I Didn't Know That!

in my culture, the groom is should present six boxes of assorted dresses to before the wedding would hold. This would show whether the man is really capable.... Morning ma'am ,my regards to your address your daughter ☺

That tradition is no longer popular here in Nigeria. In ancient Nigeria it was dominant but in present day it isn't. The bride price paid in Kenya is also paid here in Nigeria but not as much as that. It's a little token to seal the marriage, some family reject it a with the reply that "the daughter isn't for sale"

Laging may dowry sa muslim sissy pero di nmn kalakihan ang halagang nakasaad sa original na paniniwala namin pero sa panahon ngaun sumama sa new generation ang laki ng dowry nakakaloka na nga hahaha parang benebenta na

In our region, the groom pays the dowry

Different countries and different stories. But the marriage is the bond of being together forever.

Each countries have there own traditions and we must respect that.

In our area like you've stated above which is Nigeria,the man is allowed to marry another wife is she doesn't conceive a child for the man and there's also some that whenever the bride gives birth to a female child continuously the man is subject to take in another wife that can bear him a male child as they said it's important.

Wow, super tall! Hmm, I am really into pinoy as a partner hehe one of the reasons is the culture. But foreigner, why not hehe! You guys are lovely!

And I myself is being shock of others traditions how much more to those who are actually married to a foreigner 😊. But then, nakakapag-adjust at naeembrace as time goes by

I didn't know that there's a presbyterian religion not until i read your blog Ate @Bloghound. I can't deny ive learned something from your blog. Good thing you are back ate I was able to read your blog entry.

Yes we can't judge them because it's their tradition and we need to respect that po. I'm famiiar dun sa dowry thingy. Anyways, nahiya height ko sa height ng husband po nyo

Interesting history and customs, they will probably disappear as all the information becomes globalized. Merry Christmas

Pag nagbasa pa tayo mg ibang tradirions, actually, mas mashshock pa tayo. Pero sa kanila, normal yon. Grabe talaga nagagawa ng cultures. And we are all encouraged to respect tge differences.

A very informative post. Some things I didn't know. Thanks for sharing. Merry christmas my friend!

The tradition in Nigeria is somehow decided by the groom's parents. Most of the times, they have the handle for the marriage. If the wife could not bear a child, it depends on the bridegroom family and the groom himself. He might decide to be reluctant to his parents decision.

Ayus sa nigeria ahh hahaha... Pero bad dito yan sa ph, papatayin cguro ako kung ganyan tahahaha

Merry Christmas sis, nashookt ako dun sa tradition ng Nigeria. Share ko lang, this is not about marriage but giving birth naman. Sa mga Badjao, when a mom gives birth, the baby will be thrown in the water, pag lumutang, sa kanila ang baby if not, then there's nothing they can do about it. Not sure though if nagbago natong tradition nato. Btw, ang tangkad pala ng hubby mo hehe. Sinliit lang tayo.

Merry Christmas sis!!! love love!

Your husband is the same height as me (6'3" 😁). What you said about Nigeria is true, the traditional marriage here is tailored to favor the men and many people don't even know that. This is the reason why it's recommended that a couple do a church wedding or a court marriage (this one is even better) to protect the woman too from things like taking another wife. But even women that have done court wedding still don't know the kind of power they hold 😀 ignorance is very bad

The beauty of difference really shows among those couples. I never knew any kind of dowry money for marriage and it's quite weird personally for me to pay someone for raising their own child (?), well the more we know about traditions!

In our area they also give bride price, and this happens at weddings. It is not a huge sum of money, but as a symbol from past times. Also, a bride does not leave her family empty-handed! She has a "dowry (pridanoe)" which is prepared all her life by the bride's family and can be anything. From blankets and pillows to a large sum of money. Without this "pridanogo" a girl was not married either!

Thanks for the extended sponsorship❤

Different country different culture but to be honest I am against all the dowry system and multi marriage system.

By the way marrying a foreigner is interesting and beautiful it also brings out a good evolution.

Culture is closely related to life in an area. it sounds very strange but that's the customs and culture handed down by their ancestors. if I might marry in their area I might sacrifice my culture.

Different countries different traditions :) In Poland we also have a variation of the bride price 💙

Iba't iba talaga yung culture, and every culture has a shocking truth for why is to why and what is to what.

I can testify to the infertility problem in Nigeria especially from Yoruba tribe. If the woman doesn't give birth as at when they were expecting her, they would find a young wife for the man. I see this as nonsense because no one is greater than God.

Also, not only in Kenya do they pay bride price. They do that especially in the Eastern part of Nigeria too.

Thanks for sharing this beautiful article about some cultures.

I am sure the culture in my country shocked you to your bones .. 😂😂 I am Nigerian btw

Yung dowry at price bride ate same² lang sila. Yung dowry naranasan namin yan yung ikinasal kuya ko sa babaeng muslim as in lahat ng gastos sa kasal samin talaga good thing lang is half muslim yung babae kaya hindi masyado malaki yung dowry.

Series which gives knowledge of so many different cultures.

Sounds like a series with many cultural diversity imbibed into the story. Though, in Nigeria, the liberty to marry another woman is becoming obsolete, as modernization and Christianity is against that. Although, polygamy used to be a strong part of our society, that is not the case now. Many Nigerian polygamists you will see now are usually Muslims. As their religion permits it. That is not to say manyNigerian men don't have extramarital affairs outside their marriage, they do. Same way it is done is many parts of the world. And Nigerians pay bride price too like the Kenyans. The only reason the Nigerian in the show didn't pay bride price is simply because he was marrying an American woman. Merry Christmas Bloghound 🤶🏿

I didn't know that is really a perfect topic to give this article cos alot of things were new to me. This has been thoroughly informative, nice one!

Nanood ako before ng 90 days fiancee ate tas ung napanood ko ung kay rose saka ung dun sa may walang leeg baeon? Then sumunod ung pinay tas yung tagaibang bansa pero di nilantanggap yung pinay. Ang ganda tingnan kapag sweet not until magaway sa harap ng cam 😅. Ay tekaa, ang cutee. Ako 4'11 rin HAHAHAHA partner ko 4'11 rin HAHAHAHAAH

Dito sa area namin sis which is mostly Muslims, yung Dowry ang pinakaimportante bago makasal ang isang couple. Yung sa kaibigan ko, yung 16 years old na anak niya na kinasal binigyan sila ng 100k sa pamilya ng lalaki.

Amg tangkad ng hubby mo madam .
