Parents especially reserve the right to cancel a wedding between their child and another consenting adult in Nigeria. Is that proper?. A friend of mine had her wedding cancelled by Christ Embassy because the grooms mother put an injunction in the union. Is the church right by putting a halt to that wedding when the both parties involved are ready and willing to get married?

stillwater:

The couple getting married are adults for God's sake, or aren't they? They have no right whatsoever to cancel a wedding, phuleeaassee!!!

When the issue of love comes to the table, adults are worse than kids.

If u mistakenly fall in love with say. . .Tumfulu, and u guys are bent on marrying each other.
Do u expect your parents to just allow you to marry him without proper screening??

Haba. . . . Stillwater, parent have control over their wards lives now. . .
Maybe . . because we dont have kids yet. . . we might not fully understand the parent-kid connection.
In yoruba land. . . there is an adage that say:
"What elders see while sitting. . . .kids cant even see while on a tree top."

You''re something .  But sorry some of us use our heads when it comes to love. Tumfulu and I can never ever, I repeat never ever have a conversation let alone mistakenly marry.

What if he makes a voodoo doll of you. . . . .Jazz u up(love portion or voodoo science).
As in, you are not conscious of what you are doing cos you are under his SPELL.
Do u expect your parents to just allow a vagrant to walk the aisle with you??

stillwater:

I'll make exceptions to that alone and nothing else.

The decision should be left to the partner if he/she still wishes to marry the other.

amebo no.1:

MrCrackles:

Fuc.k counselling, i decide if i want or not, if i dont, i will gladly take my marriage to the registry and straight to the reception if the pastor becomes fussy!
