If a husband remarries, he must ask her permission.

Generally speaking, the marriage of Ebri's Egyptian children is decided by the father or uncle. If there are several daughters, the father has the right to betroth the eldest daughter to his good friend. Once the girl's father or uncle agrees to the marriage, the young man can give a marriage order. Wedding orders are usually sent twice. The first time is a girl's birthday. The young man personally sent a pair of bracelets and some potato pieces to the girl's father. The second time was on the wedding day, and the young man wanted to give his aunt a dowry. Dowry is usually CFA francs and a few pieces of cloth to make a "checkered" skirt. After the wedding, young people and girls became legal couples. At this time, if the girl does not agree to get married, the young man has the right to ask the girl's father for a bride price. When returning gifts, generally only the dowry is refunded, and no money is refunded. Ebri Ethiopians prohibit consanguineous marriage, underage marriage and forced marriage. Generally speaking, men and women from different regions and tribes can get married, but it is forbidden to get married if one of them is a Muslim or from a tribe that follows the patriarchal clan system. In real life, there is no fixed pattern in the marriage customs of Ethiopians in Ebri. After giving the bride price, especially the dowry, the young man can take the girl away and hold the wedding on another day. According to the present custom, both parents and family members must attend the wedding. At the beginning of the wedding, the groom will publicly announce that he wants to marry XXX and declare that he has paid enough dowry. Then, the groom gave a banquet in the guest house with guests attending the wedding. Ginger wine is an essential auspicious drink at the banquet.

After marriage, if one spouse is unfaithful to the other, it will lead to divorce in principle. However, this is not entirely the case in real life. In most cases, if the husband has an affair, he can just pay the cheated wife a compensation for his mistake, but if the wife is unfaithful to her husband, most of them end in divorce. Traditionally, for whatever reason, Ebli Egyptians are generally not allowed to divorce their wives. Divorce is only allowed under the following circumstances: First, between husband and wife, one party is unfaithful to the other, and apology and compensation are not enough to repair the broken feelings; Second, the husband and wife agreed not to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, and the husband agreed not to ask the woman for dowry; Third, when a husband abuses his wife, he poisons his wife. Under normal circumstances, neither husband nor wife will file for divorce first. Because, if the woman files for divorce first, she must repay her ex-husband's dowry before remarriage; If the man files for divorce first, the woman will not refund the dowry. After divorce, all the children are left to the father, but the mother has the right to visit the children regularly.

In terms of marriage, the Danes living in the western part of C? te d 'Ivoire are contrary to the custom that other tribes are forbidden to marry others, and it is stipulated that men of this tribe must choose women who worship different totem tribes as spouses before they can get married. After marriage, when the wife is found to have improper behavior, she will often be punished by material compensation, which will lead to divorce in some cases. After the incident, it is up to the husband to decide whether to punish or leave. If the husband wants to find an opportunity to abandon his dissatisfied wife, and the wife's misconduct is discovered by the husband at this time, and the bad wife is sent back to her family, the family must also pay him back. The lover of a bad wife will also be punished, and the cheated husband will get all the expenses for supporting his wife. If the cheated husband doesn't pursue the responsibility of cheating on his wife and wants to keep her, her family doesn't need to return the dowry, but the bad guy who seduces his wife should send some clothes to his couple and some wine and chicken to the old man who mediates the dispute to show his gratitude.
