Even a church wouldn't marry you without getting registry papers.

Without the official marriage certificate, what will the woman use as the basis for her change of name? What will she use to support her marital status when applying for a visa?

I suspect the man is already married legally to another woman, hence his hesitation to do the registry wedding. She should investigate his motives properly before entering one chance.

You have a point

Moana:
1. He doesnt have to wear a ring
2. He can leave the marriage easily
3. He can marry more than one woman
4. He can claim that he is a single guy whenever he wants to
5. There will be no equal distribution of matimonial property when he divorce

It's the properties for you people.. where u no seed U wan chop lol.. well pre nup is there

Registry or no registry,if d man wants to cheat he'll cheat,my colleague's husband impregnated a lady exactly a year after their wedding,she told me even if she divorce him,wot dos d jobless man has for court to give her,and if court jail d man she'll just end up being a single mom,let's just pray God gives us peace of mind in our marriage. God's Grace is all we need not registry marriage. My opinion though

Either ways she'd be screwed. She realized it early.
