In the process of negotiating a dowry, also known as a bride price, which involves communication between the bride and groom, their families, and sometimes elders or cultural experts as you can see in the photos above. The goal of it all, is to reach an agreement that is fair and respectful to all parties involved.
Steps those were taken in the processes of for negotiating a dowry, witnessed by the team were:
- Communicating with family: Have open and honest conversations with each other’s family to understand their expectations.
- Asking about expectations: Ask the bride to discreetly ask her parents about their expectations for the dowry.
- Considering the groom's budget: Once they knew the bride's family's expectations, the groom were able to negotiate on it and to consider their budget.
- There was an arranged meeting: where the two families met discussed this matter politely and respectfully.
- Clearly stating their offer to the demanding side

Culturally, leadies are kneel to greet
Without culture of particular group of people in Africa, nobody can leave a peaceful live; hence, culture is therefore treated with value, because it helps almost everybody to define his or herself identity and it is a major part of our daily lives. It helps the societies to shape their beliefs and values, dictate their behavior, and influence their interactions with one another. It is also a major part of our heritage and provides a sense of belonging and connection to our past.
With Cultural practices promoted like the case of Kole Intellectual Form, it is believes that culture provides a framework for individuals to interact within society. They can be as simple as the etiquette of greeting someone, for girls by kneeling down; or, as complex as rituals entrenched in religion and tradition. These practices help individuals in any group of people to define the norms that members of a society are expected to follow.
