I applaud you for your decision not to buy land. What her brother did for his sister is naturally what every brother or sister will do to save their life. Why should someone reward you for saving your biological sisters life. This is reason why a lot of people especially in ghana are single.

It sounds like they are auctioning her off to you. Run bro before you regret. With people like this, even after you marry her, they will not give you peace with this level of entitlement. This is the kind of akonta you will come home from work and he is sitting in your living room to come borrow money with no prior notification that he will be visiting. Just run and cut your losses. This does not sound like a family to marry into. You loved and lost one, keep going and you will find another.

If he had saved the life of a girl from another family would he have gone to demand a portion of the bride price if that person was marrying because he once saved her life?

TIME DO AWAY WITH USELESS DOWRY PRACTICES

The same amount that the bride's family will pay the bridegroom's family. Useless tradition across Ghana making women look like chattel to be bought. What's the sense in paying dowry for the bride but no dowry for the bridegroom? Dowry may have made sense to our ancestors, but we ought to realize that such bridal dowries make no sense. If family members on both sides can help with the wedding expenses, fine. But no wedding so call for any dowry to be paid.

You should keep on banging the lady,impregnate her ,still if they demand for the land take ur kid and move if the girl still wants u give her more kids like 4 or more then they will give you the lady for free and save the 7,500 for u and ur kids own land.if the family is sharp,u are smartest. Plan this with ur girl if she sides with u that u are not going to marry until u both have 3 or 4 kids with no wedding.thats how u should play the girl family. If sides with the parents then get her pregnant and leave with ur kid,sharp!!!
