4 Amazing Things About Igbo Traditional Marriages

Bride price is over-the-roof!

The bride price attached to marrying an Igbo woman gives many men a scary feeling as the list of items demanded by the bride’s family can be overbearing.

Due to this, there is a public perception that they want to sell their ‘girls’, however, this is not the case.

The bride price is negotiable, but it is the role of the groom’s family to persuade the betrothed his father to trim the items on the list. Bargain items like kegs of palm oil and tubers of yam, if you truly love your woman and want a healthy purse after the wedding!

    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.
