The Groom’s Family Pays the Dowry
Burundi a small East African country, traditionally permitted Polygamy and the practice still continues today even though both civil law and Christian churches forbid it. It’s still common practice for the parents of a young man to meet the potential bride’s parents and discuss the dowry, which is paid by the groom’s family. Traditionally the dowry came in the form of cattle and goats, these days money is exchanged as well.
