Kenyans disclose why men don't want to pay dowry

Maina Kageni discussed the dilemma men have nowdays of deciding to pay or not paying dowry.

He revealed on the morning conversation that some of his friends are hesitant to do so.

"I spoke to two guys over the weekend one of them has a 2 year old and said that he will pay dowry when the child is form three and his partner does not know that," he said.

He went on to ask ladies whether they know that their men don't want to pay that dowry because they will be tied down to you

" So that man you are living with, have they ever met your parents? Has he paid for your bride price? How has he shown that he is committed?"

Check out fans' reactions;

Jennifer Kanyiri: If the man you're living with doesn't want to put effort in meeting your parents and at least pay something small as dowry to start with if he's isn't well financially, it's a fact he's not fully committed to being married to you,,so be on the lookout

Mags: Some will pay and cheat like nothing ever happened.

Lobewolf: Paying dowry is one of the things a man should never be in rush to do,simply because it's costly and there's no return incase things don't work,nowadays ladies have changed and there's no guarantee she'll be with you forever,some can divorce u anytime, that man is right and wise

Kanyambu Lisa: They just want to waste our time, no more settling fr less, it's so disturbing Maina

Expectations Manager: It might not apply to everyone, but where I come from it might be tricky. Especially if the kid is a boy. You can’t circumcise him without maternal uncle’s approval. Culturally you can’t approach him na ‘Bibi wa deni’

Mamamish: Hahaa I have not been paid for dowry yet we got 2kids 7yrs and the man don't know my home but our love is growing stronge

Martin Kirubi: Maina marriage is a slavery and life imprisonment, everyone must be very careful who you are signing "JAIL CERTIFICATE" with as long as you are not happy being in that jail wait until 50 to pay dowry!! @Classic105Kenya #MainaAndKingangi

Jennifer Kanyiri: Yees,,kumbe people are getting married as town couples only, they don't want to go to the parents coz they are hiding the truth ,,waah

Einneta: to all young ladies do not agree to move in before they go to your parents and you to his parents. Just do it the right way to avoid it ending in tear

Jennifer Kanyiri: unadhani ni true love the man is showing you while it's only a facade( ni mask amekuvalia,,kukundanganya tu)
