In todays episode, we look at the Frafra traditional marriage – including all details and the list of items needed for the ceremony to be complete. If you’re a Frafra lady preparing to settle down or a man intending to marry a lady from this tribe, it is essential to understand the culture and that is one of the missions of Kente Knots.

The Frafra Traditional List.

There are 5 stages involved in the marriage process and here is the breakdown. These are the knocking, Customary rites, Hand running, rites for children and the dowry.

1. Knocking at the Door

This is the first step in the traditional marriage process, where the groom’s family officially makes their intentions known to the bride’s family. The following items are presented as part of this custom:

  • Smoked Guinea Fowls
  • Tobacco
  • Kola Nuts
  • Local Gin

3. Customary Rites (Hand Running)

This stage occurs when the brides family has agreed to the mans proposal. They invite he and his family and friends over to “drink over”. The items presented by the groom at this stage is for that ceremony.
