OMG! See The Exhaustive List Of What You Need To Marry A Woman From Abia State

Used to be, but "Evuvu Manya" is not Anambra language. Anambra calls it "Igba Nkwu" and they may call it "Ebubu Manya". The "V" sound instead of "b" is not Anambra.

Such expensive marriage used to be deterrent for high divorce rate and abuse of wives. If Nigeria has data for divorce statistics, it may show that Igbos have lower rate of divorce and spousal abuse. However, Those who still practice it have special reasons for doing so; because these days education has enlightened people to see in-laws as part of the family, and economic pressures compel families to accept whatever in-laws could afford. Above all, ladies of these days marry themselves off before they would even introduce their future husbands.

What kind of marriage list is this, this is just too much and it is discouraging to a lot of single young men planning of getting married.But can't they do without all the item in the list, must a man pay for all the item in the list? Haba.

You are right but with 1/5 of this things mentioned you will still marry
you don't go and marry with N10.00 tomorrow you divorce and marry another
at least when you rememeber the money you spent you will respect her

I think it is a curse for Parents to impose anything on their inlaw to marry a girl. Read your Bible and you will understand that "bride price" was paid when a virgin was raped.
Genesis 34 : 1-12. and by the way it is the first time in the Bible that the word is mentioned, not by Jacob or any of his ancestors, but by the pagan Hamor.

When there was no issue, the man will bring PRESENTS to the Girl first and to her family. the family will then ask her if she wanted to go with the man, bless her and let her go. Genesis 24 : 47-61

Today it has become business for many African Families. Shame on you who call yourselves Christians and sell your daughters at a particular price.
Girls it is time to rise up and say no to your parents. Do not allow them to sell you.

I have taken the decision not to ever collect a price on my daughter if God bless me with one. I will let her Hubby FREELY give whatever he wants ( Presents).
And even if he has nothing to give me, but will treat my girl like a queen, it will be enough for me.
