Bridewealth functions as: security or insurance for the good treatment of the wife, a mechanism to stabilize marriage by reducing the possibility of divorce, a form of compensation to the brides lineage for the loss of her economic potential and childbearing capacity, a symbol of the union between two kin groups, a mechanism to legitimize traditional marriage, the transference of rights over the children from the mothers family to the fathers family, the acquisition by the husband to rights to sex. Answers will vary.

It is the extent to which women are seen as economic assets (where they do the majority of labor) or liabilities (where men do the majority of the labor).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
