“He Even Came Late”: Man Arrested after Visiting In-Laws With Dowry, He Pleads Guilty

• A 60-year-old man was arrested for not bringing dowry to his in-laws
• He asked them to pay for the introduction ceremony and broke the agreement
• He apologised and promised to repay them for the cancelled ceremony

The incident took place in Bukwo District, where the man, Samuel Maikut, went to his in-laws’ home without the expected dowry, shocking and angering the family of his bride-to-be.

According to Ugandan Monitor, Maikut reportedly told the family that he wanted to marry their daughter in a traditional way and asked them to cover the costs of the introduction ceremony.

The family of the bride spent a large sum, amounting to N1.2 million naira, on the preparations for the ceremony, expecting Maikut to come with four cows and three goats, as they had agreed.

However, when the long-awaited day came, Maikut arrived empty-handed, breaking the terms of the agreement.

To make matters worse, Maikut was late, showing up 20 minutes after the set time of 5 pm. His lateness and his lack of dowry created a tense situation.

The family of the bride, understandably annoyed, questioned Maikut about his failure to keep his promise, but he could not give a convincing answer.

As the situation threatened to turn violent, the local authorities were called, leading to Maikut’s arrest by the police.

Later, the 60-year-old apologised for the unfortunate outcome and promised to reimburse the family of the bride for the money they lost due to the cancelled ceremony.
