In a fiery declaration that’s sparking heated debates across social media, a Ghanaian woman has slammed the tradition of bride price, insisting it is unnecessary and outdated. The woman, speaking passionately in a viral video, asked: “Who brought the idea of bride price?” — arguing that in the Bible, God gave Adam a wife without charging anything.
Viral Outrage
The video has ignited a storm online, with thousands sharing, commenting, and reacting. Supporters praise her boldness, calling her a “voice of reason” against outdated cultural practices. Critics, however, argue she is disrespecting long-held traditions that are central to many Ghanaian communities.
She Speaks Her Mind
In the clip, she passionately said:
“God didn’t ask Adam to pay a penny for Eve! So why are we still doing this today? It’s time to rethink!”
Her words have resonated with many young people questioning cultural norms around marriage and dowry practices.

The Bigger Picture
Experts note that debates like this reflect a wider generational clash, as young Ghanaians balance cultural expectations with modern views on equality and relationships. For now, one thing is clear: the conversation around bride price is far from over.
