It is expensive
Igbo traditional marriages are some of the most expensive in the country. Compared to weddings in other ethnic groups, this ceremony often serves as an opportunity to showcase wealth and social status.
According to native custom, the groom uses this ceremony to compensate the parents for raising a decent and responsible daughter and prove his worth as a man.
The money is what makes it not soo attractive and obviously for only the rich.. They should try to reduce the money involve so it will be more affordable .. I like any cultural tradition or traditional marriage like this
At least there is still old tradition in place. I hope it wont be lost like they lost nearly all the Traditional religion i South East.
