ENGLISH TRANSLATION

As written earlier, Yoruba traditional marriage gift lists from the Groom’s family to the Bride’s family differ from one family to the other, but the items for prayers such as Honey, Kola, Alligator Pepper, Bitter-kola are common to all. For many Yoruba families, the number of items collected such as Kola, Bitter-kola, Alligator Pepper, Dry Fish and Yam are forty. The Paternal Head of the Bride’s family can use his initiative to limit the items on the list in order to reduce the Groom’s expenses. After the ceremony, the items are shared equally between the Bride’s Paternal and Maternal family with exception of the items for the Bride. Check below a sample of Traditional Bridal List from Arinmajagbe family of Iboropa-Akoko, Ondo State.
