Ahead of marriages, many couples fancy having their proposals in public places and the ritual involves the man going down on one knee with an engagement ring in hand.
In recent times, some unorthodox ladies have shown that it is not only the place of men to kneel.

Quite interestingly, some of these ladies went as far as proposing to their boyfriends themselves.
For some men, it is their local tradition for a woman to kneel during a proposal.
Legit.ng spotlights three of such stories in this article.

He added that the Igbo tradition does not support a man kneeling during a proposal. In his words:
"The first man to command respect from a woman after several years of mistake.
"Igbo tradition doesn't support us to kneel for woman.
"As a custodian of culture, I abide by the rules.
"Submissiveness of woman builds a happy home.
"Eliza welcome.
"My ways are positively different.
"Story long."
Speaking with Legit.ng about how the proposal went, Felix narrated:
"Immediately I brought out the ring; I asked her to kneel oooo. It seemed strange to her, but she knelt down."
When asked about how he felt about the reactions that greeted his unpopular proposal style, he said:
"I felt good because an Igbo man can only bow down to his chi."

Lady proposes to her boyfriend at restaurant
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a lady had proposed to her boyfriend at a local restaurant.
She got the help of the restaurant assistant to secretly place a wedding ring near their table as if it were a gift. And then she went down on one knee and picked up the ring as her partner extended his hand for the ring to be placed.
Looking happy and satisfied, they embraced with joy and emotion, as shown by @onegenerationtv.
