What did you spend your third transfer on?
I have been staying with my husband for five years now but he had not paid my dowry as traditions require of him, so most of my third transfer I spent on that. My husband bought some cows and carried some cash that was taken as my dowry payment. I can now say that I am legally married as per our traditions.
