I haven't checked today's ForEx but it must be at least 200 goats for a woman in Yemen. The prices are giving cause for concern. What was the charade about women's rights you were talking about, again?: state.gov

"The law stipulates that the wife's "consent" to the marriage is required; "consent" is defined as "silence" for previously unwed women and "pronouncement of consent" for divorced women. The husband and the wife's "guardian" (usually her father) sign the marriage contract; in Aden and some outlying governorates, the wife also signs. The practice of bride-price payments is widespread, despite efforts to limit the size of such payments."
