She’s Ghanaian, her family’s rich
I don’t know how y’all african brehs do it
- Thread starter SNG
- Start date
that's a fact though. if she's no virgin ain't no purity to her also less likely for the relationship to last. the more partners she's had the less likely her marriage will last. and that's a fact.Wasnt their an attorney saying dont pay a bride price unless she a virgin, did he ask mom to confirm virginity?
How much is 50 cows
According to this video shot in south sudan (start at 5 minute mark) The small ass cow in the video costs $250 and they will typically only accept big/adult cows which are $500 upwards. Now this was 3 years ago so adjusted for inflation, an adult cow should cost around $550. $550 x 50 =$27500 and some family demand up to 100 cows
Also this article suggests the price of cows is much higher and my figure is on the conservative side
Child marriage: Some girls still being sold for cows in South Sudan, as country fights practice said to breach human rights
An activist says the younger a girl marries, the more cattle her family can get in return. It is driven by poverty as the families sell their daughters so that they get something to survive.
"The price of a girl is determined in negotiations between her father and her would-be husband and is typically 50 to 100 cows, each worth up to $1,000"

Wow you got off easy.
No way as a foreigner, or even a local, unless you are from the village, are you paying that in Kenya.
More like times that by 4 minimum.

The melanin on south sudanese women is sensational. Very beautiful women.I need me a South Sudanese woman. I'm ready to risk it all, liquidate my Robinhood account
Bump, currently my situationIve seen a couple of people say fukk thatand walk away if the demands are unreasonable. The wife to be should be talked to to go soften the blow after all these are assets out of your union.
Alot of it is cultural gestures and making sure it's a serious union because the families meet and become one. It's not just you and her union. The family chips in and you essentially take possession of her also showing you can be able to take care of her
How much they trying to get you for?

yeah its tricky, and different tribes have different cultures. In a way it's a good thing marriage is taken this seriously and your relatives all participate. The differences in cultures is why its so hard to marry into some. Like Ethiopians are our neighbours but we barely marry each other.
My brother married into a tribe that when we go visit them to help him ask for her hand, We had to go cook over at their place
and my tribe is proud Folks was like damn their must be a famine over there for us to have to come bring food and cook
. But its all gestures and respect and tying in entire families. Obama is the same tribe, we are Luo. variations of us is spread under different names adjacent to lake victoria in Uganda, Kenya and tanzania. Some Sudanese words we can catch cause we are the same vein and originally from Egypt/ Sudan (bahr el ghazal- which translates to valley of the gazelles)I've seen it play several ways and a lot of times the woman has a say into how she wants it to go. Like my sister the dude never paid a thing. My cousin when he married, the father was like this is a good family, i'm giving you my daughter take care of her. You don't need to pay me anything. Thirsty families asking for too much is a red flag. A friend of my sister despite having a baby with this lady went and they asked for a ridiculous amount and dude said you know what...
The woman can have a talk with her family and express her wishes on how she wants it to go, amounts etc. She can talk her folks down. Often times also the groom will send uncles or people of similar age to the men on the other side and they'll bond and discuss it too diplomatically. The cultures that give a lot of livestock also themselves have a lot of livestock. Funny enough they don't slaughter many of their cows so their herd just keeps growing exponentially. They'll have 50 cows to give, they probably also recieved cows for some of the women that have been taken by men from other families.
A lot of it is just to have the entire families involved in bringing the woman into her new family, seeing the entire environment she'll be in. What kinda people are these? Will she be in a stable financially home. It's gestures, culture and tradition that shows respect and goes a long way.
When the family is too greedy. Those are red flags. Cause you are interviewing them also. It'll tell you what they think of you.
And we don't pay money in divorce settlements. We already paid upfront
IN your case you said her family is wealthy. So I think its to see how well you can be able to maintain her life the way they did. But talk to the lady to figure out how to soften the blow. Contact respected men in your family to talk to the men in the inlaws situation.
straight foolishness. ussed goods premium prices$20k is daylight robbery, shawty better be a virgin, educated, cook hot meals life a chef everyday, fukk like a pornstar, every night!!!
Imagine paying $20k & shawty got a body count of 20+
You pass on her? I don't know what I'd do in that situation to be honest. Modern contexts should be taken into consideration, a lot of people are struggling to buy homes car prices have gone up, etc..
Hopefully it works out for you
