Today in Igboland, marriage has become a project for people the society see as having arrived financially. This entails that the intending groom would be ready to cater for the family of the wife should there be need for that, after he must have performed all the rites required to take a lady as wife.

In most cases a junior sibling of the new wife would be attached to the new family to train. Whatever it takes, the man would be ready to foot the bills in order to be respected among the kinsmen of the in-laws.

But the duel of the husband to-be-would only get to the other commitments after he must have scaled the first hurdles. On the day of the traditional marriage, the kinsmen who might have taken laxative pills prior to the day would be in attendance to feast to their fill and probably get drunk too. Findings show that because of the endless demands made on the intending husband, traditional marriage seems to be phasing out as some parents would organize it in the city where they reside while the new wife would gladly move into the man’s house after the event.

Such factors have been responsible for low patronage of the marriage institution and a threat to the family system.

As a result, fathers are battling to give out their daughters on time or run the risk of leaving them unmarried. To achieve this they go out of their way to satisfy these kinsmen by allowing them have their way on the endless demands.

I think that may not be the case for this generation of women. I'm not interested in marriage. The thought of being shackled to a man who will suck the life out of me and keep me at home doing "wife type chores" is APPALLING! My parents know I'm career centered and want to travel and like being a free spirit, they know I love what I do, and they don't hassle me... at least not anymore! LOL!
My parents are different in that sense... they are understanding; if and when my younger sister decides to get hitched, my parents would NOT try to siphon money from the prospective husband. My brothers are both medical students, so I really doubt any of them would be moving in with her.
See? We are not all the same... and BTW, latching on to the rookie husband and having him pay for EVERYTHING is not something that ONLY IGBO people do. A lot of different ethnic groups are guilty of the same thing.

marrage is not by force, so if you are not ready for it, u wait when the money comes, do u want the girl family to do it for u, you have sisters and they will get married one day too and your in-law will care for traditional and wedding expences, you are not the one to do it for them, both poor and rich get married too, every thing depends how u want it, high or low level, na your money they talk.......so don't cry about the money, be a man
