What were the suitors offering in dowry?
Athiak became the centre of attention after the wealthy suitors competed for her in a dowry showdown. Marial Garang Jiel had pledged 105 cows and 2,000 dollars (R366k) to secure her hand in marriage.
Chol took time to reveal the dowry he was offering, but he was rumoured to pay 350 cows and a Toyota V6.
Apart from the above, he would also build a standalone four-bedroom house for Athiak's family.
Social media reactions
Netizens took to the comments and added their opinion.
Zubeda Shaban asked:
"What stops her from smiling? Does it mean she is not happy about her marriage?"
Eunice Gumbo complimented:
"Congratulations to you and your beautiful marriage. May the good lord continue to protect and guide you in all your endeavours."
Aisha Kaylow reacted:
"This girl doesn't look happy at all. It looks like she's been forced to smile."
Diana Cheruto Boyels said:
"Waa! She never smiles, why?? Or it is taboo in South Sudan to smile as a bride?"
