Many men complain that the bride price is expensive, but why not marry a woman who doesn't want the bride price and lacks food, clothing, housing and transportation?
There are two kinds of men who complain about the high bride price. The first is that the woman really wants money, and the man wants to borrow money to empty the family. Such a man really doesn't want to complain. It's really too much. The second kind of women want a reasonable number, and men feel that women are not worth the price, so they complain. Don't go to a woman who doesn't want a bride price for two reasons: disdain for good conditions and disdain for poor conditions.
