But in his response, her husband said her parents gave her out in marriage free of charge and there was no need to pay her bride price, saying she already had children for him.

Make shift marriages are so common today.
And I usually blame women for the outcomes of
these kind of marriages.

The moment a lady cannot control herself and
starts sleeping with her man,she begins the journey
to all these unforseen occurrences.

This woman's case is small.A lady I know like that
too had two children for a married man that she lived with who also promised to marry her.

After two kids from his proposed new wife, he fails to pay the bride price and allowed her to leave then he goes back to his wife, leaving the disappointed lady distorted to seek a fresh start.

None will lack her mate the Bible says, young girls learn to close ur legs even if he promises marriage
and if he truly loves u he will wait and take appropriate steps to formalize ur union.
Saving u from all forms of informal marria
ges just for him to distort ur thing and dump u after u have contours.

A word is enuf for she who has ears.

She said he didn't marry her formally or officially ( not in the church, mosque, court or traditional one) , so which marriage did she want the court to ressolve.
Re: Woman To Divorce Husband Over Bride Price by emmysoftyou: 2:21pm On Mar 13, 2015
there are some of them here in lagos cohabiting together without thinking of paying 4 their bride price..
some dont see it as necessary or important cos they know the lady or the woman they re cohabiting with,
wil one day in the future after many kids wil leave them and go to another man who is married or given birth else where..
i knw one girl her name is bose,after one old man called baba seyi got her pregnant,the nxt one is one young alaye(area boy),got her pregnant because his father had a house..
Na wa o, this becoming much in lagos..
sth need to be done,i mean the young educated yorubas need to have an intellectual romance about marriage education and their usefulness to mankind..
pls no offense if yu think i sound tribalist then yur guy is sory 4 that..
but truth be told wich i stand on..

this thing keep happening among one people and I keep asking if this is as result of the cost of marriage which is very cheap and one thing is that they easily hook up again after divorce, In my part of country once you divorce you hardly get married again from our people.

Were they ever married in the first instance or what are they dissolving? The magistrate of that court was very nice to have allowed all these continue.

My thoughts exactly, I blame the magistrate for allowing the charade

They were merely cohabiting, no need for a divorce.

All due protocols observed, he has to pay, no matter how small. The man is just being stubborn, the amount he's gonna pay is not up to what he spends in bar a single day. Its tradition, it has to be respected.

Its called common-law marriage. As far as a man and a woman live together for up to 6 months, its proper to call it common-law marriage and the union can be dissolved by law. Bride price signifies 'traditional marriage'. So, traditionally, they are not married, but under common-law, they are.

I'm not sure our laws allow common-law marriage. Even in places where it is practised, eg some states in the US, it goes beyond merely co-habiting for six-months - were that the case, hundred of university students, many of whom cohabit, would be deemed married under common law. That is not the case.

The couple in OP's case were merely cohabiting. There's definitely no case for divorce.

What else can be legally binding by paying her ride price?

Common Law/Customary law recognises bride price as an instrument of marriage.

The value of the bride price is inconsequential.
carry bride price receipt go show as a legal proof of marriage na.

According to Nigerian law, a marriage is not recognized if it is not registered by a state registry, not even a religious registry anymore..
So the marriage is valid to the partners Only.

She probably just wants him to do right by her. But she should be clamouring for something of legal binding instead of a stupid bride price that is probably less than a hundred thousand of naira.
there will be no legal binding without bride price being payed.
