A Yaounde (Fang-Beti) here. Precisely Eton. An elder explained to me that traditional weddings are expensive on our side for a reason. Back then, the principle of the dowry was to test if the groom and his family are really ready to do everything for the girl they want. For our forefathers, If the dowry is complicated for the groom and his family, and if despite everything they manage to do what is asked of them, this means that the girl they come to take has great value in their eyes. Because they worked hard to get her. Which was reassuring for the girl's family. They had tests like bring a monkey tail or bring bags of salt (which was difficult since we are forests people and don’t have access to the sea). Now that you can buy salt at the corner of your quartier 😂, having a looooooong dowry list became the test.
