Op change your topic to "46 years of living together" they were never married, they were living in sin-fornication, without paying bride price or dowry any form of "marriage" is useless.

Trash.

Your opinion doesn't count, better to mind your business & be positive. cool

wrong!


All these things are human constructs

As long as you have declared in a public ceremony that you are married, you have married be that


In today 's world, it's more like if you don't have a marriage certificate, then you are not married, if you want to go by that logic undecided


Traditional marriage, Formal marriage, Court marriage, the common denominator is marriage, meaning they are
All the same thing,

This was when TRUE LOVE existed. Whenever I say "Older women have my respect" I believe you all now know why.

Sometime ago a New generation Nigerian woman trended online for saying "At this stage of my life, I will not marry a man without a car". I as Satan the Lucifer, I was shocked because that same lady is over 35 years and obviously depreciating. But there she was placing a "Liability" as prerequisite for marriage.





Congrats to the Husband and Wife.


Now to those reading my message. Marriage is the decision of the Man and wife. Do not frustrate intending couples with a great financial burden or bogus traditional rites. Allow them to live happily as man and wife. If they have made a decision then support them and stop demanding for 30 gallons of palm oil when you know deep inside your heart that you can't afford a drop of oil. A woman is not a commodity anymore.


The practice of bride price is archaic and barbaric (Though it's still evident in our various traditions). When such laws were enacted women never had any rights, some were seen as less humans or commodities to be sold. Instead of sending them to school, they train them on home chores and preparation of various dishes. These women were sold out according to their value in the guise of the Bride Price.

A bride should not have a price tag. She is not a commodity. She is a priceless jewel, a rare gemstone.


Let's advocate for the total annihilation of the Bride Price and the regulation of traditional marriage rites by the traditional heads in our communities. As this is the only solution to unlawful cohabitation.

If you so love your sister or daughter then support her decision to get married and do not demand any price for her. Wish her well and celebrate her. Make it clear to the groom that you are not taking any dime from him as your daughter is priceless and has a greater value than money.


Marriage is getting too expensive and it is a threat to lawful cohabitation.

thank you o

Thumb up to the woman for sticking to the man she love despite him been poor and family pressure, something far away from this new generation ladies

And to some people saying they are cohabiting - NO THEY ARE NOT, he offered to pay the bride price but the IN LAW REJECTED it, and they went ahead on advice of their church to have A STATUTORY WEDDING, rather than killing their beautiful love because of some problematic inlaw

culture od dynamic and it changes

humans choose how to live, and overtime, it becomes their culture, so that does not count.

where was it written in the "bible" that those who did not pay bride price are in an illegal union?
Re: After 46 Years Of Marriage, 84-year-old Man Pays His Wife Dowry (Photos) by luluosas(m): 5:50pm On Oct 28, 2018
They were mere sex partners all this while, as there was never any marriage between them. In fact, they only cohabited. If you are living with a man and you have children for him, and he is yet to pay your dowry, just know that you are in a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, you don't have any marriage my dear.
You will understand who you really are by the time the man dies. Draw that your boyfriend you called husband to go pay your dowry now. A word is enough for the wise

As for the African culture part culture evolves and it is dynamic not static.People just bring in silly excuses as to why women should be sold as commodities in the name of brideprice.

If they are married under the civil law they are married the unncessary opinion of others claiming that they are not married because he did not pay the price tag on her head is irrelevant.
