Episode Synopsis

"...Some view lobola as nothing different than purchasing a car or cell phone. In modern society, because money has replaced cows regarding the payment of lobola, some say it makes the woman feel as though she is being purchased."

"The groom often feels bitterness toward his bride or her parents because of the excessive bride price fees. Or there might be bitterness within the wife toward the husband and his parents because she cannot leave a bad marriage. She fears she must then return the bride price."
