Abstract:

Abstract:

One example of the living Qur’an and hadith are found in South Borneo. Living Qur’an and hadith refers to various ways in which this scriptures are practiced in Muslim daily live. In South Borneo, this deals with the phenomenon of memorizing the Qur’an as a bride-price (jujuran) for marriage among the Banjarese people. This tradition has been practiced for various reasons. Using phenomenological method, this study records the views of the people peforming this tradition and attempts to explain its practice and meaning. This study reveals that jujuran is an acculturation of the Qur’an with the local tradition. The people believe in the power of the Qur’an and make this to bless their important life cycle, such as marriage. The jujuran reflects various reasons, ranging from groom’s seriousness to memorize the Qur’an and to marry and the best award for brides. However, most do not know the authoritative tradition from the Prophet regarding the bride-price of memorizing the Qur’an but are inspired by popular literature and novel that contain stories of the Qur’an as bride-price.

Abstract:

Buchi Emecheta’s novel The Bride Price is examined for its overall literary strength, and particularly for its use of syncretism. Her work is compared with that of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus, and it is concluded that both writers assist us in understanding today’s African diaspora. In addition, it is argued that several key passages in Bride Price are resonant for their extensive use of metonymy, and that Emecheta’s writing exhibits strong strands of the postcolonial, including the trope that the female body can be the site of multiple instantiations of hegemony and dominance.

Abstract:

The Bride Price is one of the most influential modern novels authored by Buchi Emecheta through which the voice of a female character is expressed. The study has two points of discussion: the first deals with patriarchal society in which women suffer and become the only victims, and the second does with African culture from which Emecheta criticizes severely. Men have all the powers in controlling the whole family. The traditional society of Africa follows their culture as it is especially in paying the bride from the groom’s family. The paper aims at both men and women to keep this belief for the rest of their life no matter how modern the society has become. To some extent, the idea of “double colonization” proposed by Peterson and Rutherford (1986) will be identified in the paper and further explanation will be given. The paper also is an attempt to analyze the reflection of the African system related to marriage in the novel; as similar idea can be found in Iraqi Kurdistan that would be counted as the main objective behind writing the current paper. Furthermore, it shows some cultural similarities between both countries. By applying “double colonization” theory, the researcher confirms that Emecheta’s female characters suffer a traumatic experience in which they are controlled by two colonizers: the power of males and the reality of colonization. The researcher tries to send his messages through this paper out to avoid such conflicts and spread self and cultural awareness among the society.

Abstract:

This paper sought to examine the role of bride price on the state of marriage among the Dagara of North-West Ghana. In the face of increasing scarcity of the items used in marriage in the study area, getting bride price has become a daunting task for many young men preparing to marry or already in marriage with consequences on the legitimacy and stability of families. Through purposive sampling, 5 FGDs and 9 personal interviews were conducted to obtain experiential information on bride price and state of marriage. The study revealed that the role of families, payback norms and incorporation (as part of bride price payment) are clear structures that have positive consequences for the stability of marriage; weakening potentially destabilising factors such as spousal abuse and the extra-marital sexual activities of men. Interestingly, the type and amount of items used for bride price have so much social and cultural significance that formal education and modernity has so far failed to completely change this practice among the people. The preceding allows us to conclude that the Dagara of Buo community are an epainogamous people, with societally supported marital norms and systems leading to marital stability. We recognise however that stability and longevity of marriage does not necessarily mean that spouses are ‘happy and content’ with their marriage. This is a relevant question that our current study did not explore. Thus, we recommend that a future quantitative study examine the relationship between marital stability and spousal ‘happiness and contentment.’

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores the origins of debate regarding bride price (Rus. kalym) among the Buryats in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as expressed in literary texts and media reports. Buryats began denouncing the practice after the mid nineteenth century, when bride price became more monetised and burdensome for ordinary families arranging marriages for their sons. Progressive, literate Buryats proposed a new approach to marriage and women's roles, based on romantic affinity instead of economic interests. The debate moved community meetings (suglans) to literature and the stage at around the turn of the twentieth century. During the early Soviet era, bride price continued to be denounced by Buryat writers, though it had become increasingly rare. Kalym was transformed into a symbol for women's oppression in general, and a means for demarcating the backwards Buryat past from the progressive Soviet future.

