I thought it was absolutely disgusting how Kobe made Emily participate in selling herself for a goat and a dowry. His family literally used the word “property” when referring to her.
Misogyny is misogyny. It doesn’t matter whose “culture” it is or whether it’s “tradition.” It’s concerning how many people are defending this on other threads on other sites.
Kobe should not have even let his parents put her in that situation. Yeah she agreed, but what was she supposed to do? She was clearly uncomfortable, but she knew she would’ve been seen as the bad guy if she refused. I’m so glad her mom voiced her opinion.
It’s extra insulting because they’ve already been legally married for years and have two kids! How disrespectful to insinuate that they’re “not really married.”
I also thought it was disrespectful towards Emily’s parents, because they’re the ones who have been supporting them (and let them live with them) this whole time.
