It use to be that live stock was given, to the family.
Or land or a house ( these are mud homes) But if the Groom came from far away then money is given in replacement and equal to the amount of live stock that would have been given.
example 22 cows and 1 bull each cow is $500 the bull is $1500... 20 goats at $100 each, 15 checkens and a rooster $20 for hens $40 for Rooster....it is negotiated during several meetings or over time with the familes, groom and elders or clergy.
If the man loves the women... her value is beyond what he can afford but he should ask that the family help him as he loves her and she loves him and ... so the negotiation goes....
There are many Sudanese familes in countries all around the world now.
The family should be able to help with this info. Some will have to do with family tradition's and tribe tradition's also...
Best Wishes!
