It appears that men offer proposals to the women and they decline or accept. This is shown when both Ezinma and Obiageli refuse marriage proposal in Mbanta in favor of marrying in Umuofia.

A further consideration is whether the man has enough money to pay the bride-price. Okonkwo was unable to pay the bride-price for Ekwefi when he was young, and Ekwefi subsequently ran off to him years later. It is unknown if any consideration was paid to Ekwefi's former husband by Okonkwo.