Abstract:

Batak Toba people are formed from kinship patrilineal systems which follow men side in lineage. Therefore, the position of men is more important than women. Traditional marriage of Batak Toba people is honest marriage where men relative has to pay certain amount of money or it usually called as bride-price to women relative. People of Batak Toba explained that honest marriage is a principal, beliefs and an attitude of magis religious (relationship between spiritual thing and their beliefs). The most important requirement for pauseang-field is honest marriage and giving bride-price (sinamot/tuhor). Bride-price must be fully paid by men relatives to women relatives. There is a consequences if men’s relative are not fully paid the money, men’s relative will have customary debt and must be done as traditional duty. Therefore, pauseang-field cannot be given to daughter and her husband. Tanah pauseang-field from parent (father) will be managed by her husband, because in Batak Toba, daughter could not own any inheritance.

Abstract:

The amount of bride price in the lineage-centered villages in northern Guangdong has decreased, in sharp contrast to its escalation throughout the country. This article examines changes in life styles in the rural communities of northern Guangdong through an analysis of local activities in relation to bride prices. Indicative of the deterioration of the extended family and the weakening of the authority of parents in decision-making, the determination of bride price has shifted from the senior generation to adult children, and the importance of bride price in marriage has decreased accordingly, as has its amount. All these suggest the growing importance of emotion as a defining factor in the family as a result of changes in family relations and the household economy that have undermined traditional family morality. 粤北宗族村的彩礼相对于全国彩礼高涨的形势，不增反而相对下降。本文通过婚姻彩礼行为的分析，透视了粤北传统宗族村落家庭生活方式的变迁。在大家庭生活式微的过程中，婚姻彩礼从由长辈主导到由子女主导。彩礼在婚姻中的作用逐渐弱化，彩礼价格也相对下降。大家庭逐渐丧失公共性，长辈从家长的公共角色转变为父母这样的私人角色。随着家庭政治经济的嬗变，家庭内的伦理道德丧失了存在的需要和基础，情感成为家庭中起主导作用的力量。

Abstract:

This study is based on the investigation of the pragmatics of persuasive in Sesotho bride price discussions. The study was informed by Austin’s (1962), and Searle’s (1969) speech act theory, and politeness theory. Different linguistic expressions that denote persuasion and various classes of persuasive are used to analyse some insinuations of persuasive expressions function. This is a qualitative study which utilised different methods to collect data. Ten (10) bride price discussion meetings, as well as ten (10), structured interviews from the study areas of Leribe (ButhaButhe and Hlotse) and Berea (Teyateyaneng) districts in Lesotho were conducted. The study revealed that the speakers used various linguistic expressions to reach an agreement. The expressions used were comprehensible to the people sharing the same cultural background context.

Abstract:

Every phenomenon or custom has a societal history attached to it, how it develops, how it becomes suitable to people in universal and why it continues even now. There are various traditions and customs, which thwart people from realizing that bride trafficking, is a crime. History speaks about various instances of traditions and customs which are similar to the crime of bride trafficking but because they are time immoral they have got certain level of acceptance by different societies. The custom, traditions and usages bring acceptability to any practice even per se the practice is illegal and same we can find in case of Bride price tradition.

Abstract:This study examines the postmarriage bargaining power of women—specifically, their decision-making power with regard to fertility—vis-à-vis imbalances in matching in the marriage market. Applying a multinomial logit model to data on rural Bangladesh for 1998/99, the study gauges women's relative empowerment: (i) at the time of marriage (measured by the bride price as a share of total marriage payments) and (ii) postmarriage (measured by women's use of the contraceptive pill). The empirical findings reveal that a higher bride price (as a share of total household marriage payments) has three main outcomes: it increases the predicted probability of women (i) using the contraceptive pill, (ii) spacing births further apart, and (iii) choosing to have fewer children.

