Rita Edochie, a seasoned Nollywood actress, has chastised Yul Edochie for his insistence on receiving his bride money back from the union with his divorced wife, May Edochie.
Remember that before, Yul had said that, despite May and her family’s refusal to comply, he had been requesting the bride price he paid when he married her.
Rita Edochie responded to Yul’s remarks by pointing out that May is not entitled to her husband’s bridal money back.
She insisted that Yul need to demand the refund of the bridal fee by travelling to his wife’s homeland.

According to her, “A woman has no right to return the bride price of a man; rather it is the man who moves to the woman’s hometown with his kinsmen to ask for the return of the bride price, same way he went to pay initially.
“Queen May has been asking for a divorce. She urged Yul our son to come retrieve the bride price but he kept holding back thinking Queen May would later give in to his polygamous intentions.
“Not until late 2023 when the matter was taken to court, only then did he start demanding the bride price which you (Judy Austin) have been pushing him to do.
“The unfortunate thing is that this matter is now in full custody of the court and nothing can be done till the case is over in court. So I repeat, no pride price can be returned except with consent and order from the court. So you have to wait till whenever.”
