The offending boy had to be fined by paying huge bride wealth.
The Bahima have three ways in which the okuteera oruhoko was done:
- The boy has to put a tethering rope around the girl´s neck and then pronounce in public to the community that the girl had done it herself.
- The second one was to put a plant known as orwiihura onto the girl’s head.-
- The third one was that the boy has to sprinkle milk on the girl’s face while the girl is milking.
This practice was only possible if the girl and the boy were from different clans.
