Where are we going to? I have no hope for this generation!
Dowry is supposed to be a token of appreciation to the parents of the girl, it is meant to be bring together two unknown families and they be one. An occasion to celebrate the intended union of two people, and should not even be about money.
What is even more sad is when the girl is demanding it. She is supposed to be on the side of the hubby-to-be, teteaing him, not demanding from him. In fact, she should make it clear to the parents, that whether or not they agree on bride price, she will still get married to the guy, if she really loves him. Then the guy will come up with something good, because he knows her real worth is not in terms of money..
As for this young girl, she is seeing everything in terms of money which is just plain wrong. Wonder what would happen if the guy pays 1m, then the next day they dont have anything to eat because he had taken a loan to get the 1m. Atado? Hawezi toroka, she has been paid for..
