Recently,my mum called me and told me that,if I should bring an uneducated person to her as my wife,that she won't be happy.
According to my own understanding;
An uneducated person is someone that cant read,write,nd cant make a creative contribution to issues.
So,back to my question. Can u marry,or allow ur child to marry an uneducated person,whether he or she loves the person or not?

Your mum, in her wisdom, is looking beyond the mere physical abilities of reading, writing and making intelligent conversations.

She's look much further and into the character and personality of the person. Basically, her mental capabilities. So for example, she's referring to:

~ An overtly superstitious person (e.g: someone who believes owning scented candles is a sure sign that you're a cult member / devil worshipper), or one who believes misfortunes are caused by people back in the village planning your 'downfall', rather than understanding the cause and effect relationship.

~ Someone with your average Nollywood mentality e.g: The man must foot all the household bills, feed and educate his wife's people, educate all her siblings and start up a business for every male member of her family.

~ Someone who believes ALL mother-in-laws are bad with evil intentions, without even making the effort to know / understand her inlaws.

These are a few examples of what I think your mother meant. Be wise and take heed.
