“My father is insisting on 50 million as my bride price” – Lady cries out for help
A 29-year-old Kenyan lady has cried out for advice over her father’s demand for a 50 million shilling bride price. The woman, who has a degree in business administration, said that her fiancé is a primary school dropout who works as a farmer. She said that she and her fiancé have tried all means to convince her father to reduce the bride price, but he has refused.
The woman is now torn between leaving her fiancé and looking for a wealthier man who can afford the bride price, or ignoring her father’s demands and secretly marrying her fiancé.
Bride price is a traditional practice in many African cultures, and it is often seen as a way for the groom to compensate the bride’s family for the loss of their daughter. However, the practice has been criticized for being discriminatory and for putting financial pressure on grooms and their families.
In the case of this Kenyan woman, her father’s demand for a 50 million shilling bride price is excessive and unreasonable. It is clear that her fiancé, who is a farmer, cannot afford to pay such a sum of money.

The woman should not feel pressured to leave her fiancé or to marry a man she does not love simply because her father is demanding a high bride price. She should talk to her fiancé about her concerns, and they should decide together what to do. If they decide to go ahead with the marriage, they should do so without paying a bride price.
The woman’s father should also reconsider his demand for a high bride price. He should understand that his daughter’s happiness is more important than money. He should also consider the fact that his demand for a high bride price could discourage potential suitors, making it more difficult for his daughter to find a husband.
The woman’s story is a reminder of the importance of challenging harmful traditional practices, such as bride price. Bride price is a relic of the past, and it has no place in modern society.
