A man had three wives.
He married the first wife traditionally
He married the second via white wedding and He married the third wife through court marriage.

Who amongst the wives is the legal wife,and why?

What kind of rhetorical question is this? You say legal wife... Any reasonable person should know the legal wife is the third wife that did court wedding. Court = Legal

The third one is the "legal" one.

The first is traditional wife
The second is church wife
The third is legal wife[i][/i]

The traditional wedding is the first wife.

So far as I’m concerned, Marriage could be traditional, court, church or mosque.

In as much as the man paid the demanded prize for the lady and there were witnesses on both sides, the marriage is legal.
If the man did not divorce the first woman traditionally before marrying the second and third wives, the man is a polygamist

For those saying Court is the legal, does that mean our parents and forebearers who didn’t do court wedding before it was introduced by the whites were in an illegal marriage?

The one in which he paid bride price for with witnesses is the legal (official) wife

I had all three - Traditional, Court, then Church.

True talk bro.

Sometimes i even find it hard to comment or reply mentions on nairaland. No time to stress yourself on what gives you no gain.

Any one of them who first got any court related certificate is the genuine wife.

It's early in the morning. I've not tasted anything. Your entire life, your existence will be a failure, your parents will have no gain of you, you will be useless to your family - wife, children, siblings. People who know you will have nothing good to say about you, everything you lay your hands on will fail before your very eyes. If your mates are doing it easily, you will find it difficult, o ni ṣe rere laye! Failure will encompass you like bee to honey. Aṣiere!

Lol, you're talking to yourself because your moniker is placeoffailure and that's because you're standing in a place of failure, so everything about you is FAILURE! Change your moniker but unfortunately you can't because you're a failure! Everything about you is a failure and I don't talk with failures. Bye

If your life in its entirety is not a failed project, you'd see my moniker is Place of Allure not the rubbish you call it. But Kò sí bi a ṣe ma ṣ'ebolo ti o ni run'gbẹ. You are bound forever to misfortune, so bad that your eyes are losing their function. Eleriiibu, Èèyàn ofo!

Na 3 be the legal wife in the eyes of the law, but the first wife is his rightful wife in the eyes of God.

He can't do church wedding and court wedding with two different women without divorcing one of them. Reason being that the church weddings are taken to court to legalize so question is a no-brainer
