Environmental health worker Karen Kwakye has stated that men should reduce their responsibilities as husbands if the bride price list is excessive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a chat on SVTV Africa, Karen mentioned that some families ask their prospective son in law to renovate their home as part of preparations for the marriage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking on the current trend of marriages, Miss Kwakye mentioned that Ghanaians have adopted foreign marriage traditions and give out a lost list of items. However, most of these \u2019social media marriages’ do not last.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw a front and back bride price list on an A4 sheet. The man told me that the lady\u2019s father asked him to do renovations before the marriage. Don\u2019t you think about your daughter\u2019s life after the ceremony?<\/p>\n
If anyone asks you to renovate his house before marriage, don\u2019t take care of the lady after. You\u2019ve invested the money in her father\u2019s house,\u201d she said while laughing.<\/p>\n
According to Karen, it is not compulsory for a boyfriend to constantly pay for their girlfriend\u2019s hairdo unless they willingly want to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is wrong unless the man wants to. Some even complain about their men not buying them pants. Let\u2019s be responsible for the men to respect us. If you are responsible, the man won\u2019t treat you like trash,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
