"Kalym" is a fee paid for what?

women need to fight for the right to marry who ever they love. still in many countries women are treated like livestock.

Player #53553731, Where do women have equal rights? Certainly not in the US where we earn less than men for equal work , the Equal Rights Amendment still has not passed, and Roe was overturned. Maybe Denmark or Sweden?

A similar practice in the African culture is called "lobola". It sometimes takes years for the potential bridegroom to save up to pay the bride's parents.

On a lighter note, you would think that the amount of the kalym would not be higher for a university graduate, but for a young lady who was known to be a good cook and also a good housekeeper!

Traditons: Peer pressure by dead people.

Player Jellybean, I once had a cat named Jellybean.

Well, I misread this answer as "bribe" and hit it at random - so I got it right but was totally wrong! 🤣

I thought the fee paid for a bride was called marriage, lol
