Before the marriage, a special ceremony was conducted. The groom and his kin had to throw an important party known as “ntheo” which was the minimum threshold that demonstrated that the bride officially belonged to the man she was engaged to. Source Elimu Asilia

 

Kamba Ntheo Ngasya Dowry :: Top Traditional Customary Marriage

Kivathukanio kya Ntheo na Ngasya:
NTHEO, ni ndivi ya mbui ili mwanake unenganae kwa muthoni/syitae atwaa mwiitu, mbui sya ntheo ni kavalika na kathenge itesi kusembany’a, unless ketha mwiitu ula inquestion ena mwana wa iko noathewe na mioma ya mbui….

NGASYA ni utalo wa mali ila mwamina kuthea, matalilawa ta ndivi ya muka, ngasya kwa mfano nowitw’e ng’ombe nyanya,mbui miongo ina na mbesa valivali.Ntheo involves the groom presenting goats, including an uncastrated male goat, to the bride’s family to demonstrate she belongs to him. Key parts of Ntheo include slaughtering a goat and the bride and groom eating its meat, as well as serving drinks.
