ExperTrait:
oga.....its obvious you knw nothing abt family law... Orthodox Churches
particularly Anglican, Catholic, Methodist and so on..
you are issued a certificate of marriage which is same
as that issued by the Court registry so you do not
need to do a marriage in the Registry...

All these certificates you mentioned comes from the registry.

Those Churches just made the process easier for their member

The reasons are obvious my dear Toks2008.
My parent didn't get married in court ; Does that makes my mum single And to think my dad will wake one day and send her packing is imposibility that can never be possible cheesy grin

Besides, court marriage doesn't stop a crazy/unfaithful man from being crazy/unfaithful. It doesn't even stop them from impregnating another woman. 'At worst you will call for divorce'!

The important thing is marrying a good man your bone and flesh, even without any form of marriage, he will cherish and Love you!

Omotayor123 You just brought sentiment into Toks2008's topic.

What she meant with her points,,,,

1. If your father wanted d to leave your mother he would have. Forget say I'm be ur papa. And if ur mum isn't independent then u'd suffer without him paying a dime. U say its impossible... U aren't your dad. U can't control what ur dad sees or feels. So if ur dad leaves ur mum today or sends her away well, she doesn't have any claim as the legal wife. The truth is bitter but its still true.

2. God forbid, if your dad died and your family members from ur father's side decided to seize his properties at the time when u were still young perhaps, well, it'd b legal coz ur mum isn't the official wife by law. Make dem drag to court o or anything, all d properties go end up with the family members. That's the point OP was tryna make.

I wish them more years to their already long lasting marriage though. kiss

It's totally different. In this case, the couple are not expected to sign anything and no witness is expected to sign too.

You only have to present passport photographs of the couple and some pictures taken during the traditional marriage ceremony especially the one where the wife is handing over the cup of wine to the husband and when they both kneel before the wife's father for blessing.

Talking from experience.

Bro the certificate is the same, once it is coming from a recognized legal institutions.

Even the certificates issue by Churches are from the same courts and local government.

i.e. Ikeja local government registry

Couple A (traditional) collect certificate days after ceremony at Ikeja local government with prove of traditional marriage

Couple B(church) . Church issues the Ikeja registry certificate .

Couple C ( court). Couple goes to the registry with parent and friends. Sign the nessecary document and collect certificate .

All the same.

ON YOUR CLAIM>>>>SOURCE and SNAPSHOT OF THEIR CERTIFICATE
ON YOUR QUESTION>>>>AS ORDAINED BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

Em WAITING ON UR CLAIMS TO BE CONFIRMED>

And what claim is he waiting for.

Islamic Marriages are recognized by the Nigerian constitution.

So they are legal. And coupl issued nessecary documents.

You probably haven't been to one before.

What about protection of the man right what If it is the woman that wake up one day and say she doesn't like his face any more
And what if God's will is for the woman to die first. The most important thing is for God to give one his/her true partner. It's good to have a 'court wedding' but it doesn't guarantee a happy marriage or full protection for the women

I guess you are just as ignorant as some post I read here. What do you mean that his mom have no legal right to claim her husband things if the man is not alive? We are talking about Nigeria here! Nigeria constitution recognizes and upholds customary marriages. The are at pair with the court marriages.
Whatever you are doing make sure you have a will because in Nigeria judicial system there is always conflict of law. And customary laws most times wins. Lawyers in the house can help educate us about conflict of laws. Back to the op. I am not discouraging anyone. But if you have any type of marriage always have your will written. That is the guaranteed way of protecting your family. Remember once you have traditional and court marriage. You have invited the conflict of law and there will be validity test of the laws between customary and English law and it can go both ways. Only the wise will understand what I have stated.

Toks2008:
It is no longer news that tradition is the opium of the people and no one is contending that.

But when it comes to marriage,while some believe that without paying of bride price,the man can not be said to be married to a lady and some believe that without the white wedding,a marriage can not be said to have received GOD's blessings.

Well i'm not here to discus on that aspect of marriage and i had to drop this quick one as a result of the mentioned i got on a thread relating to this.

[size=13pt]I am not sorry to write this...

Any married lady who never had a legal wedding otherwise called Court or registry wedding is as good as single.Quote me anywhere in the world.
[/size]


And this is very true for some reasons but i will mention a few.

1. He can not just wake up one day and say he does not like your face again and send you out of your matrimonial home.
2. He dares not marry another wife except he divorces you
3. He must have a valid reason for divorcing you and must be able to convince the court.
4. You have protection under the law for yourself and your child(ren) in case he dies

I can continue to list several other reasons but let me just stop here.If you like, say you trust your husband,he loves you,he can never treat you bad..O.Y.O lo wa.

If you like let the man spend 1billion on your traditional wedding and do a white,blue,green,indigo wedding with a trillion naira. The fact is that these two ceremonies combined with all the money spent is not as binding and constitutional as a simple court wedding with just 4 people in attendance.

Unfortunately we have seen many people getting away with bad acts despite the fact that they had a legal wedding but the reason is because the affected individual usually lets go without putting up a fight due to high cost of legal battle and no thanks to parents and family members who always preach to them that "what is yours will always stay with you" and that they should let go which i see as stories for the gods.

Ladies be wise..as an endangered specie in the cruel world of men,legal wedding was specifically created to protect more of the lady's marital right so take advantage of it or ignore at your own risk.

I will stop here.

Praktikals:

The greatest 'protection' a wife can have in a marriage is the Love of her husband. When love is present, court marriage or no court marriage will not mean much.
Re: Any Married Lady Who Never Had This Is As Good As unmarried. by Bimpe29: 2:39pm On Mar 28, 2016
You're totally wrong. What's your definition of marriage?
So our grand parents that married before the emergence of Judicial system and court of laws, were actually unmarried according to you.
Even now, are there courts and registry every where?
Is it a must to be legally married in Islam and Christianity?
If No is your answers to the foregoing, then you're on your own.

Islamic Marriage was first recogised by Allah before Nigeria Constitution. Islamic marriage is not made legal by a court esp not a "court of Man" if you need an education on islamic marriage, Pls ask me. lol at the Bolded. Unlike you and the OP. I am happily married and I know what you know not. Court Marriage is null and void in islam because of many reason and one example is the below

And who issued the Marriage Certificate.

The court issues the marriage certificate either throug the church, mosque or marriage registey.

That's the only way marriage become legal.


I know you know it all even though you've never done business with the US embassy in your life that revolves around marriage license.

To others, please don't approach USEL with less than court wedding documents.
