Political activist and writer, Reno Omokri has sparked a debate online after he said according to the scriptures, bride price should only be paid for brides who are virgins.
“What I am going to say will shock people. Scripturally, Bride Price is ONLY paid for virgins. Don’t argue with me. Argue with God. See Exodus 22:16-17. By virtue of Scripture (and also in traditional African society), you pay no Bride Price for non Virgin.

In other tweets, he faulted the use of churches, priests or pastors to conduct what he referred to as scriptural marriages; as a scriptural marriage was supposed to be, ‘a family affair and ONLY involves the groom, bride and parents. Feast is optional. Not mandatory.’
I’ve read Scripture from cover to cover, in multiple languages. No scriptural wedding is conducted by a priest or pastor, or in church. Scriptural marriage is a family affair and ONLY involves the groom, bride and parents. Feast is optional. Not mandatory#RenosNuggets #EndSARS

You dont need priests to wed. Some cite the wedding in Cana as proof Christ officiated weddings. False. He attended as a GUEST. Yes, He turned water to wine. If that is your claim, then let the priest imitate Christ and turn water into wine at your wedding#RenosNuggets #EndSARS
