Culture is people's way of life and differs from place to place. What is pray times in one place might be prohibited in another because people and cultures differ. The way different people behave and view things differ
I remember sometime last year, when a nollywood veteran chief Pete Edochie pointed out that it is un-African for an African man to propose to a lady kneeling down. According to him, its a taboo and signifies that the man is submitting to the woman when it should be the other way round
The issue generates different reactions from people; some were in support while some were not. The veteran buttressed his poi t by saying that kneeling to propose to a lady is a western culture and they follow the culture too the end but Africans that kneel to propose ends it there. They dont submit to the woman after that, they became the Lord of the house afterwards
So if you're not ready to remain loyal to the lady forever, why demonstrate it in the first place? The argument went on and on, till now people still kneel to propose to ladies
Some of us are confused, we don't really know which is the proper way to propose
Does it really matter whether a man kneels to propose or not?
As a guy, would you rather kneel to propose or stand?
And for the ladies, does it matter whether a man kneels to propose to you or not?
Let's know your views in the comment section
Sounds to me it depends on the culture indeed but modern time changed a lot too and no matter what people say proposing, kneeling isn't done as long as humans get married. Someone started with it. Most likely a nobleman, not the common man. This action is copied because?
If you ask me what matters is it's meant not done because you need a housekeeper, free slave, someone who provides you if it comes to money and status or because your parents and the church want you too or you benefit from it if it comes to paying taxes.
