and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price The actual payment of money sometimes

takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent The amount of paid in a bride price can also vary In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic However, the bride

Trang 4

Trang 4/4 - Mã đề: 151

represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride's family has gone in order to raise her and bring her

often be repaid in case of divorce, the bride's family often works to make sure that any marital problems are

solved quickly Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures Wealthier

families can afford to support the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families

C. Without having to pay the bride price, African men would not respect their family members

D.Sometimes the bride's family has to return the bride price to the groom's for equal distribution of wealth.

Question 44 It can be inferred from the paragraph 2 that African families _

A. place great importance on childbirth B. pay the bride price on the day of the wedding

C. never see their daughters after marriage D. place more value on men than women

Question 45 The word "prominent" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

Question 46. Why does the author mention "the payment of money" in paragraph 1?

A. To demonstrate the differences in how rich and poor families pay the bride price

B. To stress that the use of goods in the payment of bride price is most common

C. To demonstrate how expensive a bride price can be sometimes

D. To illustrate how the practice of bride price has changed over time

The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part of many African cultures In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must provide payment to the family of the bride before the marriage is allowed The bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in Africa In the Zulu and Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle In Western African, kola nuts, shells,

and other goods are often used for the payment of the bride price The actual payment of money sometimes

takes place, but the payment of goods is more frequent The amount of paid in a bride price can also vary In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is mainly symbolic However, the bride

price can still be quite high, especially among prominent or highly traditional families

There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride price The first is that the bride price

represents an acknowledgement of the expense the bride's family has gone in order to raise her and bring her

up as a suitable bride for the groom It also represents payment for the loss of a family member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband's family and will leave her own On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for the fact that the bride will bring children into the family of the groom, thereby increasing the wealth of the family This concept is reinforced by the fact that the bride price must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children

The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society First, the payment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family structures Sons are dependent on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay the bride price of their wives, and this generally leads to greater levels of obedience and respect The negotiations between the two families concerning the bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to know one another before the marriage Finally, since the bride price must

often be repaid in case of divorce, the bride's family often works to make sure that any marital problems are

solved quickly Bride prices also work as a system of wealth distribution in African cultures Wealthier

families can afford to support the marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families
