The following subject I would like to narrate is the subject
of labola or dowry, which is not just popular but a compulsory stage of marriage
especially in the African and Indian cultures.
These days however, there seems to be a divide when it comes to the
topic as many no longer see the significance of the practice. Some of the major
causes for this division is that the present generation regard this practice as
primitive and many women view it as discriminating; for can one truly place a
price on the worth of a person, in this case a woman. Some consider this
practice to not just be primitive but as offensive as the modern women hate the
idea that she can be in some ways viewed as commodity which can be priced and
then exchanged off to another family.
There is a lot involved in this process and above that there
are a lot of cultural consequences to the practice, there is therefore a need
to include the bridal price my research, even if it is a brief overview of the
subject.
