I got married 8months ago, my hubby earns 70k monthly while I am yet to get a job, during our wedding ceremony, hubby spent about 580k on the list given to him for the trad wedding, I persuaded my parents to reduce the list but they said it is a must and a tradition.

He was able to raise the Money bag as I wasnt working and I couldn't help financially. After marriage I suggested that he should be sending something monthly to my parent as he do send to his parent too, but to my surprise the reply he gave me was that he didn't owe my parent anything that they have collected all they are entitled to from him, initially I was not angry about that until my younger brother wanted to get married and his bride family gave him list of things for the traditional wedding which is amounted to 400k.

My dad then shared the expenses and told my husband to contribute 120k towards my brother's wedding but to my surprise, my husband said no and told me that my family has collected all they wanted during our wedding and they shouldn't come to him for any financial assistance. This got me angry and I told him that he is not responsible. Ever since then we have been living like strangers in the house, he doesn't talk to me, he has just been keeping to himself, and I have never seen him this way before not even in our 2yrs of courting

Please our mummies and daddies kindly advise me on what to do to savor the situation, I am in between my husband and my family.

Lalasticlala, please this lady needs advice. Kindly do the needful.

This is serious oooooo

Lemme wait for my elders in the house.

I ll swear for your family if I was to be d man
Come on y do u guess expect him to contribute
Some one receiving 70k dats rubbish n for dat ur brother if he don't v money for marriage he better remain single

Some women get mind Sha... I mean morale.
Just hear her out. Your hubby earns 70k and you're jobless at the moment, meaning he caters for you and foots all of your bills. Your father no pity am or reduce the bride price, you want make the same man come pay your brother Pride Price (As per say nah him wan marry wife for your brother)?
Shame no dey that family eye, especially the father of the girl... Make Dem collect the #120k from the bride price the guy pay to the family. Change go still remain.
I stand with the man.

I doubt this isn't a real story, but a cooked one

You charged someone's son 580k and he paid. They charged your son 400k and your entire lineage cannot pay.


Come on, my sister, does your family have conscience?

This is barbaric and marmaric joined together. Abeg, I need to send that man some bottles of chilled beer, na correct man. I trust my wife, na my side she go dey always

.

This is obviously a fake story, no family is as senseless and stupid as that. And no woman would so foolish to demand her husband provide for her family with his 70k salary they are barely managing when she is not contributing anything.
I saw this story on Twitter, someone obviously cooked it up just to trend and demonize certain people and cause useless arguments.

People should try and use their brain and stop believing every c0ck and bull story from social media.

Your husband is right. Your family's financial issues is not not his responsibility, he has settled them already with that exorbitant demand

Blame your parents for 'selling' you off, like many other parents do who treat marriage like a business in the name of tradition.

I am highly disappointed in you ma. Your younger brother was billed just #400k & your parents could not reduce your own bride price. Please, let your husband be for now. In fact you need to apologise to him.

They should collect the money from the #580000k and keep the rest for subsequent taxing in future.

Greedy fools like my uncle that brought a five paged list for my husband but his daughter was married for free.

How can ur hubby be earning 70k and you expect him to pay 170k as contribution to another grown ass man's wedding? Haba!

adidasBarca:
Some family are funny, how can u charge ur fellow Nigerian #580, because he want to marry ur daughter.Dat is the physical cash, what about other expenses.
With the economy of Nigeria for past decade now.

Go pay for ur son too, payback period.

That 580k covers everything

May we not marry an unwise partner.

The wife is unwise, and she couldn't hide it.

I am certain it's the husband that would be bearing the brunt of house rent, energy bills, food bills, clothes and other miscellaneous.

She and her father still wants him to drop an almost 2-month's salary.

They should be charged to court for fraud.

I'll like to buy ur husband a bottle of beer.

Mortuary standard

This family has no shame. Shameless nincompoops

This is the reason some guys treat their wife with disdain and hatred after wedding. This is common in South South/East, selling their daughters away in the name of tradition and you expect the man not to treat her like a product not a human. Abegii
