Benadus Okemba v. Okoko Aran, (PC) Civ. App. 110-M-66, 16/11/67, Cross J.
Plaintiff claimed 11 cattle as part of bride wealth due to be refunded to him. He and his bride had gone their separate ways, she being “the guilty party.” He had given 14 cattle for her. These had been returned, but their 11 offspring had been retained. He based his claim, at least in part, on the argument that no valid marriage had occurred. There was, however, “ample evidence that the marriage ….. in fact took place and was consummated.”
Held: The offspring of bride wealth animals are the property of the person lawfully receiving the bride wealth. [Citing Government Notice 279 of 1963, paragraph 16.] Plaintiff’s appeal dismissed.
