I don't see why someone should rethink marrying his wife just for that. If a man can't pay such bride price for his wife, then I wonder how he would be able to provide for and cater for the needs of his family. |

You want to tell me now that if dangote wants to marry a lady, the lady's parents will charge dangote billions of naira just because he's worth it and can provide it? |

Op no now just play it smart. Borrow money from the bride's parents and then pay it back on that day as the bride price is that not simple? Why would you run away now? Are you not the man? |

This to me is a no-brainer, you can't give what you don't have. Any dude that borrows money to fund a wedding is already digging an early grave. |

I don't think he should dump her, there should be a compromise |
Re: Should A Man Dump His Fiancee Because Of Hefty Bride Price? by Nobody: 9:16am On Jan 09, 2016 |
NO.. if the guy truly love the girl, He should negotiate, discuss and pressurize the girls family/village elders for them to reduce the bride price if it is too costly 4 him. |
