Court marriage, native custom and church marriage are all legaly binding so long as the marriage is registered in the marriage registry. Mind you, we only have one marriage certificate in Nigeria and it is issued by the marriage registry. It has a logo of the FG. So, whatever method you want to take, you will have to divorce in a court except you don't have a marriage certificate. The churches go to the registry to obtain a booklet of the certificate. The difference is that church marriages are difficult to divorce because before it gets to that stage, your father in the lord (pastor) must have intervene.

I remember d argument in my Law School class d day this topic was discussed. First republic finance minister Okotie-eboh's estate is still in crisis because of this. Marry ur wife well. A registry (mind you, not court) wedding is to secure the future of d surviving spouse & kids.
So many times inlaws come to share ppty after d demise of a man, it's because he didn't legalise his marriage as such she can't apply for Probate. Let me stop here.
Suffice it to say I won't compromise it 4 anything. Unless of course the church has been licensed by the LG and such can issue valid certificates then good & fine.

jhydebaba: The reason is not far fetched, as a man if u allow ur woman to sweet talk u into court marriage u've just succeeded in signing ur death warrant all by urself. Women use it to bind their husband and share a largesse if things eventually goes round.

So in your country, a church wedding is not recognized under the law? undecided undecided

My babe insists on going to a registry, whenever we decide to get married. Got no problem with
That. But if. Any one thinks that secures her anything in Naija
(Emphasis on Naija)in time of breakup, that's just pipe dream.
Its one of the benefits of been Nigerian, this things don't work

First of all, why would I go into marriage thinking of divorce or what I'd get out of the divorce?

Second of it all, when a church is lawful, as in incorporated, its certificate is binding! Take for instance, the catholic church.

Take a journey to welfare offices and you will shut up on court marriage makes it hard for you to get dumped. When a man makes up his mind to dump you? There is nothing any one can do about that, some men value their peace of mind to material things.

Lastly, if I really do something that warrants a man dumping me, fine and my bad, I'd take the blame for that, bear the consequences for my action and suck it up! But if he just decides to dump me for no reason? HIS LOSS!

All this shouting for what? Isn't this supposed to be a conversation? Who's asking about anbody's loss or gain. I simply made a comment, no need to expend your entire vocabularly. I said 'frivolously' for pete's sake.
Re: What's Your Take On Court Marriage? by Beync(f): 9:14pm On Oct 21, 2012
court marriage is in accordance with the law of the land. People who fear court marriage becos they do not want to share properties with the partner in the case of divorce and people who want court marriage so as to share properties in case of divorce are ignorant of their civic responsibilities
. Ur marriage is not recognized by any authority unless it is registered. a copy of nigerin law is not costly.

Sagamite: Abeg someone explain to me how court marriage is different from church marriage.
the court and the church are two different institutions and so their marriages . in my own religion the couple must get court registry before they wed you and we records lowest rate of divorce becos we know what marriage entails before going into it.

fresh_dude: Why? Because I pointed out your foolishness?

grin grin grin grin grin.......now let's see who is foolish. Someone opened a thread and I posted my opinion. You quoted me and said that you are surprised to hear a lady with that opinion(that's the only think I picked, foregoing your other sentence(s)). I quoted you and threw more light on why I have my opinion which is also in line with what op wrote (reason why ladies demand for a court marriage).

So wise mugu, where exactly did you lose it? Is it in my quoting you, or the use of the word "you" or, the "exclamation mark?" what? If you had expanded you thinking faculty for once you would have known that I wasn't referring to you (ofcourse you ain't that important). I know you are daft so let me explain it to you like you are 6, NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU.

Now who is foolish, fool?

Don't ever try this bullshit again, cos next time I might not be this polite? Ask question if you don't understand.

Now move to the left make I see road joor.

What is your religion?
Court registry is serves as proof of marriage contact between to people.
a religion is permitted by the govt to perform marriages provided the
the couple have obtain a civil marriage license from the magistrate court.
church wedding adds numerous other moral aspects to the marriage becos
God instituted marriage so the need for moral counsel and blessings from God.
church function is to bless 2 persons who must have met the requirements
for the union and obtained their license from the registrar.

Let me summarise for clarity:

- The only difference between court and church marriage is that the latter adds additional moral obligations that are not legally binding to the union.

So why would anyone be terrified of the former (court marriage) than they are of the latter, as being stated on this thread?

Like what consequences?

So church wedding has less consequences than court wedding when it comes to divorce?
