In a heartbeat, I would marry against ma parents wishes.  I am an adult and it is ma life.  I can't be pushed around that easily.  If the marriage does not work out. . . then it is ma business!  The ones sanctioned be parents are not 100% insured with success so what is the problem? undecided

If they cannot be happy for me. . . .tooooooooooo baaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!  They have done such a fantastic job as parents and if they choose not to have me in their lives for the chances I choose to find happiness. . . .tough!  Life goes on!

IT'S MA LIFE! cool

Thank God I do not have such parents anyway.  Whatever makes us happy is what they support.  They are not meddlesome, semi-illiterate, village-minded, gap-toothed, gossip loving, unemployed, busy-bodies or control freaks!

Only jobless, unhappy parents who regret their own prison-like marriages seek to re-live their unhappy lives through their children's by objecting to their children's marriages. Any child as an adult who listens to his or her parents flimsy objections is setting himself or herself up for "borrowed or transplanted" unhappiness.

"I CAN DO BAD ALL BY MASELF". . .so don't need anyone's help at all. They really should learn to act as parents. . .supportive not busy bodies!

I don't know why Igbos, most especially Anambra people, don't allow their children, especially the daughters, to marry from another tribe.

I don't know about this one oo

If u have respect for your parent and u want their blessing then u would not marry against there wish if u do then u should knw that the marriage wouldn't last almost 2years their is always going to be trouble until the both of u dipart son don't do it. I'm talking from experience. i will nottalk 2much

So all failed marriages did not have the parents consent? I f yours failed it might be ur fault.You argument holds no water.

I applaud your patience in responding ever so kindly to a dimwit! kiss

I suggest you draw closer to him and tap his skull.  You will find only a "hollow" resonating sound. . . .obviously indicating that no one was ever home!  All faculties are in search of "greener" pastures in the arse of a fowl!

Of course I can marry against my parents wishes. I'm a grown man, and free to make my own choices, right or wrong. That's how we learn. If you need your parents to make one of the most important decisions in your life, you'll never learn.

And you'll remain a sissy and pushover for life.

awww poor sweetheart, let her help herself with some pelvic tilt and calf stretch exercises

Another good one is the kegel exercise(see doc for more info) atleast to make her comfy for the time being

My regards to her

What if in a situation whereby the man's father refuses him to get married to a girl he truly loves and even went as far as laying curses on him that unless he refuses to marry the girl that the curses would go away naturally. Can the man still go ahead with the marriage plans?

I'm in the same dilemma.
I'm a 27 years old lady who's so much inlove with an Urhobo man. He have all the qualities I want in a man, but my parents won't even agree to meet him let alone allow me marry him because he's not Igbo. I'm so TORN I don't know what to do. I don't think I can bear not getting married to him.
I need your advices please

Marriage is a choice for two person.

Wake up: You are in the 21st century. Go and marry your man. If you failed to stand your ground over what you want, you dont deserve to be his wife.
