Ladies of Cameroon for Marriage. Unlike other countries of the world, ladies of Cameroon for marriage celebrations are usually held on the second night of the consummation. Family and friends come to the house of the newly wed couple to have authentic Cameroon meals.

Customs and Traditions
Polygyny is permitted by law and tradition, but polyandry is not. Because of the importance attached to customs and traditions, laws protecting women are often not respected. Despite the law, many girls are married off by their families by the age of 12. Forced marriage is usual in Cameroon.

Cameroon Virgins
In Cameron, Mahr (dowry) for virgin girls amounts to 30 thousand Cameroonian franks. If the girl tells the proposing man that she is not virgin, then he will usually pay no money and the dowry is reduced to some cheap clothes.

Cameroon youth who are serious about marriage, usually search for virgin girls. If the man does not find a virgin he does not hesitate in proposing to a non virgin because Zina is spreading in Cameroon at an alarming rate.
