Masenha Musile v. Sabe Balalu, (PC) Civ. App. 206-D-67, 16/4/68, Saudi, J.
At issue is the repayment of bridewealth to the husband upon the dissolution of a customary marriage which had lasted “ a long time” and which union produced three offspring . Both the primary and district courts ordered the return of part of the original bride wealth to the husband.
Held: The husband was entitled to the return of none of the bridewealth which he had originally paid because of the long duration of the marriage and the fact that there were children. [Citing Customary Law Declaration, para. 52(b)]. Ordered that no bride wealth be refunded to appellant.
