Dowry is property or money brought by a bride to her husband on their marriage, and I think it should be practised, despite many terming it an old tradition. The topic of whether paying dowry is important or not has been a subject of discussion of late on public platforms, and it seems people will still pay it as it was passed by the law.
According to the 2013 Marriage Bill, dowry payment is required to prove a marriage under customary law; the payment of a token amount of dowry shall be sufficient to prove a customary marriage. We have heard of many cases of men refusing to pay dowry after a high price is set by the bride’s family. Most families take advantage of this custom to sell off their daughters and, as we speak, there is a shocking story about what happened at a rucacio (dowry paying ceremony) trending on social media.
