Her life?
All those cows will be given to her parents, grandparents and brothers
This isn't as enlightened as the Islamic mehr system
Her name is Arual Cyer Mayar Cyerdit -- a model

Yeah, but it better not be used to increase the already inflated dowry; this is creating resentment toward the adeers that are marrying beautiful young women

The average valuation of a cow in the USA is between $2,000 and $4,000 according to Google. The average valuation of a sheep in the USA is $100 to $150 according to Google. These prices can vary from country to country, breed to breed, market to market and how well you negotiate and raise your livestock. One could easily negotiate far more per head.
However, let us be conservative and let us go with the lowest valuations per head then do some simple arithmetic:
2,000 * 252 = $504,000
50 * 100 = $5,000
Bisinka, South Sudanese reer tuulo sitting on some decent assets. Time to invade...

The strange thing about this is that we don't use cows for meat -- unless it's a special occasion
We essentially use cows as currency; and as sources for milk and other dairy derivatives. People raid for them; die for them; give them names; and ones with certain colour variations are used to formalise forgiveness and peace between communities. Our world revolves around cattle.
After they migrated out of the homeland, the Maasai-Samburo were apparently so offended that other groups would dare claim the right to rear cattle when they came across them in Kenya-Tanzania.
That definitely sounds like us

Proper NS/AA NE African cattle pastoralism culture. Mashallah. Rest assured that I intend to do deep-dives into NS peoples in time on AM. Genomic analyses, literature reviews, long write-ups, historical reconstruction. I got love for our other half, walaalkay.

That is some African Mad max sh*t; people might call me an extremist for this, but people that put out debased music and imagery like that should be forced to go on the frontlines of our African wars

What’s the dowry situation like in South Sudan ?

Incredibly high for those that have some cattle wealth left; most people can't afford to fork over 50-100 cows, but it was around that figure prior to the Second Sudanese civil war in the 80s.
Even in the West, we spend a fortune to get married; my half sister (same father) got married to my mum's cousin for around 83k; and my distant relative got married for 80k a couple of years ago

Damn, I have a question a bit off topic before dinkas and other nilotes converted to christianity what was the previous faith of the dinka people? I'm curious

Our religion was already somewhat similar to Christianity before we converted to Christianity en mass in the 80s; God (Nhialic) was the creator of the heavens and earth and his son (Deng) was our intermediary between us and the holy father.

Oh a bit similar to somalis, the reason why somalis converted so easily to islam and quickly compared to other regions was because somalis believed in a monothestic God already

Was it her choice? I really despise dowry systems. What does that say about you that you can put a numerical value on a woman?

Most of the women (even in the West) see it as normal, admirable or re-affirmations of their worth; and the taller, prettier the girl... the higher the dowry
I've broached the idea (to women) that we should do away with the whole bloody thing, only to be met by protestations about not wanting leave for another family for free
It will only disappear once we develop and modernise
