Gambian Bride Receives Cash for Passing Virginity Test

Gambian Bride Receives Cash for Passing Virginity Test

In a remarkable display of traditional customs, a Gambian bride, Meta Mbye, has become the center of celebrations after passing a virginity test on her wedding day. The joyous occasion was captured in a video shared on TikTok, showing family members in a state of elation.

Meta’s adherence to tradition was rewarded by her husband with a generous cash gift of D28,000 (equivalent to about N300,000 in Naira), a gesture of his happiness and pride. This sum was thoughtfully placed under her pillow as a symbol of appreciation.

The event was marked by an air of anticipation and excitement as one relative recounted waiting outside during the test. After the positive result, elders present lauded Meta’s mother for her role in nurturing a ‘pure’ woman, a testament to their cultural values.

However, the video and the practice itself have sparked a debate online. While many congratulate Meta for maintaining her virginity until marriage, aligning with their cultural beliefs, others raise concerns about the practice of virginity testing, calling it outdated and demeaning. This juxtaposition of views highlights the diverse opinions surrounding traditional practices in modern contexts.