Abstract:

Poverty due to the high marriage expenses in rural China has drawn considerable attention. In this paper, based on the data of the “Hundreds of Villages Survey in China” conducted in 2018, we analyze the characteristics, trends, and typological features of rural men’s marriage expenses, and identify the determinants of rural men’s marriage expenses types under the guidance of marriage exchange theory. With the help of latent profile analysis, multinomial logit analysis, and OLS analysis, this study firstly identifies four types of marriage expenses for Chinese rural men including the “bride price & marital house”, the “mixed”, the “bride price biased”, and the “marital house biased”, and secondly finds significant associations of educational level matching, occupational level matching, and type of urbanization with different types of rural men’s marriage expenses. If a rural man has a higher education than his wife, his marriage costs are less likely to be “bride price biased”, and when his occupational level is higher, his marriage cost is more likely to be “marital house biased”, which means greater financial pressure on him. Our research verifies the theory of marriage exchange into the quantitative analysis of marriage expenses for the first time, which effectively explains the reasons for the rising cost of marriage and provides an empirical basis for effectively managing this social problem.

Abstract:

The study aims at ascertaining the actual implication of bride pricing system in traditional marriages in Igbo land. A total of fifty respondents (thirty women and twenty men) from the five states that make up the southeast zone in Nigeria were selected for the study. Being a qualitative research, the study adopted the ethnographic research design and employed a purposive non-probability sampling method in selecting the respondents. The study made use of focused group discussions, unstructured interview and participants’ observation method as instruments of data collection. The collection of data lasted for a period of six months from June 2020 to November 2020. The research is anchored on Radical and Snail sense Feminism theories and data for the study were analysed using descriptive thematic method. Findings from the study reveal that payment of bride price does not reduce women to mere commodities in Igbo land. It also reveals that it gives undue privileges to men in Igbo land among other findings. Finally, it was shown that Igbo men and women still regard bride price payment as an important aspect of their culture which should not be abolished.

Abstract:

In the summer of 2020, a fragment of a cow's rib with a Cyrillic inscription was found at excavations in Novgorod. The place of the find is one of the richest boyar estates in the Lyudin quarter of medieval Novgorod. The time of the document hitting the ground is the last quarter of the 13th—the first twenty years of the 14th century. The inscription is fully preserved, it contains a whole readable message. The historical and cultural value of the find lies in the content of its compact inscription: it is unique evidence of a bride-price agreement. The terminology is of value: the bride, on whose behalf the text is written, and the groom (addressee) are designated not by their own names (Christian or pre-Christian), but by the images of the ritual folklore of the wedding — kuna ‘marten’ (she) and sobol’a ‘sable’ (he). The bride-price is no less interesting. The text communicates an idea of a dialogue between the two sides of the marriage ritual. The new evidence of the matrimonial rites and the associated oral-written communication expands our understanding of this sphere of medieval culture and allows us to correct some interpretations of the few birch bark letters on the topic of marriage.

Abstract:

This systematic review aims to make a significant contribution to knowledge on dowry and bride price practices in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, with a focus on Sudan, Zimbabwe and India. While, existing research evidences the ongoing prevalence of dowry and bride price among some migrant communities, there remains substantial gaps in research. The protocol is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. It highlights the scope and methodology for the systematic review to be conducted. Studies will be included if they: (i) were conducted in English; (ii) if they were published between December 1993 and December 2019 because this is the period the dowry-related violence was included into the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women (iii) used qualitative, quantitative methods or mixed methods; were peer reviewed or grey literature; and (iv) covered analysed dowry and bride price practices and its impact among migrant communities in the OECD countries. Data extraction will be informed by the Joanna Briggs Institute Review for Systematic Reviews and Research Syntheses. The quality of evidence of the studies included will be assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for qualitative and quantitative studies, the Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, Significance (AACODS) tool for grey literature and the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) tool for mixed methods studies. Kappa statistics agreement will be used as an additional step to ensure quality ratings are fair and valid. The findings will be summarised into themes and narrated.

