To honest, I am not against bride price because it’s part of our culture. However, our people have put it at such a high level where everyone else can not afford it. Especially in Australia. We need to think about people conditions. Some people have a large family that depends on them and the situation that we as SS are in now is not great. For me, I feel that the price need to be reduced.
