Bridewealth Law

Bridewealth Law is a legal framework within customary and historical legal systems that regulates the transfer of property or valuables from the groom’s family to the bride’s family as a condition for marriage, distinguishing it from dowry and other marital exchange practices by attributing economic and social value to the bride’s kin and affirming marital legitimacy.