Abstract:

According to the seven marriage couples and three fatwa givers which become of the subjects of thestudy, the mixture of the place for the bride and the groom is prohibited (haram) because it can provokefitnah, there is tabarruj, ask for the highest bride price, focus more on the gifts, and money from theguests and the other people who spread out the yellow rice. The doers don’t know the legal argumentsand even taqlid to the fatwa givers but they don’t have reliable arguments. The doers only argue that lifeof men and women should be separated as in salat and there is no nas that allows the bride and thegroom to sit next to each other. Ikhtilat is allowed to do in the market or workplace because was practicedduring prophet Muhammad SAW’ life. This argument is weak and hard to accept and it traps us becausethere is a great potency of disadvantage between Ikhtilat in the market and work place compared toIkhtilat in wedding reception.

Abstract:

In South Sudan, child marriage is often positioned as a cultural practice tied to conflict and displacement as well as gender norms affirming that girls should marry. Based on findings of a multi-sectoral gender assessment conducted by Save the Children in Rumbek, Torit, Malualkon, Bor and Kapoeta, our paper draws attention to multiple, connected drivers of child marriage. Drawing specifically on findings related to child marriage, we suggest the need to understand child marriage in the context of cycles of poverty and inter-clan fighting. In many communities, cattle form the basis for the ‘bride price’, driving cattle raiding, due to pressure on males to marry. The ability to pay the bride price may be an indicator of manhood in some pastoralist communities of South Sudan. We suggest that while humanitarian interventions tend to fixate on empowering girls or addressing gender norms girls face, less attention is placed on the ‘demand side’ of child marriage – on the gender norms pushing boys and men to marry girls. Our paper emphasises the importance of tackling norms from both the perspective of girls as well as boys and men within a broader context of improving livelihoods in South Sudan.

Abstract:

The article analyzes some aspects of women's equality in the context of changes in society during the formation of Soviet Kazakhstan. The first adopted legal provisions deal with marriage, divorce, bride kidnapping, bride price, levirate and other topics. The decision of the Central Executive Committee of the Turkestan SSR on the destruction of the “kalym” will also be published. According to the decree, all agreements on "kalym" were considered illegal, and violators of the provisions of the decree were held criminally liable before the court. However, after this decree was legally extended only to the Kazakhs, in 1923 the Central Executive Committee of Turkestan adopted a new decree that applied to all nationalities of the republic. The issue of women's equality was first raised at the All-Kazakh Congress in 1917 in Orenburg. The article analyzes the demands of the representatives of "Alash" in equalizing the position of women in political rights with men, the right to voluntarily marry, clarifying the consent of the bride upon marriage, establishing the age of marriage up to 18 years for men and 16 years for women, the abolition of “kalym”, levirate, consent of the first woman to marry the second wife.

Abstract:

The indigenous marital system giving belis ‘bride price’ practiced by the East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), Indonesia, is one of the Nusantara marital custom phenomena that today has developed and raised issues of both pros and cons which deserves critical scrutiny from Cultural studies and Anthropological perspective. Both perspectives facilitate the critical standpoint of the NTT society’s mindset summarized in the cultural or customary marriage rules requiring a marriage with belis. This study revealed that in the attitude towards belis, the East Nusa Tenggara women agreed and taken for granted the construction of their reality and power production through various discourses. Current practice of belis raises the economic capitalism up to the identity contestations. Lately, the essence and value of belis have changed and are likely to be more commercial. Even some may view it as mere a symbol and customary fixtures, such as in the region of Lamaholot imposing the elephant tusks, and the Allor society with their Moko as the payment methods of belis. Belis has left biggest challenge for the communities who are not able to afford higher bride-price objects, this consequently lead to a more emerging unlawful marriages as a resistance against the unresolved poverty problems.

