•The moral, economic and human rights consequences of bride price in South Sudan and Australia
81% Informative
A groom's family pays a bride's family for the marriage, usually in cattle.
A bride can 'cost' a young man's family AU$50,000 to AU$100,000.
The practice is a big part of the Dinka tribe in South Sudan , where it is still widely practiced.
Bride price is incompatible with international human rights law.
Using the law to make bride price illegal would, at first glance, look like the obvious solution.
But it is not the most effective response because it would not stop people from obeying the custom.
Instead, governments should start an open conversation with the people concerned.
A community education campaign would not be resisted as an imposed solution and would be more likely to change people's views gradually.
