His Ex-Wife's Father Refuses To Return The Bride Price He Paid On Her

Emenike got married to Juliet in 2008, after five years of marriage, they broke up in 2013. Emenike tried every thing possible to make her(Juliet) stay but her mind was made up. She left the marriage in spite of her father asking her to be patient and stay. Juliet's father told her that she knows the culture that once you are married and the bride price has been paid, she cannot bring any other man to remarry her.



Two years after the breakup Emenike wants the father to refund him the bride price, but the father refuse telling him that he is still his son-in-law till death.



Is this true that in Delta state that bride price cannot be returned?



What other method can Emenike use to collect his bride price, considering the fact that his kindred have made efforts towards the issue.



Can the customary court compel the father to give back the bride price?



N/b. They WEre only married in the traditional way.
