Trading daughters for cows in Africa 🐄 #video#Africa What does an engagement party look like in rural Tanzania? Men gather to negotiate the dowry, and it will be paid in cows! She's young and uneducated? Take 15 cows, but if your daughter is already 13 and likes going to school? 'You'll get no more than 5! They say here that cows are more valuable than daughters, because unlike girls, cows stay with the family. Educated girls are not in demand, because, ‘they want a say in everything’. It is against the law to marry off underage girls and any father caught doing so could face up to 30 years in prison. Even so, child marriage is still commonplace in much of Tanzania. Kristina was married off at 13, but luckily, she was rescued. Her father escaped jail time, but she says he was still very upset about having to give the cows back. Follow: https://t.me/rtdocumentary
