Commercialization Of Brideprice During Weddings Is Now Disgusting - Chimamanda Adichie

 

 

Nigerian novelist and writer of short stories, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has said that the payment of bride-price in the modern day weddings has become so commercialized that it is disgusting.

 

The well-known feminist had an evening with a group of young people in Lagos yesterday where she spoke on several issues, including marriage and feminism.

 

She stated that she is not a fan of brideprice.

 

 

"I think we really need to rethink the ways that marriages are being done because it is dangerous in so many levels that many men who think that afterall he paid thousands and so she belongs to me and so If i decide that she should stop working, she should stop. I am not a fan of brideprice,'' she said
