Woman's head speared in desperate move to secure dowry
Cultures are becoming torturing.
Last night, the twenty sixth of January I had robbed a sleep only to be awoken by a gun shot. My heart bumped thinking it was the normal stuff of Kakuma: looting.
Minutes passed and I received a phone call to attest it was an attack in group nine in line with Fashoda Primary School opposite Rajaf Police Station.
As I welcomed these gentlemen into the school, they told me that a day after, their colleaque eloped with a lady and when told to return her, they refused. They told me they spent the whole day in the lagga to make it to Nimule Primary School in the evening to hear what would happen.
At Eleven O'clock at night, these people (lady's relatives) after warning severally broke into the group breaking the gate.
Men who used to be in the group all escaped some through an opening under the fence.
With this wrath if not scaring to get dowry, women who were found were beaten. One unlucky woman whom I learned came recently from Sudan got a spear in her head.
Noise rose forcing the police to shoot into the air as the gentlemen said.
This intervention by the police led to sneaking of these unidentified people even if they were suspected to be the lady's relatives who marched all the way from Hongkong to zone six at that time of the night.
Especialists from Dinka criticise it's unfair to torture women in the culture. Well, that marriage can be said to be unofficial and unacceptacle to elope with a lady.
This issue of undesirable behaviours is ill mannered.
Torture can't be an implication of any culture.
Fine enough to torture men but women can't be touched. It's great violation.
In areas like Kakuma where insecurity looms, you may chase a person and risk misfortune on the way.
Elsewhere too.
Lotuho of Sudanese Equatoria have similar torture if the man fails to marry or pay dowry.
The rest may have even if I haven't learnt about theirs as well.
Things like scarification among Nuer to initiate boys to join age set are frustrating. If not done to a Nuer boy until he becomes a toothless old man, he still can be called a boy even by boys and can't be angered.
Lotuho, let a boy run for three hours or more without resting or drinking water. This boy can be accompanied by many people who when tired rest and another person who is energetic joins in chasing the boy with canes incase he stops, tired. This is a step to join age set.
These are dying down but still practised in villages. Varying cultures are changing but some areas can't, totally. Some who are civilised cannot entertain these. When it comes to their marriages where they need parents, there are rites performed which force them to go back to these cultures.
African cultures are different. Issues of beating of people and paying of dowry are laughing matters to other nationalities of Africa.
To Muslims dowry is paid to the bride.
That's not what am up to. Your culture is essential where it doesn't limit rights of other people.
Dinka of Sudan think that if a lady is not accompanied, no dowry or less will be paid or the husband thinks the lady has no people to accompany her.
It's good to pay dowry to those who practise it to compensate for parental care.
To those who don't pay dowry there is a valid reason not to be disputed for it remains helpful.
As am talking to you, men from the group are arrested and the girl is found. The step ahead is marriage if it will be acceptable all after all is done wrong. It needs care.
If police had fumed to shoot not into the air but on target confusedly, you can imagine what regret it could bring.
