Man arrested for visiting in-laws empty handed

A 60-year-old Ugandan man, identified as Samuel Maikut, found himself in police custody after visiting his in-laws to seek the hand of his lover in marriage without fulfilling the traditional requirement of bringing a dowry. The incident unfolded in Bukwo District when Maikut, the suitor, visited his in-laws’ residence without the expected dowry, leaving the bride-to-be’s family both shocked and angered. It was reported that Maikut, in an unconventional move, informed the family that he intended to marry their daughter in a traditional manner and thus expected them to bear the expenses of organizing the introduction ceremony.

The bride’s family reportedly invested a considerable amount, totaling $1200, in preparations for the ceremony, anticipating Maikut’s arrival with four cows and three goats, as had been agreed upon. However, when the eagerly awaited D-Day arrived, Maikut showed up empty-handed, violating the agreed-upon terms. Adding to the disappointment, Maikut arrived late, appearing 20 minutes behind the scheduled time of 5 pm. This tardiness, coupled with his failure to bring the promised dowry, led to a tense atmosphere. The bride’s family, understandably upset, interrogated Maikut regarding his failure to honour the agreement, to which he could not provide a satisfactory explanation.

Fearing escalating tensions and a potential physical altercation, the local authorities were summoned, resulting in Maikut’s arrest by the police. Subsequently, the 60-year-old expressed remorse for the unfortunate turn of events and pledged to compensate the bride’s family for the financial losses incurred due to the failed ceremony. Maikut, in his defense, shifted blame onto his organizing team, citing challenges that he failed to elaborate on. “I am sorry for what happened, but I am ready to discuss issues of compensation for the losses involved in the function,” the man said.

Ewad the full post below …
“Please post anonymous. My wedding is in 3weeks. My fiancée and my mum got into an argument. The first day we visited my fiancée house. They told us her parents are not married.
That if I’m serious about marrying their daughter, I should first sponsor their marriage. Which I did. I spent about 1.2million to throw a small marriage ceremony for my fiancée’s parents.
My mum is still angry because of that but she saw how much I love her, she kept quiet. Now they have given us an exorbitant list. My fiancée and her parent’s wears is 3.8million. What they budgeted for food. Both the cooking and food stuffs is 2.4million and others.
My mum got angry but because she doesn’t want to embarrass anybody, my mum called my fiancée outside. My mum told her that the feeding is too costly. That she (my mum) will handle that. Just to cut Our target is 200 guests.
My fiancée told my mum to mind her business. That this is her wedding and she (fiancée) don’t need any body to interfere. My mum asked her how much is she contributing to assist. My fiancée just hissed and walked away. Mummy entered the sitting room where we were all seated, took her bag and left in anger.
My elder sister pursued her and ended up not coming back. My mum told my elder sister what happened. My elder sister called me and told me and requested that my fiancée should call my mum and apologize. I told my fiancée and she flared up and said over her dead body.
Now the whole family is in support of my mum, including my dad. They said if I get married to her, they will disown me. Wife has refused to apologize. She is even saying I’m a mummy’s boy if I choose to support my family.
My trad and wedding is in 3weeks and 4week respectively. Every plan is on hold and fiancée said she doesn’t care. What can I do in all this?”
