Husband Must Be Older Than The Wife Is It A Law Anywhere?(legal, Customary, Etc) by Onosy: 8:47am On Aug 07, 2011 |
This notion we carry around in Africa that the husband must be older than the wife. is it a law anywhere, I mean is it a customary, constitutional, traditional or a societal law, where did the notion/mentality come from, Is it even written in any verse of the holy bible? I guess knowing the origin will help me and other people who find themselves in sure situation to make the right decision, Matured comment please. this is a serious issue that can help someone out there to make the right decision. |

Kslib: what nonsense,please stop viewing the world from your toilet window. @OP,age should not always come as a hindrance, between an intending couple.It is not a necessity that the man must be older. There is no mentioned law in the bible, or otherwise. 1 Like |

Not a written law anywhere, but it may be an unwritten one in our hearts. 1 Like |

amblors: Who wrote it in our hearts? We Africans just tend to believe in things that donot exist, but because of our level of understanding, we just seem to look at the world myopically, so to say. |

It is a perspective from the point of view of we Africans what should make a marriage workable and ideal. |

myopic view huh! Mayb u shud give 'us' a hypermyopic view. I dont really have any problems with it. People dnt do it out of fear of wot people would think. Some don't coz they just would not want to, they simply dont like the idea. Many are obssessed with the age thingy that the woman must be atleast 5ys younger. Some don't marry older women coz family won't allow it. The reasons probably dont all make sense to me or to u. But i do respect em. Let em be. |

My husband is older than me but there IS NO law anywhere that the husband must be older than the wife. Older men tends to chase younger women for reproduction purposes and younger men tends to chase older women because they have dreamt of fucking their mothers. |

Nahhh no law per se. It jus happens in support of the idea of the Man being the head of the family and with him being older supports the whole notion even more |

I have always found older men attractive mainly because they are life experienced and usually have more to offer in term of life prosperity. I did say USUALLY. |

I bliv itz a matter of respect and ego. We men want to b in control and want our women to respect us, datz y we tend to go for younger women but d major tin is to find a woman wo 'l b submissive irrespective of her age. . |
