If it's up to you alone, Avoid it.
Except there's a clear Divine instruction or she hates living that life.

Most times, it affects them negatively and they'd take it out on you.

Be wise

So if you don't marry them who will, angels?

Continue saying nonsense, wise one!

You have stigma and think you are spiritual and wise!!!

Immatex:


Just help ask these set of wicked people in Nigeria.

You stigmatize people for their ethic nationality, their dialect and even their family make-up as if any was their fault.

We are more Racist to ourselves than Europeans are to us!

Romanoff:
Better to marry someone who was raised in a healthy environment by a single parent than to marry someone who was raised in a toxic and abusive two parent household.

Ugo. C. Shege.

Just do your research well on the parent that raised her and the circumstances behind her parents separation.

Those who have ear have heard.

You are free to go and marry them.

Naira20:
If you have the choice, don't even consider it.

Even the ungodly ones knew the consequences and that informed why they ensured their marriages worked.

We know separation maybe unavailable but there's usually a case of "a father eating the sour grape and the teeth of the children set on edge"

By the way, single parenthood caused by separation is unhealthy

pleasureosondu:
None of the situations are good.

Immatex:


Happily married for 6 years now and counting. Superstition is not an ingredient to a healthy marriage!

Immatex:

In comparison to those raised in a two-parent family, single parent upbringing are less successful. That's to be expected as two is always better than one, but it's not a rule and so there should be no needless generalisation.

[bAnyone contemplating marriage must look not just at a partner's upbringing but on the person deep qualities, personality traits and conviction, these must align for two cannot walk together except by agreement[/b].

By and large, there no perfect man or woman, no perfect marriage and marriage is not made in heaven but on earth.

If two persons irrespective of their background invite God to be the third Cord in their marriage and if they possess the fruitage listed in Galatians 5:22-24 their marriage will succeed.

pleasureosondu:
Agree it wasn't the kid's fault but do we should now continue to trend and accept divorce? If parents divorce with flimsy excuses, what guarantee do you have that their innocent ( now adults) won't do same to their partner? And it's always the ladies that are quick to file for divorce. Just check Nairaland's front-page

Naira20:
Unfortunately, we are not discussing you or your marriage. We are addressing avoidable pitfalls.
What makes a fool happy may sadden a wise man.

The question again is
Is it advisable to marry a lady from a broken home.

Romanoff:


So people should stay with abusive partners cause it's "healthier" to you.

pleasureosondu:
A good tree cannot produce bad fruits.

And in Africa, marriage is inclusive. Meaning that your in-laws are part of your household. Therefore, it's basically impossible to ignore the family background of your in-laws

Immatex:


And you are 100% certain yours won't be broken in the future?

Romanoff:


One is better.

It's easy to just judge cause you've never been a victim. I use to be like some of you here.

Till I heard what many people went through before they chose to leave.

So a man should stay with an adulterous woman so that a man like you can marry his daughter, abi?

Or a woman should die in an abusive marriage so that a man like you will not judge her before marrying her daughter?

E go reach everybody.

Immatex:


Let me say this: Marry only if you truly love a person, not their parents. Isaac set a good example because Genesis 10 informs us he married Rebekah because he 'fell in love'.

If you show your spouse love as defined at 1 Cor. 13:4-8, they will love you in return and won't divorce even if their parents were divorced. You can only love someone/something that's valuable. A lady with good qualities is easily lovable but the issue is, she needs to be taught. Who should be her teachers?? Definitely the parents. Of course, each parent has unique qualities so if any of the parent is absent via separation, the effects is the increase in divorce we see today.

But if you treat your partner with contempt, He or She will leave.

Honour and love your wives, love and respect your husbands and have no fear, your marriage will make a success!

■With the increase in the number of divorce in Nigeria, it's clear that kids from separated homes will increase. For those born in the early 1990's, many witnessed their parents live together even when they were clearly incompatible. You learn by observing how they "managed" themselves but today, people divorce with flimsy excuses rather than to look for practical solutions to the problem.
■ If parents continue with this divorce trend, they are indirectly setting a new standard- that divorce is the easy way out of a marriage.
■ So, how will their kids (when they become adults) know how to manage their families since they didn't learn the qualities that holds marriage due to the fact that their parents were separated?
■As a guy, will you be comfortable marrying a girl with such family background?
