A (guy) fresh graduate has been dating a lady for more that 6years now. Firstly the lady told the guy that she already have a child(daughter), they continue dating each other, the lady gave the guy a baby(daughter) also, but the guy family wasn't aware that the lady have a child earlier before and right now the sometin has turn into a huge family problem that the guys family said: there is nothing like wedding ceremony of any such type. Presently the guy is totally confused now. And my question is what should he do. This matter requires deep thinking. Need response from u guys.
Am sorry if my english is bad.

Elope!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OP, are you the one involved?

His family said he should not Mary her or there wont be a wedding ceremony?

Am not the one in the scene oooo...

His family said since the lady gave him a child and they are living together presently, that they will visit the lady parent after they ask and confirm from the lady the whole truth about the matter. Every right as tradition will be paid to them (yoruba traditional stuff) but there won't be any fom of ring and elaborated wedding for the lady, meaning they want the guy to marry another wife and do the proper wedding stuff.
