Meet Athiak Dau Riak, a 19-year-old girl who stands at 7 feet tall and most importantly a virgin, whose marriage has gone viral this week in South Sudan. Two men from different communities are competing for her, with one pledging 105 cows and 65 million South Sudanese pounds ($20,000)
The other man is yet to reveal the dowry he is paying, but rumors have it that he will pay 350 cows or more, including a Toyota V6 and a standalone four-bedroom house to the girl’s family
In Dinka culture, marriage is not all about dating a girl but it is about your character and hers with good family background. As long all is studied to be clean, your family will agree and start to approach the girl with her family. If she is beautiful, different men may arise to compete
This is the culture we are being told is backward. Imagine the respect and pride the girl is bringing to her family.
