Is it ok for a lady to marry from the family her elder sister married from. That is 2 sisters marrying 2 brothers. This situation is presently causing trouble for my friend who is one of the ladies involved. She has vowed she will go ahead even if her family are seriously opposed to it and has vowed bot to attend the wedding.
Is she right to go ahead?

there is nothin' wrong with it bro! . . . .

I dont see anything wrong with that.

Well to say the trusth, I am confuse as to what the right thing is in this case. I kn that when a person get married into a family, the 2 families more or less become one.
But then, since both sides are not blood related, can it be wrong?
It is like an adopted child get wanting to get married to the a member of the family that he/she is adopted into. You can say it is wrong cos they are not blood related but it does not look right cos of the fact the adopted member is more or less a part of that family.
Pls can my fellow nairalanders make their contributions as I intend to print this thread out and give it to my friend to read.
Kind Regards

Its morally wrong. Why are two sisters marraid to two brothers. Did yr friend meet him through her sisters relationship with her now husband? If so, it wrong for the two siblings to go this far(imo). However, if they met seperately then it lessensa the moral boundaries. Overall, this is just TOO CLOSE TO HOME. Haba.

@poster --------- Very very very bad and evil stay out ok, l guess you got her cheap because your big bro has already done it all, go outside the world and get your own wify ok l will call that a photocopy wife.

Depends on where u are from, ur race/culture/beliefs. I won't go with dat, its wrong by my standards.

There is no problem.
They can even exchange!

Did you read the thread at all or you were in a hurry? It is not about me but a friend.
She got to kn the guy due to visits to the sister's place. They ve bn going out for a long time, more than 5yrs.
My 1st thought was where were the parents when they were going out. I kn they kept it as secret but the parents must ve suspected ans ask questions.
Also, the girls cousin she was staying with in school was aware and did nothing ( not sure if she did something or not) but now when alot of water has passed under the bridge.

ifyalways:

not so. . . . they are 'in -law' not by blood. the law is too fickle.

@topic

I think it would be too much confusion for the children.

NaJa HaJe:

@ topic NO NO NO,i cant.

Once the love it there, there’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s just like marrying your brother’s wife’s younger sister; it brings families closer to each other. . . there’s nothing wrong with it.

nah,dnt see anything wrong with dat, its all abt cd feelin

I don't see anything wrong with that. Its people's personal feelings and opinions that arise to oppose such union. But there is nothing spiritually, physically or _{looking for another english}, wrong with it. Some people would'nt, doesnt mean it is wrong.

There is nuthing wrong but damn, why would 2 sisters wanna marry 4rom da same family? are they da only good family around? there must be sumthing about dat family, lol,

it depends on ur custom, but i really do not c anything wrong with it
