I'm not Nigerian so excuse these honest questions. Does the traditional wedding ceremony involve God? Does 'tradition' strictly dictate virginity before marriage?

As the resident Chief Priest, I will answer you according to the traditions of our land that "westernisation" has spoilt. grin

1. YES, traditional wedding ceremony involve God as represented by the gods (according to the belief of our fore fathers). In Yoruba setting, before a guy marries a girl, the family of the guy will seek divination from Ifa to ascertain compatibility and also investigate if the girl's family is credible, doesn't have family medical history like "warapa" (epilepsy) etc....
I will say Marriage of the old wasn't done haphazardly and focused more on substance than frivolities.

2. YES.. Traditional wedding in the days of our fore fathers, the gods and great grand fathers strictly dictate "VIRGINITY". You must be a virgin to be married. Many people have written account of it. The "Virgin" girl was usually celebrated while the "Disvirgined" girl was usually booed and ridiculed and sometimes in extreme cases banished to evil forest.

Making a mistake is permissive but making the same mistake overtime is where the problem lies

The west has even greater marital messes than Africa so don't speak of my Africa that way

Op

So let's say between January and June.

He married traditionally, he went to church for counseling, he started dating another woman, he impregnated her and married her in church.

If he believed in traditional marriage that much why didn't he take the second woman for traditional.

Or if he didn't believe in church marriage why take the other woman to church for marriage
