Should a Woman’s Sexual History Affect Bride Price?
In many Nigerian communities, bride price is seen as part of the marriage process and a sign of respect to the bride’s family. Some people also link it to virginity, purity and tradition. Today, many people marry without being virgins, whether by personal choice or circumstance. Should this affect the bride price paid to her family? Is bride price about a woman’s sexual history, or is it simply about family consent, culture and the union of two families? Men and women, please share your honest views respectfully.
