Dowry is an African tradition of giving money or gifts to the bride’s family from the groom’s family.
This tradition is meant to symbolize marriage and the transfer of the woman from the guardianship of her family to that of her husband.
However, some families abuse it and demand incredible sums from the suitor.
An example of this practice was recently published on the web. The dot list in question was so shocking that Internet users decided to comment on it on video.
In the video, the dowry list is divided into several parts representing the different members of the bride’s family.
The mother-in-law, the mothers-in-law (yes, you read that correctly, editor’s note), the father-in-law, the fathers-in-law and the sisters-in-law are all entitled to their share.
The list is long and detailed, and it includes objects as diverse as they are varied and even two million CFA francs.
Netizens were shocked by the dot list. They expressed their outrage in the comments to the video.
“It’s not a dowry, it’s a transfer there”, can we read in the comment having collected the most likes.
“It’s a main quest,” quipped another.
“Why is it so random like that?” They looked at objects in the room at random and they said “yeah, we’ll ask that” like? “says another.
This dowry list is an extreme example of the practice of dowry. It shows that some families abuse it and use this tradition to exploit suitors.
The dowry is a tradition that must be respected, but it should not be a means of enrichment for families. It must be a symbol of love and respect between the two families.
