AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY: Getting married as a Bamileke

How do I know the traditional and list from the bride family? How much will that cost in dollars or pounds if I needed to send cash to have them purchased?

I really need to know dear since you know so much about Bamileke
What is the significance of the father's family having the baby's umbilical cord in the village?

I intend to become married to African spirituality.

Certainly family involvement is much less in 2nd marriages or with older people who are living abroad

Sounds like Bamileke traditions are basically the same as the vast majority of non-western cultures. Marriage is communal act in most of the world.

I'm happy to find your video. I'm African American and just got my DNA results that I'm Bamileke from 🇨🇲 Cameroon.

What about about the polygamy element of Bamileke?

Hello!!! This was a great post! Is the Bamileke people against letting the man marry a black American woman

I have to a box full of clothes, shoes, jewellery etc among many other gifts to the family of the bride… No wonder in the modern day practices that the husbands easily away, take a mistresses but avoid any sort of bidding commitments.There are countless unmarried couples with children. These unwedded couples mostly prevalents in cities as oppose in the urban / villages. Divorce is always messy but it happens….no taboos about that.

I was born in Jamaica, raised in America, and today I found out that my ancestors are the Bamileke people from Cameroon. This so exciting. I am ready to learn about my people.

We had this here in Black America until my parent's generation (I'm in my 50's). My parents were introduced by their parents. Their parents were introduced by their parents. It wasn't as formal anymore, meaning the children were given a chance to make a choice, but they would be quick to pull their child out of there if they thought the circumstances were no good and forbid the child to see that person. There's no dowry that I know of. We had elders and families sticking their hands in all the younger people's choices. That's why the marriages used to last lol.

Hi Ida, what about sacrifices ? Do you think that it's still something that we have to do ? Because I read an article which explains that a sacrifice is done to give energy to the ancestors and to God but, God doesn't need us to help him. He is all powerful. So what do you think about it ?
