The Kikuyu Dowry is about 99goats, which is usually estimated at 100goats.
The Dowry these days is usually monetized so if you know the cost of a goat, you should have an idea of what it will cost you.
A goat costs between ksh5,000 to ksh18,000 so you’re looking at about ksh 500,000 to negotiate from.
The Dowry payment usually lasts a lifetime but the groom is required to pay a certain amount before he takes the bride and continues after marriage.
Depending on the family, you will survive 😉 !
