Many Marry for Money

If money grew on trees, many people would be married to monkeys. African Proverb

Interpretation

This proverb is about greed. It applies to those who would do anything for money, however hideous that thing may be.

There are many people today, for example, who would readily get married to anybody without a connection nor love, just for the sake of the person’s wealth. This proverb applies to them.
