Marital Encounters

For this week, you were asked to read "Women on the market: marriage, consumption, and the Internet in urban Cameroon" by Jennifer Johnson‐Hanks. Once you have read this article, please briefly answer the following questions:

1. What are "yoyettes"?

2. Why do yoyettes regard many contemporary marriages, and the men who offer them, "not serious"? What does this mean?

3. In the urban Cameroonian culture within which the yoyettes live, "honorable" young women do not need to adhere to complete sexual abstinence and bridal virginity (as in some other honor systems). What do they need to show instead?

4. What are some of the features of the traditional bridewealth system?

5. Why is the traditional bridewealth system in decline?

6. What are some of the features on Internet marriage to a foreigner that make it a satisfactory substitute for traditional bridewealth marriage?
