        Culture is born out of 3 things: energy, spacetime & human behavior. All 3 change leading to outdated cultural practices such as #Brideprice

        Stop✋🏾#Brideprice it diminishes the value of an #Africanwoman & perpetuates #poverty. Total opposite to what it was intended to accomplish.

        Was he forced to dishonor Woman's family?. He didn't obey the custom of honoring the family of the woman. Actions have consequences.
