"I am planning to buy fishing equipment like nets, some of the money I will use to pay dowry to my dead spouse's parents, because in our culture children are only your own after you pay dowry. The rest of the money will be used to buy household items like a mattress, chairs, a bed and also repair my house and install a steel door."
