Why should men pay dowry?
In his intense sermon, the preacher strongly rebuked those who avoid paying a dowry, insisting that a woman could only be considered a legitimate wife after the dowry paid.
Addressing his believers, Ng'ang'a did not burn him, criticizing men living with women without having to achieve formal marriage.
“You have a wife and you have not paid for a dowry, you are a liar. Don't call your wife; you are the only person who lives with you. Ng'ang'a said.
The pastor, known for his teaching about marriage, went on to say that even having children together did not legalize marriage if a man did not pay a dowry.
He noted that people are separated even after having children, but once the dowry is paid, marriage has a different spiritual and social meaning.
Different views from networks
Ng'ang'a's statements sparked fierce debate on social networks, with some people agreeing with him while others rejecting them as outdated ideas.
Here are some of their views:
Toto Toto: “When I look at my husband we just laugh and we still have a baby.”
pst anitah n: “This is very painful, 20 years in marriage but there is no sign of dowry. I wish I could pay for myself.”
Francis: “The dowry has no importance these days for a studying, active or business woman.
Marriage is Sweet:
Miami: “They don't like the truth … then if you stir up they are sorry. If you haven't given that dowry they are not yours.”
Merlyne: “Let me put this video on the savings and wait for the good time to use this Mungiki.”
