Family gives boyfriend deadline to present all the items in the bride price list else!

The family of a bride-to-be has set a deadline for her boyfriend to present all the items on an extensive bride price list, or they will take their daughter away from him.

This practice is common in African society including Ghana, where the groom is expected to provide certain items to the bride's family as part of the wedding process.

However, in recent times, some families have taken advantage of this tradition, demanding exorbitant prices and items that are beyond the means of the groom.

In this particular case, the bride's family has requested over 50 items, which will cost over Ghc 100,000. Many social media users have criticized this practice and advised the groom to reconsider the marriage, as the family's demands appear to be driven by greed rather than tradition.
