Do you think that fear of having to pay back bride price was keeping some women in abusive marriages?
Background
The Supreme Court ruled that the refund of bride price by the woman’s
parents or relatives upon a failed marriage is unconstitutional. The judgment of
the court arose from an appeal for the abolition of bride price that MIFUMI, a
non-governmental organization, and 12 others lost before the Constitutional
Court in 2010.
MIFUMI had
petitioned the Constitutional Court to abolish bride price saying that the
customary practice was responsible for the rising cases of domestic violence,
HIV/AIDS and early marriages.
