DOWRY DOESN'T HAVE A PLACE IN MORDERN SOCIETY

[Pomegranates]

@T.Vercetti

The law has not said that dowry or bride price is mandatory, it only states that if you pursue a Customary Marriage then you should follow customary laws.

There are 5 types of marriages under Kenyan law : Civil, Christian, Customary, Hindu and Islamic.

If you choose to pursue Civil Marriage for instance, the cost is only 600 shillings for filing the marriage notice and 3,900 shillings for the whole marriage process.

There is no dowry or bride price needed or required in a civil marriage :

Which country do you live in? In this continent Civil marriage = customary marriage

So you want to tell me that you can invite your in-laws for a ‘customary marriage’ without paying dowery/ bride price? That would be like inviting people you owe money to your party.

Just try to reason a bit because your argument is frail.

Hey kidos dowry is a must. So wacheni kujichocha. Most likely coz some of you will be broke it’s your paros who will offer to pay for you. So unless it’s some crazy amounts being requested jueni mahari ni lazima utalipa. Iko nene?

@KSterling

When you have a sister or a daughter it becomes a different case

That is called self serving…
Basically, it is like saying stealing is bad…but if you are the one stealing it’s okay. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t…no if buts or maybes

Kido, what is the importance of dowry? If you can’t give a just and reasonable answer, then my friend you are a donkey. I’ll wait.

Precisely, hypocritical as we all are, sometimes we got to bring it down a notch, dowry ni appreciation, we end up choosing the devils we can dance with, always

Stop thinking like a primitive bonobo. You have options. The choice is yours.

@Pomegranates

So you want to say that these old folks have been living broke and waiting to live off another man’s money in the form of dowry payment?

To put it differently, how do they manage to survive the period before the dowry is paid ?

Walikuwa wanababanya tuu kihustler until a beta showed up and asked for a pussy donor then it all started going downhill. How else do you explain the demands for dairy units full of hybrid cows when the fuckers all their lives have never even owned a horned zebu? Ama zile family mbele na nyuma have never possessed a combined 100k at any given time demanding for half a mirrion?

@fishmonger

A big scam.

I usually support the in-laws every month or two with some token for shopping. The minute I pay the dowry after saving and being harassed by the greedy wazees and wamama, I will cut hio monthly handout.
Na kusema ukweli, Men pay dowry and go ahead to support the wife bila usaidizi. I imagine my wife has never paid rent for the last decade and yet she is still earning. If i only pay 10k monthly rent, that is 120k per year and 1.2 million in 10 years. No different from the insurance policy tunauziwa kwa hizi streets.
Getting married is like securing a free insurance cover for the lady. And what does the man get…only puthi and stress!

In fact puthy inapimwa na ratili while stress is served by the wheelbarrow. Tangu niingie red pill battalion, I always ask my wife what I get in return for harbouring a rude wife. She has never answered me but from her body language, anajua niko rada yake mbaya so anapunguza upuss.

Abso, whether it’s done or not, you’ll still end up doing it through other means; chipping in for some unfinished building

It is simple, you can’t have a civil marriage without paying dowry/ bride price because the in laws won’t allow it…so I don’t know about these options you are saying

No one can force any one to contribute to a fund raising against their will, but dowry is compulsory. Do you understand this statement or should I paraphrase?

Dowry is a custom, fundraising is not.

Also, as formerly advised, this is no justification. Being hypocritical should never be championed as a just cause.

The lady’s parents will say that wamesomesha muschana yao mpaka university na wanataka kurudishiwa mkono and here is where my argument comes in,

1. Kwani hawakuwa wamsomeshe??
2. Juu pia jamaa alisomeshwa mpaka university, wazazi wake wanapatiwa nini as a token of appreciation??

Dowry is a scam of the history of mankind. What exactly does a man get from the hustle of seducing a hoe, wifing her, paying dowry and associated expenses, putting up with her silly attitude, rudeness etc?
