What do you mean he don't want to what man in the west would buy his wife this should have been something spoken about from the start as again not many in the west would do this and the ones that would I don't imagine would pay for nothing especially not love as your asking he to be a part of something the West see as disgusting

@boggboss I think you misunderstand the reasoning for the bride price. It's got nothing to do with slavery or prostitution. It's all to do with the fact that money is not easy to come by in these countries and every person in the family has to contribute. If you take away a member of that family by marrying them, then you're responsible for taking away party of their livelihood. This is where the bride price comes in. Hope that helps explain things.

So who creates the prices for them as at that point having kids is simply a business meant for entrancing those with money to pay for them sounds like buying people to me which is a form of slavery mate even if not as insidious

Having kids for the sake of keeping your family going has and still is a valid way of life in some places. We did it here in the UK during the Victorian era and likely before that too. I'm not an expert on it, I can't tell you everything but I was in Thailand and learned about it there. It's not insidious, it's just a given fact.

I fully get that but she is asking what to do because a guy in the USA is not going along with this and I'm simply stating most guys in the west wouldn't pay for his bride as if he is buying her from the family that is also a fact and it don't need to be insidious to be seen as a form of slavery and yes we may have practiced it but we dropped many practices we no longer see as acceptable just as child labour and inbreeding which where practices of the past

It's all well and good saying we dropped, but the reason we dropped it is because our economies and some of the strongest in the world and the vast majority of people aren't struggling to survive. It's a completely different mentality and set of circumstances.

That being said, I agree that most Western men wouldn't. A friend of mine did, because he loved the woman and did what he had to do. It's as simple as that. No one is forcing a bride on you, if you fall in love with someone then you either do what is required to be with them, or you don't.

You’re a grown ass woman. If you love him, move to be with him.

Also, I haven’t seen a thing online about the Philippines having bride prices as a tradition practiced today.
