In parts of Africa the validity of a traditional marriage ceremony depends on the payment of a bride price, which can vary from a token amount to an exorbitant sum. Lobola is a similar tradition in southern Africa. The MIFUMI Project in Africa [2] held a referendum in Tororo, Uganda in 2001 on whether a Bride Price should be a non-refundable gift and held an international conference on the Bride Price in Kampala, Uganda in 2004. It also issued a preamble position in 2008.[3]
