Family

In the past, a man of 30 would marry a girl of 14-15,it was either a cousin or a niece. Intermarriage of other tribes was prohibited.Young people today marry at 19 or 20,sometime the girl can be as young as 15. Young people may marry from any tribe or race, but people along the countryside keep the old practices.

Typically a young man talks to his father . About the girl that interests him, then the mother talks with the mother of the girl to arrange the bride-price. If the girl has never been married and has no children, the family would expect to receive 2 cows ,a woman who has a child would be worth only 1 cow while a woman who has more than one child would be worth only 1/2 of a cow for a bridesprice
