Maybe the topic may sound funny for some but it's not when you experience it. I am currently dating a girl who has been force-married at age 12 to a cousin of his father. The man is two decades older than her but she had nothing to say because her consent is not need according to "traditions". Women are "exchanged" as cattle in their culture. Those transactions build inter-tribal relations. I know a bit about their culture because i read social Anthropology @ uni. She run away from the man 4 years ago & came back to live with her parents. The father is still pushing her to go back to the man. He has heard that his daughter is dating someone (Me) and is very treating her shabbily these days. Whereas the girl's mother got to know me and we interact regularly. She is a very kind & soft-spoken woman. Her husband is now accusing her of supporting the "dalliances" of their daughter. The father is the one who is supposed to take the bride-price in case of marriage. I'm currently confused about it. I don't want to marry someone i've not paid the bride-price for. I don't want to leave the girl either because the love she has for me. Hmmmm I'm confused... I'm really confused... Any help or advice...
