Should I Opt Out Of The Relatship Or Go For Court Wedding? Pls Advice by jeo4u(m): 1:10pm On Oct 08, 2014
I have tried everything thing possible to pasuade my fiance's father into giving his daughter hand in marriage to me to no avail. I melt the lady some 9yrs ago and we fell deeply in love and along the way she got pregnant for me and that was when I got to know the parent for the first time and his reaction is that he can't give her to me in marriage. To cut the long story short, this issue have linger for long now and even the baby is now 3yrs+ and we have been cohabiting ever since. I love the lady and my baby so much and ever ready to pay the bride price but the dad won't let me. THE BONE OF CONTENTION IS THAT THE LADY IS A MUSLIM AND IAM A CHRISTIAN. Iam really confused right now. should I force her away (which I don't have the heart anyway because she have put so much into the relationship) or I should opt for legal union in court. is the second option achievable without the fathers consent and what are the consequences thereafter? pls advice.
forgot to mention that we are also from different tribe in Nigeria.

What is the woman's stand in this whole issue? Is she just keeping mute?



Don't kill yourself...Who says she cant be your "baby mama" till her father accepts you or till she starts talking.

You can't marry her if she doesn't consent to it..

You can keep on doing the thing from behind,maybe when una drop 5,the papa go gree lipsrsealed

I suggest you delegate an elder,maybe someone neutral to talk to the Dad Man to Man and see how things pans out.. Don't forget to pray about this ceaselessly

It depends entirely on your 'Wife'.
If she agrees to marriage without her Dad's consent, go for it.
(Court marriage needs only Two witnesses, not necessarily relations)

The consequence is that you must be prepared for a Cold War between you and her parents for an indeterminable time.

Or maybe he has his reasons

Any plans he has is now late. The reason is she is a Muslim and he is a Christian. I don't know how the girl is watching her life being controlled by a father and a man she is living with she seems absent here. I am all for respecting parents but she has crossed that boundary by having a kid for him and cohabiting with him. They didn't need her fathers blessing then how come they need it now.

You have a point there....

The only option is going on with the court wedding

And hope for the best

Why are you troubling yourself? Impregnate her again, by the time you have 4 children from her, they will be the one begging you to come and pay her brideprice

That I have done severally. Even a neutral person from their tribe but he didn't give in. even the lady have also tried all the trick she could but not working. As a matter of fact I MELT HER AS A CONVERTED XTAIN. BUT she was afraid to let her parent know of her newly found faith at the time. Her mum is in full support of the union though but it seems that women have little say over their children in the tribe.

Sincerely she have tried a lot. she have suffered so much that her dad should have reconsider his stance but all to deaf ear. the only friend she have in the family now is her mum.

Is only in dis part of d world we all parents to dictate our choice of marriage. Tell us wen, how and who to marry. But most times parents are nt rite. So my candid advise is take her to d registery and marry her. Dats is the best tin to do.

Dats why u need to take dat bold step to protect d joy of ur duaghter. Since ur wife to be. Is a christian , her consent is all u need. Go for a court weddin , and maybe lata wen d dad is dead or hv reliquish is decision, u go and pay her bride price.
