Answer to Question 1

These amounts have fluctuated as economic circumstances have changed. As land has become less available and agricultural produce less valuable, and as urbanization has increased and work opportunities opened, bridewealth costs have gone down.

Answer to Question 2

It is a custom in which a woman marries a man and his brothers.
