Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions
The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many
African cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the family
of the bride before the marriage is allowed. The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in
Africa. In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle. In
Western African, kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price.
The actual payment of money sometimes takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent. The
amount of paid in a bride price can also vary. In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite
small and its value is mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite high, especially
among prominent or highly traditional families.
There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price. The first is that
the bride price represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride’s family has gone in order to
raise her and bring her up as a suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment for the loss of a
family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband’s family and will
leave her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will
bring children into the family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family. This concept
is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children.
The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society. First, the
payment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures. Sons are dependent
on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this
generally leads to greater levels of obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two

families concerning the bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to
know one another before the marriage. Finally, since the bride price must often be repaid in case of
divorce, the bride’s family often works to make sure that any marital problems are solved quickly.

A. place great importance on childbirth
B. never see their daughters after marriage
C. pay the bride price on the day of the wedding
D. place more value on men than women
