Sierra Leone Singles – Meet Singles from Sierra Leone at AfricanLove.com
For Sierra Leonean singles, marriage is a mark of adult maturity and brings considerable prestige to both bride and groom. Specific customs vary by ethnic group and socio-economic status, but usually begin when a man is able to assemble enough “bride price” (often a mixture of money and fine cloth) to give to the prospective bride and her family. He may be able to amass this himself, but often has to ask his father and his father's brothers for support. For older generations of Sierra Leonean singles, almost all of their marriages were arranged between families, sometimes while the girl was still quite young. Increasingly, "love marriages" are more common among Sierra Leonean singles, especially among those who have been to school. Some of these Sierra Leonean singles are turning online toward successful sites, such as AfricanLove.com, to find that special someone they want to me. This evolution in dating practices by Sierra Leonean singles is a gradual process; however, a compelling look at the power of the Internet and the accessibility of mass media.
