RE: Bride Price: A Custom that should be Abolished
The amount paid does not matter, as long as there is payment, then it is trade. How does buying a bride give authenticity to marriage? This is the lie the society sold to us.
You are mixing it up bro, you simply don't like and that does not make it wrong. Nobody sold any lie to anyone. The only problem I have with it is the high rate placed on it in some part. Apart from that my brother it is beautiful. I am married and I tell you it makes sense when you married properly and not having the ideology of buy and sell. You can just see a girl and carry to your house and may be impregnate and started having children and say you are married. You need the both parents to bless you and money must be involved to bring them together.
No matter how you see it. I tell this, nothing in life is entirely wrong, it depends on you.
Even the gender equality you clamour for in your post who told you it is the best thing and the right thing. Are both gender equal in everything. Women are very good in some aspects and men too have their good points. They can be placed at par in some cases but definitely not same
It is only your opinion and perhaps some few others.
In life if you like it and incline to it then it is good.
If you don't like it then it is bad.
Try and also view it in other people's perspective.
The entire country or say majority can not be stupid as you posited in your post. And then only your and may be few others right.
Think again and may just express your opinion but don't conclude.
