Wait, isn't the custom that the dowry should be paid by the goat, and not to the goat (well, its owner)?

Different lands, different customs.

In old Europe, daughters were seen as a burden. Families would pay to have them taken off their hands.

In many african cultures, a man has to buy his wife from her father. A stellar beauty in the tribe may go for as much as 3-4 cows.

"We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said.
