Bride price is an important aspect of marriage in Nigeria and considering the economic downturn in the country it is advisable that you (groom-to-be) consider your purse and the cultural background of your prospective bride before saying ‘Will-you-marry-me.’
Although Nigeria’s diversity has created rooms for different types of marriage, but one thing that has remained constant is the payment of bride price. It has become an essential part of a valid customary marriage in the country.
Bride price, the payment, in monetary form, to the parents or guardians of a female partner made by the groom on account of marriage varies from one culture to another. There is no fixed amount on how much can be paid- while some can be cheap in other case one can find it on the very exorbitant side.
