A Nigerian man took to social media to share this marriage list given to a prospective groom in Anambra state.
According to him, even the 3 page list cost N1,000!

It is a well established principle of customary law in Nigeria that the payment of bride price is an essential ingredient of a valid customary law marriage.
The term ‘bride price’ is often used interchangeably in Nigeria with ‘dowry’ by both writers and others concerned with customary law.
Such practice, however, may lead to confusion in thought as ‘dowry’ stricto sensu means the property which a woman brings to her husband.
