Bridewealth is negotiated between the couple's families; it does not involve the couple themselves. Frequently the items go to a range of male kin---the bride's father, brothers, paternal grandfathers, and so on. Sometimes the bridewealth is transferred in installments. Once the bridewealth is fully paid, the bride becomes a member of the groom's family. Her relationship with her own patrilineage is of secondary importance. Her role is to care for her husband's livestock and produce male heirs. In some cultures, the husband's family can demand compensation if the bride is unfaithful. If she is unfaithful, there is no way of knowing if her sons are her husband's sons. Nowak, B., & Laird, P. (2010).
