JUBA – A Western Bahr el Ghazal state man has stabbed his own wife to death over an apparent dowry dispute with his in-laws, Eye Radio quoting a senior local government official, reports.

According to the Kuajiena Payam director Eissa Marko Ujuomo, the incident occurred, according to the victim’s relatives, when the man went to the home of his in-laws while they were away, and fought with his wife who had been recalled due to unpaid dowries.
“The information is that this man did not pay any dowry to the family and the woman was withdrawn from him but last night, the man came home to the wife in absence of the family and he asked the woman to go with him,” he said.
“When the woman refused, he started fighting the woman till he stabbed her woman to death,” he added.

Malual Jiernyang Muonyjieng/ community don’t like bullies low lives. my cousin Ms. Abuor Nhial was married to Mr. Chuordit. Mr. Chuordit even transported many cattle from Aweil community when I was suckling baby here to Jonglei. I had never spoken to my cousin MS. Abuor for over over a month now.
One her daughter is here is here here Jonglei state, if there were anything with her parents, she would had let us know. SPLM/A boys/girls like Mr. Kuol Manyang, Dr. John Garang, Michael Makuei Lueth proposed that girls have to be married with 30 cattle or less, long times ago.
But here in greater upper Nile, the Dinkas/Nuers/Anyuaks/ Mabans or Murles, said, that is not going to happen. They love their daughters, women here in the Sudan are what who bring ‘weather to communities’. When I was in Canada sometimes ago, a South Sudanese was taken to Canada by her daughters, he went asked one of his daughters who was not married, to get married to Canadian boy, and to take back his own daughter back to Sudan (then united Sudan).
His daughters told him, you get your cattle dad. He wanted to make a scene, other Canadians and one of South Sudanese told the elder, your daughters are Canadian babies. The elder said the Canadian didn’t give birth to my daughters, the Canadian helped them when the War played games with them in the Sudan. The elder said, well, he would want to talk to people helped her daughters and he give them some pay for their helps to his daughters.
Those South Sudanese women are in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Bully women at your own risk.
