90 Day Fiance: Greg Is Baffled Upon Being Asked To Pay $3k As Dowry To Marry Joan — “Culture Is Culture!”

90 Day Fiance newbie Greg is in deep waters. He does not have a stable job but wants to marry Joan, who is from Uganda. Initially, the duo had issues with their living conditions. Greg lives with his mother, Lucille, and does not even pay rent. Moreover, his mother does all the household chores and is even the family’s sole earning member. Even in her old age, she goes out to work. Naturally, Lucille has a strong hold over the house and makes all the decisions.

Lucille wanted Joan to live separately. Furthermore, she had issues with Joan’s shower routine. Lucille was concerned that her water, electricity, and utility bills were increasing. She even talked about her concerns with Joan. The latter asked Greg to move out of her mom’s house and get his own place. However, Greg shared that he doesn’t have enough funds. Additionally, he has loans to pay and is in debt. Now, Greg has a huge dowry to pay on top of it all!

90 Day Fiance: Greg Gives A Shocking Reaction As Joan Reveals To Him About The Dowry Policy

Greg is evidently not in the best financial state, and his lack of a job is not helping the case. Greg still lives with his mother and does not pay rent. Additionally, he now had to pay for the wedding, the wedding dress, and all the customs. Joan’s family recently called her and asked how Greg was. She replied that he is “mostly great” and added that sometimes she feels a “little frustrated” with him.

Joan also told her family that she couldn’t decipher how she would live with Greg’s mom for two years. Greg does not have a stable income. Her family asked Greg to get a job. They also asked her to talk to him about dowry. As per Uganda, the man had to buy her 15 cows, which should all cost $200 each. Given his income, Joan doesn’t know how she would talk to Greg about the dowry. She added that they have their own personal issues. Furthermore, he’s not financially stable for now.

Joan then sat down with Greg to discuss the dowry. He was taken aback by it and asked her how realistic it was to afford 15 cows. Joan emphasized that it was her custom and that men could afford 15 cows in her culture. She even added that Greg could not afford them because he had no job. Greg feels it’s unfair for him to bear all expenses and even the “dowry.”

Joan ignored his reasons and said, “Culture is culture.” The couple had an intense conversation about it and reflected upon Greg’s unemployment. Fans shared that Greg should have thought about all of it before inviting Joan to the U.S.
