The Question is, Is it complusory to have a traditional marriage? The answer No!
Nigeria has two legal binding agreement between two consenting male and female, that when carried out, they will be viewed as husband and wife
1: Customary marriage act, or so-called traditional marriage, What constitutes customary marriage? (1) Dowry demanded by the bride family, which is negotiable,and accepted paid in full, by the bridegroom's family, (2) The bride is handed over to the bridegroom,his family or his reprensentative. (3) Bride's immediate family consent may play a role, to enact this marriage, Umunna or umuada's consent is not neccessary. (4) This marriage act maybe conducted or held at anytime of the day, even at midnight. This marriage gives room for polygamy and polyandry.
In summary. Bride or dowry makes this marriage acceptable as contracted, if they bridegroom present,s kekenapep to private jet, this doesn't count. Parents consent may play a role, Umunna or Umuada or any group that may arise consent is null and void, Where the bride or dowry was paid doesn't matter.

2: Statutory marriage act or so-called low or high court marriage, in summary
A: Dowry or brideprice is not neccesary. B. Parental consent does not matter. C: The two persons must be of marriageable age.D: Does not admit polygamy or polyandry.E: A twenty one days public notice must be posted, at the expiration of this twenty one days notice the marriage shall be enacted within or not more than 30days, and a marriage certificate is issued.
Under this marriage act, the woman and her children is protected under the inheritance law.
IT IS NOT NECCESSARY to conduct or have these two types of marriage, they are all honorable before God, and man

Naija culture this and that yet still backward as ever. I don't really see the good thing about it...just some villagers getting a bit rich

You are not an Igbo, because no Igbo fellow would write Ibo as his/her tribe. There is no tradition in Igbo land that permits Cannibalism; you are one of those Efulefus that go about spewing rubbish about the Igbos in order to score cheap marks.

Mbaise i know and where my senior brother married from, i mean Nguru Mbaise, no one exploited my brother for any reason, they accepted what my brother had and gave to them. Today my brother is carrying his wife like an egg, a well educated intelligent girl for that matter. I am from Orlu Imo state.

No village in Igbo land obliges any suitor to do more than his purse, Traditional marriage is never compulsory in Igbo land, but very necessary. It has been happening before your forefathers, but nowadays people have modernized it and added some fun into it. You do the ceremony as you can. Even if you don't have anything to give to your wife's kinsmen, they will gather that day and know their son in-law. Marriage is not finished in one day.

You and your Ibo lost fellows should not come online to claim the knowledge of what you are ignorant of. I have seen an Igbo friend that marry an Igala girl, both of them left Amsterdam to the girl's village to do the traditional marriage. Traditional marriage is not only an Igbo thing as some people are trying to make it look here. Any girl that likes let her take her husband to her home town, who doesn't like should go and marry in Mars planet that is her cup of tea. But we have the Igbo bu Igbo.

I am Ibo and I was talking about my traditional wedding. This is not hear say. It happened at my traditional wedding and no need for insults.

As for the things you say never happened in the past, like cannibalism, I can only speak for Ibo land because that is the one I am aware of and for your information, everything I said here is from real life occurrences that happened to me or someone close to me.

Re: Traditional Marriage In The Village, Is It Compulsory? by caesare: 2:51pm On Sep 22, 2013
depends on the tribe....i have heard cases of where women were chased out of their matrimonial home after their husband died because there was no traditional marriage (even after court and white) which makes the woman not to be recognized traditionally as a wife to the person .
i think its the most important of the three considering that i have seen so many couples who just had traditional marriage only and nobody disturbs them.

Since you are from Delta State i Will leave you. I still dey chop oil money there and i have a good friend from Obiaruku. I have issues with ibos (Homo-Vandalism).

But maka y are you chopping our oil money? This is the thing that is causing militancy, you will leave ijebu land and be chopping our oil unabated. This has to stop with immediate effect and alacrity
