Yes, I certainly agree with you, I can see that bride price is a tradition and not a payment to buy a women or her love. In western society it is tradition that the bride's parents pay for the wedding, which may include the following:
wedding dress for the bride, dresses for the flower girl, cost of the church service, priest or celebrant, flowers, and the biggest cost the reception. It is also tradition for the groom or groom's parents to pay for the cars and the alcohol and the wedding rings as well as the clothing for the grooms men, the list goes on. The cost can be kept small, but the cost can be over the top. It is also a tradition that guests bring along a present if attending the reception or if not attending the reception a present is a tradition. Many families also feel that if the marrying couple do not have a church wedding with the exchange of vows and a reception the marriage is doomed. So as you can see tradition can be hard to break.
