Her reason is that, when a man pays the bride price of a woman, he has automatically paid for her life so has every right to treat the way he wants.
According to Jane Chukwu in a social media post, a woman whose bride price has been paid no longer has a right to live the life she wants. She has to do whatever her husband wants to make him happy.
Bride price, bride-dowry, bride-wealth, or bride token, is money, property, or other form of wealth paid by a groom or his family to the woman or the family of the woman he will be married to or is just about to marry.
Bride dowry is equivalent to dowry paid to the groom in some cultures, or used by the bride to help establish the new household, and dower, which is property settled on the bride herself by the groom at the time of marriage.
Some cultures may practice both simultaneously. Many cultures practiced bride dowry prior to existing records.
In parts of Africa, a traditional marriage ceremony depends on payment of a bride price to be valid.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, bride price must be paid first in order for the couple to get permission to marry in church or in other civil ceremonies, or the marriage is not considered valid by the bride’s family.
The amount can vary from a token to a great sum, real estate and other values.
Because of the exorbitant amount some families charge as bride price, most men end up treating their wives like comodities bought in the market.
Jane Chukwu who is also a woman seems to agree to the whole phenomenon.
She wrote on her social media page: Forget civilization and feminist brouhaha, when a man pays your bride price, he has automatically paid for your life and the life you live isn’t yours anymore, the life you now have is to please him and make him happy all the days of his life.”
