 Traditional Kamba Marriage Depending on the time and location, there are variations in the Kamba marriage rites. Marriage may take place exclusively among circumcised people, much like other traditional African cultures. Therefore, it was taboo for people from the same clan to marry, which may be a precaution for inbreeding. The elders and relatives of the clan participated intimately within the marriage procedure. The pooled resources of clan were the protection of impoverished families, and agreed accords were also guaranteed. Contrary to African customs, marriage among Akamba was mostly based on mutual appeal feature. Before the commencement of the marriage process, this happened, the permission or acceptance for the bride being sought. Dowry is mostly like cows and goats; the family of the bride measures how well the bride is of husband and determines how well he is likely to care for her daughter. The number of animals brought to the bridal household remains well counted. Ntheo Ngaasya Mathaa Ilute :: Kamba Traditional Customary Ritual
