The Bride Price

There are many cultures all over the world practicing customs and traditions. These cultures often set compliance guidelines and compliance for people of society. Several societies practice their customs and traditions in a more relaxed way. On the other hand, depending on society, its practice is very strict and we aim to maintain and protect their culture by teaching people to practice and practice frequently. This is the case of the Nigerian society.

In recent years, dowry and bride's price practices have been used to stimulate conflict between families and tribes, contribute to violence against women, promote materialism, increase property crime (to pay cows and other things to pay bride's price Stealing men) make it difficult for the poor to get married. Women's rights activists in Africa claim to abolish the price of the bride. I believe this is based on the view that women are a form of purchasable property. Since poor parents sell young girls to wealthy older men, the price of the bride has also been criticized for selling children. A senior police officer in Papua New Guinea called for the abolition of the bride's price as one of the main reasons for the abuse of women in the country. The opposition to dowry relates to crimes such as high violence (see death of dowry) and extortion.

In Babylonia, the bride's price and dowry were carried out. However, the bride's price is part of the dowry in most cases. If there is no reason for divorce, the man is asked to give the wife a dowry and the price of the bride she is giving. If the divorce is due to the law of Babylon, the return of the dowry may be controversial. The wife's dowry is managed by her husband as part of the family's assets. But he eventually did not make a call; legally, the dowry must remain separate as it is expected to support his wife and her children. When my husband dies, my wife has the right to receive a dowry. If she does not have children, her dowry will be returned to her family. If he is still alive, her father is her brother. If she has sons, they will share it equally. Her dowry can be inherited only by her children, not by other women's husband's children.

Many Nigerian ethnic groups follow the custom of offering their bride's price to their intended wife. Unlike dowry women bring some important value to marriage The price of a bride is a kind of compensation that her husband must pay before her husband marries his wife. The price of a bride can be paid to a woman 's family in the form of money, cow, wine and other valuables, but it can also take a more subtle form. Men can donate to intentional wife's education or help her grow up her with small businesses and agricultural careers. The price of this form of bride is usually part of the courtship process. Women who leave their husbands will be welcomed to go home, but they often need to have reasons to discontinue their marriage. If her husband is treated as a wife, he can expect the bride's price to be repaid
