My best guess is yes, even if they do not know it:

South Sudan’s Nyalong Ngong weds after her 500 cows, 3 V8 cars auction
After attracting six suitors, all tycoons, 17-year-old South Sudanese virgin from the Awerial area Nyalong Ngong Deng Jalang, is finally off the shelf.
Nyalong brought an end to the long extraordinary journey in search of a suitable suitor on Friday when she exchanged vows with businessman Kok Alat in a flamboyant wedding ceremony in Juba.
The competition for her hand in marriage was 'won' by Mr Kok Alat after he outshone five other men, including a Deputy Governor, by paying 530 cows, three Land cruiser V8 cars and $10,000 for the virgin Dinka girl making her arguably the most expensive bride by African standards.

So they are recognizing the value of a good woman (like rubies!) like the Bible says:
Proverbs 31:10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
I hope for the near future this laws can be brought back to the western, Christian civilization. This will help women (it is going to be a good new when doctors say "it is a girl!") and will make fathers more relief of having to find a good, suitable husband. It is easy, it's the one who pays the most!
What a lucky girl! 3 V8 cars!
