"Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh" Despite the above words from God; Note the word "therefore" denoting finality and Scriptures that Still goes ahead under grace to say "Let everybody mind his own business" Nigerian In-Laws will leave you in utter confusion and a case of pishmal dishmal as to what their own version of marriage is or their understanding of the words above.

If there is one in a million reason I detest marriage that will be the issue of In-Laws poking noses in their sons marriage. If you are a Yoruba man you will understand what am saying.Hardly will you see any marriage being influence by the In-Laws. I mean I don't get it; why won't they just mind their business and Let the couples live their own life or are they telling us we are too dumb to understand anything or what?

true but According o culture.. Its the families that get married to the respective persons...so they feel they can exercise rights over the home...

It Still doesn't pacify the situation or justify their action with the course of discussion.... What about the freedom given and ordinated by God the inventor of marriage.... why will In-Laws who believe in that God be restraining this freedom
