Church marriage is recognised by law and I don't think that there is any extra right provided by court marriage that is not inherent in church marriage. They are both under common law...received English law. Lawyers please come in here and clarify this issue.

amethystnnty1:


Good point!

People like to talk about how we've evolved from the lower animal but our fundamentals hasn't changed. The primary role of a woman is the procreation and preservation of the man's genetic legacy while the primary role of a man is provision for and protection of the woman and their legacy.

Seahawk:
So you evil people think it’s okay to divorce a woman who you probably insisted she stay home and raise your kids and leave her with nothing after you ruined her chances of building a career?

It will never be well with anyone who thinks this way. In Jesus name.
God does not like wickedness so he won’t reward your work. you won’t be successful if you plan to take away someone else’s success because of a supposed role she should play in the family and then turn around to punish her for doing the thing she was told she’s supposed to do.

Umu ekwensu (devil’s children).

Elder001:
I guess this is why men are scared to file for divorce or reluctant to file for divorce because from the way it seems now the law assumes you've wasted the woman's life.

Like only women can file for divorce because if you do you'll lose much.. smh


I won't advice any man(not even my enemy) to do registry marriage .
If a lady insists on registry marriage please she can't be trusted, kindly cancel the wedding.

HARDDON:


Oh yea?

The only wisdom women would wear is that of remaining single all their lives.

You cant bring a feminist mentality and baggage, no matter how evolved you think the world has, into a man's home . So long as a HE, still with the evolution of the world, pays some huge sums as YOUR BRIDE PRICE, you cant run your show the way you deep fit.

If not, be ready to stay in your father's hut!

Flee from any woman that request for Registry Marriage.

the request of the woman.

Nigerian law considers marriage as a partnership.

The law assumes when the partnership finally end, nobody leaves empty handed except the woman didn't specifically ask for anything.

tete7000:
People go into marriage thinking it won't last. Marriage built on foundation of sand of distrust and mutual suspicion. Na by force to marry if you already from inception thinking it is not going to work? Devil has indeed taken over the hearts of people and enslaved them with his reign of fear.

MhisTahrah:
There's no feminist mentality here.Now, imagine yourself as the father of a daughter you struggled so much for.You got her educated at the best schools, provided everything she asked for just so one day your girl will 'blow' and make you a proud father.Only for her to get married one day and become a full time housewife.Her certificate wasting away.All her education amounts to is birthing babies and taking care of the home.Nothing wrong with them 'cept for the fact that some women often sacrifice their lives for the sake of their homes.
See, this mentality of he paid your bride price so he owns you must stop.

Flee from any woman that request for Registry Marriage.

The issue of sharing of properties cannot come in except the wife claims that as a relief in her answer to the petition for dissolution of marriage.
The law assumes that settlement of property and maintenance is an ancillary relief which a man owes his wife if he files for divorce.


For example a man file for divorce after 20years of marriage to his wife.

The law assumes he's the one filling for divorce after she has given him 20 years of her life. She may even throw in how she supported him(even if it's not financial support) and performed wifely duties to him. The law assumes the man can't leave her with an uncertain financial future (I still don't know whether this implies if the woman is rich.. didn't see anything like that though) after she spent two decades building his.

If she claims for settlement of properties in the marriage, the judge usually would look at the circumstances of the case and facts supplied to reach a decision on what to give her.
Judges have a wide discretionary power to settle matrimonial properties as it deems just to do so.

The judge has a discretion to award reliefs sought by parties in a divorce proceeding, according to the facts and circumstances of the case at hand.
If she specifically ask that she shares in the matrimonial properties and the facts and circumstances makes it justifiable that she does deserve a share, the court will order that.

The law doesn't care about who owns what or what anyone brought into the marriage.

The court can order settlement I. e share any property belonging to any of the parties on the request of the woman.

Nigerian law doesn't recognize prenupital agreements.

Elder001:


You're asking me that?

do registry marriage with a lady who knows the constitution very well and you'll know who's going to enforce it.

If you like go and do registry marriage.. suicide will end it last last

Offisteven:
MEN; the rule is simple, act like a woman but think like a man, always carve out a plan to provide and solve the challenges in your home,for that's what you are designed todo. be externally soft but hard internal.let your technical decisions stand, be the sailor, its your boat.
when you have firm grip of this few rules, she will learn the ropes then, she will know that there is more to it than sharing of properties.
