Article 29: The dowry is fixed at 3 cows: one for the girl, two for the father and mother.
One thing I noticed about medieval west Africa and even pre medieval times is that the cattle or cow is a big currency. The cow is a bid currency because of their milk and the offspring they bear. Even today some places and tribes in west Africa herd their cattle and trade them. Also being a sign of a abundance of wealth.- Abdoulaye Gueye
Article 4: The society is divided into age groups. Those born during a period of three years in succession belong to the same age-group. The members of the intermediary class between young and old people, should be invited to take part in the making of important decisions concerning the society
I find this Interesting because, today in many west African societies you are bundled are within a friend group as your age group. The age group are usually anything between 3 years. And middle-aged people are usually in charge of holding ceremonies or functions. - Abdoulaye Gueye
