My Father Championed Me: He Retrieved My Bride Price from My Toxic Ex-Husband

My Father Championed Me: He Retrieved My Bride Price from My Toxic Ex-Husband — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Ijeoma Ekechukwu celebrated her father on his birthday and thanked him for insisting on returning her bride price to her abusive ex-husband and his family. He refused to let them dodge their obligation, even when they used every tactic to avoid collecting it. She revealed that she used to fake her periods to avoid sex with her promiscuous ex. Through it all, her father remained her biggest supporter, valuing her freedom and personal growth. Today, he even feels confident calling her for financial help—something he would never have dared to do while she was married. In her post, she wrote, “Happy Birthday to my first love, Papa Adaobi. Do more years in good health, sound mind, God’s protection, and happiness. Love you so much, Daddy.”

I find it notable that Ijeoma's father stuck to tradition and forced the return of bride price, despite cultural pressures to move on quietly.

Returning bride price might not always be the best option; sometimes moving forward peacefully matters more than holding obligations to a painful past.

If someone faces an abusive marriage, documenting every interaction and knowing one's rights can empower family support when demanding traditions like bride price refunds.
