ges that have taken places in payment of bride price in traditional African communities.
- Bride price has been commercialized.
- It is paid in terms of money mostly and not livestock.
- It is not a must to be paid.
- It is sometimes paid to individual parents hence not shared among clan members
- Sometimes paid a cheque/M-pesa not necessarily in person.
- The individual is helped to raise bride price by friends/neighbours and not by extended family.
- A marriage certificate is valued more.
- At times, the couple may discuss the amount of dowry and not the elders.
- Some people evade dowry payments or do not complete paying it due to poverty or selfishness