Abstract:

The Perspective of al-Syafi’I on Partnership in Marriage In husband and wife relationships, contemporary couples prefer a partnership pattern rather than one of leadership. Although the latter is not necessary better than the former, it is obviously more accommodative of modern ideas of justice, egalitarianism and gender equality. This article aims to explore the connections between household partnership patterns, as fundamental to contemporary Muslim’s, and the traditional Islamic jurisprudence (fikih) most dominant among the diverse adherents of Islam. More specifically, this research describes al-Syafi`í thought. To explore the partnership patterns of married couples, it elaborates on three points: (1) the meaning of qawwamuna, (2) the concept of bride price and household expenses, and (3) interactions between husband and wife. The primary resource use in this research is al-Umm. This article concludes that Syafi’i jurisprudence implicitly accommodates the idea of partnership between marriage partners, as evident in (1) the acknowledgement of a woman’s right to choose her husband; (2) the bride price, which has both legal, formal and moral implications; (3) the co-understanding of the marriage partners in matters of household expenses and the emphasizing of discussion in solving financial problems; and (4) the use of good reason in dealing with household and personal conflicts.

Abstract:

The most prominent and pronounced form of casteism that prevails in the Nigerian society is the discrimination against Osus. Osu is a caste determined by heredity irrespective of the individual’s religious faith and practices. Though coming from a society where individual merit and achievement entitles one to the highest indigenous title and social prestige, Osus cannot aspire to one for their stigmatized caste status. Under the colonial influence, Osus became the first people to be educated, which made them the earliest Nigerian-Igbo elites, but this privileged class status too could not provide them an inroad into the mainstream of the Igbo society, which makes the Osu identity paradoxical. In this article, we attempt a reading of how the exclusionary practices of Igbo marriage ritual contribute in constructing the Osu identity as perpetually marginalized and, in doing so, how the Igbo society throws its preoccupation with individual merit and achievements as the keys to social respectability to the wind through Buchi Emecheta’s third novel The Bride Price. The novel is a study in different forms of marginalizations and liminalities, which raises questions about agency as it exposes the paradoxes on which the social life of a tribe is riveted.

Abstract:

The survival of the original reports of officials engaged in the Dufferin Inquiry (1887–88) from what is now Uttar Pradesh, enables us to have detailed descriptions of the extent of poverty in India’s countryside at that time. The details cover conditions of women, including their share in both domestic and field labour. One can infer the state of gender relations from these descriptions, with bride-price rather than dowry as the prominent institution. We are also able to see how caste customs also shaped women’s access to the labour market outside the home.

Abstract:

Pricing is not only oriented towards material profit, but also oriented to non-material values, such as cultural aspects. This study aims to reveal the accounting practices of Mandar culture in Majene, West Sulawesi, based on an ethnographic review of the meaning of Uang Panai for local communities and accounting practices in setting the price of Uang Panai. This study uses a qualitative approach with an interpretive paradigm. Data collection was done naturally through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and referring to the literature and previous research results. The data analysis technique uses a modified and simplified Spradley model without reducing and replacing the results of data analysis. The results of the study indicate that the determination of the price of Uang Panai in Mandar Majene is carried out to cover the costs of the wedding party. The process of determining the price of the panai money is carried out in four stages, namely messiq, negotiation, proposal, and mattandajari. The amount of panai can be influenced by the social status of the bride, such as occupation, education, and family power or authority. The price fixing process refers to conventional accounting theory, the concept of price fixers and price takers, and bargaining as in a perfectly competitive market. The results of this study can be used as a reference material for multi-paradigm Accounting learning. In addition, the community gains additional understanding that the amount of panai money depends on the agreement of the prospective bride's family.

There were three levels of maslahah theory, namely maslahah daruriyyah, maslahah hajiyyah, and maslahah tahsiniyah. Uang panaik was more inclined to maslahah hajjiyyah because it was a necessity in every marriage in Bugis Makassar community.

Abstract:

This study aims to explain the payment system and the form of brideprice recording in traditional marriages. These two things are important to note considering that brideprice payments spend assets in large and varied amounts. This study uses the interpretive paradigm with phenomenology methods. Interviews were conducted with 2 informants. The results of the study show that there are two bride price payment systems, namely payments with paid off systems and installment systems. As for the recording system, it is a simple record without any debit and credit separation column and only contains the name of the cost and amount, the timing of the brideprice and the two parties conducting custom marriage in accordance with the accounting constructed in the Indigenous tribe of Uma Duakun Belu-Indonesia.
