According to them, if a lady decides not to continue with her marriage, custom requires her family to return the bride price, which they have done, but he has refused to take it.
Regina's relatives observed that if a man refuses to collect the bride price, the community has the authority to deposit money in a designated spot. They described the alleged detention and harassment of the woman’s relatives as unjust and unfair.
Read part of the letter below:
“Open Letter to Senator Ned Nwoko. Senator Nwoko, with due respect to your office and person, I must express deep disappointment over your recent actions concerning our sister and her family. As a people, we, the Ogwashi-Uku community, value peace, fairness, and respect for our cultural traditions.
“Marriage, by our custom, is never by force. When disputes arise between husband and wife, our tradition requires that such matters be taken before the kinsmen for resolution. Furthermore, if the woman decides not to continue in the marriage, custom demands that her family return the bride price. In this case, the family has made every effort to do so, but you have, allegedly, refused to accept it.
“Traditionally, when a man declines to collect the bride price, it is within the community's right to deposit it at a recognised location, in this instance, Ikeleke Quarter in Ogwashi-Uku. This act formally concludes the marital obligation.
“However, the reported arrest and intimidation of the woman’s family is unacceptable, oppressive, and an affront to both our people and our long-standing traditions. The Ogwashi-Uku community is known for peace, not fear - and we cannot stand by while our customs and dignity are trampled upon.”
