Description

The Becheve people of Obanliku Local Government Area, Cross River State have an age-long PROUD practice called, ‘money woman’, where a girl’s parents exchange their daughter for money — as a collateral for a loan, property and even food.
Sometimes, these girls also get married to the person, to whom they are collaterals. In that case, they call it, 'Money Woman Marriage'.

These girls are subjected to supposedly outlawed and archaic principles of forced marriage, forced labour, slavery, and indentured servitude.
