Don't pay bride-price on nonvirgins, Reno Omokri advises Nigerian grooms

Former  media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri on Monday took to the Social media to advise would-be groom not to pay bride price on any lady who is not a virgin, saying that, it is like making payment for what other men got for free.

Using the holy scripture as allusion, the ex-Presidential aide said that virginity is precious to God and ladies should keep their bodies from corruption as virginity is the gift they have for their husband upon marriage.

Read his submission below:

Paying bride price for non virgins is like paying for what other men got for free. 

Scripturally, bride price is ONLY paid for virgins (Exodus 22:17). That is why David paid a bride price for Michal (1 Samuel 18:25), but not for Abigail (1 Samuel 25:42). 

Save your virginity until marriage. 

Virginity is precious before God. So precious to the extent that when the Israelites went to war, they were not permitted to kill virgins (Numbers 31:18). 

And don’t say that grace allows you not to keep your virginity until marriage. Grace is not a license to sin (Romans 6:1-2)
