A crash course in changing the world.
Dowry in Rwanda is paid by a family of the man to his prospective bride's family. Many women see it as an indication of their value to society and have no interest in changing this element of their culture.
Traditionally the dowry is paid in cows, though nowadays for people living in the city cash is more useful. When a cow is given, the first calf born would traditionally be given back to the young married couple. This culture of using the cows will remain only in the villages and replaced by the money in the town. For now, many people like to live in the town; our boys (children) will use the money then that the parents have used the cows. We should retain back in the village for showing the children our culture.
