Hajia4Real, a Ghanaian socialite, widely known by her stage name however, her real identity is Mona Montrage. in an interview aired on joy Prime Tv.
In the interview, she expressed her view that it is customary for men who want to marry women from the northern region of Ghana to pay a bride price, which can include up to 20 cows.
It is important to note that the payment of a bride price is a traditional custom in many African societies, and the amount and form of payment may vary depending on cultural practices in the region.
In this case, the Northern region does not accept cows as dowry or not, as stated.
Although it is practiced in some parts of northern Ghana and northern Burkina Faso, it is a form of thanks for giving the woman to the man. It should also be noted that this custom is often considered controversial and has been criticized for perpetuating gender inequality.
However, it is important to remember that marriage customs and traditions vary widely among other cultures and societies, and an individual’s opinion does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the entire family or community.
Approaching cultural practices with respect and openness, and engaging in constructive dialogue with the individuals and communities involved, is always essential.
