God bless u . u have made a point clear dat I have been hammering on if u have been following my post. I don't agree or buy into d idea of a girl marrying in her teen except like in d case of Kanu Kwanko(footballer). here her future is guaranted. dats y I said if u are a girlvface ur studies forget about boyfriend for now. if after leaving secobdary school., no money to further., go and learn something.....hair dresssing .,tailoring etc. u will add value to ur life for God sake. some girls are just to lazy and cannt think. dey feel what is inbetween deir legs will do d magic. it is a lie. pressure is so much on men today dat if u add a little from what u earn to d upkeep of d home dey will value u rather dan believing in dat thing in between ur legs. if girls don't heed to warning dey will learn in a hard way.... my humble self

ericessien24: after training the child to the peak,won't the same man come and claim paternity and daddy? u should know the real father of a baby is always the father.

This is not true, DNA doesn't make you a father/mother, love does. Here in the US if you marry a single mother/father you can also adopt the child and he/she will legally be yours, the biological (sperm doner /egg mother) will not have any rights. Before adopting the child you will have to get the biological (sperm doner/egg mother) to sign over his/her rights to the adoptive parent and believe me most of the time there will be no hesitance because he/she didn't want the responsibilities of the child in the first place. Now, if said sperm doner/egg decides he/she suddenly wants to play daddy/mommy after years of neglect and abandonment, he/she will have to go to court to detest the adoption but it would be hard to prove to a judge that he/she will be a good father/mother and provider after years of abandonment.

I tried to make it equal. smiley smiley

Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by akoaki(m): 9:44am On Oct 02, 2014
As a man,I think the age of the mother and child has an important role to play in the matter. If the child is of primary school age and the mother is less than 30 yrs , the child will see you as his father and the mother can still have kids for you. But if the kid is grown , the woman will be more emotionally attached to the child, sometimes seeing him/her as her "husband" -the way african mothers talk.

CharmO1: Wow! Many comments, mostly negative. I'm a single mother. I did the same thing many ladies have done and will always do: s3x. But I did what only a brave woman with a conscience would do, I kept my son. I laughed when I read some HELL NO's. Better a tokunbo. Car than a car that was wrecked in an accident and then panel-beat, repainted, and repackaged as new. I haven't had issues with men looking down on me because I'm independent and I don't even allow a man I'm dating meet my son. I don't want my son seeing different men in my life. It's only that lucky man that would have the priviledge of meeting him though adopting him is out of the question cos my family won't let him out of their sight. Fertility is not guaranteed because a woman has given birth but there's a higher chance of fertility and if there are no kids after marriage, then na the man get problem be that. As someone rightly said, it takes a mature mind and a good heart to be with a single mother because honestly we hardly trust because we've been hurt deeply before. I haven't met any promiscuous single mother. Strangely, most single mothers can close legs tight because of fear of being used and dumped. My advice to single mothers, don't be desperate, rely on God's time. It will happen for you too. And also be financially independent so no man calls you a gold-digger. And no matter what love your child/children because a man can break your heart and abandon you but your kid(s) are yours forever.

Big YES!!!, Only if she shows she's did learned some lessons from that episode of her life,subconciously ready to enjoy her next journey, the 1st been an experiment and ready to move on. The indicators would be she's calm and respectful, does not demonize men, not on any revengeful mission against the opposite sex, showers lots of love on the child not seeing he/she as her nightmare-the reason of her unhappiness, her shattered life, industrious,peaceful in her home & her environment, not bitter & hangry, or display agression or temper of any kind, ambitious, accountable, good hygienic sense, neat, must not always be looking for financial Favour from every one she meets & pester them, advisable, listens, keep less male friends, not under the influence of other women-i hate that association. As a person I've always had this thought that if they had been attentive and observant, for instance, in a 1st marriage, they would hv built on their knowledge of the psychology of the male and that of marriage, and where the marriage can no longer continue..... (Reasons) they ll come out as grown,mature,wiser-a godess with the Will.. .
It can only make the joy of a man hit the roof coz the awkwardness,anxiety & conformity of characters both in a new and old relationship can quickly & always be dealth with without fatal harm, better for the man looking to go into a really serious relationship and the woman that has always prepared herself. Man has always want his emotion ruled, but not his ego!, a thousand dollar fact & only but few women know & use it, every time it is used, it create a spark within us & we feel alive.
I crave for such understanding, maturity and commitment from a woman.
Re: Can You Marry Someone Who Has A Child? by Nobody: 9:59am On Oct 02, 2014
On a normal situation, and all things being equal, 99% of Nigerian guys who have never been married before will never marry a lady that has a child; no need for us to be deceiving ourselves cos we r online.

Pls dear single ladies, say NO to unwantedd pregnancy pls n pls! And guys pls stop impregnating a girl when u know u aren't ready to marry or take responsibility of the child; its a crime against humanity n nature won't be happy with you.

Enasco1: We are all tackling dx issue from d ladies side!!!! X not wrong 2 date n marry a lady dat already has a child from her previous relationship, d only issue I personally have wt them x dat many of them do hide d child from d new guy. Wot stops u from tellin him abt ur past right from d first date. A lady who dated 1 guy n got pregnant bt did nt marry him n a lady who dated abt 6 guys n had up to 6 abortions, whic x better Question beggin 4 an anx!!!
in d first place y abortion. wen pikin think say e know pass him papa na e be d result of abortion. don't u know if u have sex it can lead to pregnancy.? so y d pretence. now if u accept it will., y going into sex when u are not ready for d outcome. so abortion shouldn't have come into d picture. den d child out of wedlock., check in most cases it is still carelessness on d part of wayward children. u wan taste se..x whether d thing sweet. but u no wan go thru weti elders dey do. but u believe u are smart by using corner-corner banging for clubbing. school hide out and parties. sabi d child don come. u cannt play God

It is easier said than done marrying a Baby mama,what about if the father of the child is still alive,and in most cases the father is and the implication here is the father of the child will always come around to see his child and is very obvious sex can always take place especially when you are not around.so the best for me is not to even date them let alone of marrying a baby mama.

AdeniyiA: At least it shows her fertility, how do you explain a lady who had had several unprotected intimacy not having a baby, it's either she's done abortions or she's infertile, either way what's d assurance she'd be able to conceive when married /
dhardline: Its still ok to marry a lady who already has a child,those who dont have yet do you know how many abortions(murder)they have committed?no body holy pass.

In Africa, a man alone doesn't marry a wife; its always a family affair. Any guy from a responsible family will get his parents' approval before marrying a lady, except his parents are late.

So its not bad that he went to ask for his mum's approval...its traditional and even Christianly, and such marriage last than those done without parental consent- the city-marriage, which crash so easily cos it lacks root and most times it ends up in a ghost partner marriage, pls open your eyes my sister.
