GrabHisBalls:...who cares about the registry.....the family approves, we live together, we bond together,we born together, we die....... The government can go to hell with their useless certificates just like our university certificates.......useless government that can not better the life's of its citizens, always looking for how to milk it's citizens to death.... #50 digital stamp duty comes to play....

lexy2014: Christians don't subjugate to civil law when it goes against basic tenets. They're married under christian laws dictated by the bible. We had no customary laws pre Nigeria and Igbo men have been carrying ugbankwo to future inlaws. |

rummmy:This is the mentality that has made lot of people use the "Had I known" phrase. Those who appear in court due to unresolved marital woes didn't anticipate it coming. They reasoned just as you did. 2 Likes |

AmazonTopaz: Well, it depends on where the lady is from. Except in situations where one can walk into a family, pick their daughter for free and proceed to the registry to marry and claim being a married man or woman all because marriage was done in the registry. But where i come from and many other parts of the country, traditonal marriage fulfillment is a must before fulfilling others (wedding and/or registry) 1 Like |

sacramento1212:I have seen couples who wedded only via registry. It is your choice as a couple to choose what is best for you as long as Nigeria recognises your marriage all others na unnecessary formalities that is at your own choice to decide if or not you would go through that(traditional marriage) . None is compulsory but all are optional. 1 Like |

Duggedised12: I agree with you. If it's left for me alone to decide, i will never get involved in any church marriage. Traditional marriage alone is a done deal for me and then registry strictly because of legality due to the aspect of legality/recognition still lacking in traditional marriages in Nigeria 1 Like |

sacramento1212:If you decide to give them a listening ear and allow them tell you what to do no qualms. If you refuse and do what is best for you no qualms. There is nothing special about that and nobody would kill you for refusing to do such(traditional marriage) But if you choose to still keep your traditional practice in place no problem do what works for you. Aside it's immediate jurisdiction mainly extended family members traditional marriage holds no water. I would always advise couples to head to the registry after fulfilling all righteousness with the traditional as that one would favour our women(registry) 1 Like |

Foolishness at the highest level,these lazy adults up there supposed to be looking for ways to create jobs for the lazy youths so that they won't end up being lazy adults tomorrow. But instead they're searching for legal marriages and illegal marriages. Who told them there is marriages in heaven or how does it stop banditry, kidnapping, armdrobbery, rape,tribalism, nepotism, favoritism,corruption and looting of the national Treasury. 1 Like |

erico2k2: Bros traditional marriage is legally binding according to Nigeria's customary law and marriage act. Same can't b said for church marriage as stated in d article. Even in a divorce, from d little I no, customary law gives cover to d woman |

It is. but u can't present the certificate issued to you as official document when needed except the one issued in court. Our constitution is full of so many flaws if you ask me. Our culture was never taken into consideration when it was drafted. Seun Kuti said he went to court with a friend and he was granted bail with a surety of a particular level in civil service or a pastor or imam. He asked the judge, what about Herbalist or IFA priest? And the judge started insulting him and calling him names. stquote author=thesicilian post=80593846]I beg to differ. As long as a bride price has been paid and traditional rites performed, that marriage is fully legal.[/quote] |

GrabHisBalls:marriage certificate is not the marriage itself, it's just an evidence. Yes, traditional wedding is the one true. Anything is avenue to throw money around. I don't know why ladies are obsessed with court marriage sef even though it has little to no significance |

stzy:Why would I go to court for divorce when I didn't marry in church? A marriage cannot be illegal because it wasn't done in court, registry or a government recognized church, when all the full traditional rites have been performed. If he had said most marriage certificates are fake that would have made more sense. |

Yankee101: Christians don't subjugate to civil law but yet it is marriage certificate issued by d FG that they give married couples. Christians don't subjugate to civil law yet churches can't conduct weddings without permission from d govt What are d Christian laws under which Christians are married? Pls quote s scriptures. We didn't have customary laws pre Nigeria yet churches will tell u to conclude ur traditional wedding b4 church wedding can b conducted. |

GrabHisBalls: Yes. In my place, Traditional rulers(District Heads) issue marriage certificates. They are empowered by the marriage act to do that. You pay a token of N3000 and they sign off for you. It is recognised in Law. |

Comments on this thread shows that many Nigerians are all shades of dull and are backward Tomorrow when a president attends a UN summit in African attire they would shout but you want to show proof of traditional marriage to the embassy SMH Nobody is saying don't do traditional but oga go and make it legal by going to court not church |
