Eldu Payam authorities in Heiban County of Nuba Mountains set minimum bride price of the traditional marriage.
Toro Mayor in Debi town Zubeir Suleiman Kuku said the community reduced the pride price to two cows and two he-goats, Voice of Peace reported.
He said Toro community condemned other extra demands by in-laws.
Mr Kuku claimed that many girls in the society gave birth to children without fathers due to high bride price imposed by parents.
He urged parents to stop demanding girls’ school fees from husbands because educated girls benefit all communities.
Mr Kuku explained that paying bride price was a respectful way of guaranteeing a wife to a husband.
He advised Toro community to comply with the new customary law of paying two cows and two he-goats.
