56 pages. Dimensions: 9.5in. x 7.3in. x 0.2in.An in-depth, accessible study of the function of lobola - the bride price - in seven Southern African countries in which it is a widespread tradition and its practice is still common. The study considers this social institution in both matrilineal and patrilineal societies to show that almost without expection, the practice of paying the bride price results in the wife become the property not only of her husband but also of his extended family. It discusses how this impacts negatively on her reproductive rights - she becomes a child-rearing machine, has little control over family planning or her sexual health - and therefore on the health and development of the whole society. It argues that the institution of lobola, which is weakening in some circles but still widely condoned under the guise of the preservation of tradition, is incompatible with a basic standard of humanpersonal rights for women; calls for its abolition; and for governments to take a stronger lead in formulating laws that better protect womens marital and reproductive rights.
