In an interview with SVTV Africa, Miriam clarified that this fee is separate from the traditional bride price and is mandatory for marriage acceptance.

“My siblings and I left her house because her demands and rules were too much. We could not live by her rules. She kept telling us to marry rich men since they would pay the cost involved in bringing us to Germany. I am still single because we do not agree with her opinion.”
"The €4000 is a different amount from the traditional bride price. It is my father who will provide the bride price list but the potential partner must pay my mother first. She does not care if he has a residence permit or not,” Miriam added.

As a result, Miriam and her siblings, who share the same predicament, are still single, highlighting the challenges they face due to these demands.

“I paid €7000 to my mum for bringing me to Germany. She said she would labour to bring us abroad for someone to enjoy the results of her hardwork. She claims she does not want us to look cheap.”
