Message: [QUOTE="Tafadzwa Twabam, post: 15540, member: 629"] Long ago in the old days, the customary marriage tradition in Zimbabwe was streamlined and there weren't long [I]roora [/I]lists than it is today where a son-in-law ([I]mukwasha[/I]) has to jump through hoops dealing with all kinds of complexities and sometimes having to run around in circles to meet the demands of his father-in-law ([I]vatezvara[/I]) or mother-in-law ([I]vamwene[/I]). So my question is: should there be a government-regulated bride price as a means to tackle the greed-driven motives associated with some people using the customary token of appreciation ([I]rovora[/I] or [I]lobola[/I]) as a means to amass wealth instead of simply joining two families together ([I]kubatanidza mhuri[/I]).
