Dodel : 100 000 F pour les célibataires, 50 000 F pour les femmes déjà mariées… le village réforme les règles de la dot
In Dodel, the customs associated with family ceremonies are set to change. Following discussions between the village chief, the imam, officials, and the local population, several decisions have been made to reduce expenses and also to put an end to folklore and practices deemed superfluous during ceremonies.
Among the most significant measures is the reform of the rules relating to dowry. From now on, young girls who have never been married will receive a dowry set at 100,000 CFA francs, while that of women already married is set at 50,000 CFA francs.
Beyond the dowry, discussions also focused on how to celebrate weddings, baptisms, and other family ceremonies. It was decided that these events should now be conducted with the utmost simplicity, with the aim of reducing expenses and eliminating practices associated with folklore.
Excessive noise and entertainment are also affected by these new regulations. Anything considered noise must now be eliminated, in order to promote more subdued ceremonies that respect the tranquility of the village.
Solidarity among women will still be encouraged. They will be able to continue supporting each other at various ceremonies. However, this support will no longer be recorded in a booklet, a practice that helped maintain certain social obligations from one ceremony to the next.
The new rules also apply to funerals. From now on, no bereaved family will be required to prepare lunches for three days for those who come to offer their condolences.
It was also decided that those attending the funeral would no longer have to remain at the deceased's home for the entire duration of the mourning period. The aim is to allow the family to grieve in greater peace and quiet.
Through this consultation, the people of Dodel want to establish a new approach to ceremonies: less spending, less folklore and more simplicity and solidarity.
