She asked me if my family will allow me to marry her I said that should be my decision.

That should be your decision.

Why are you now 'fearing'

Except you think your FAM would influence your decision but don't allow them do that.

One Hero beer for you.

If he says it's his decision and was serious then why the sudden change of heart?

Answer these salient questions:
What's the gender of the lady's baby, male or female?
-who is the father of the baby
-where does the father of the baby live? Same town or another state?
- after she gave birth to the baby, did the baby's father carry out any traditional rite on her -engagement or marriage?
- how often does she communicate or see the baby's father.

If its a baby boy she gave birth to, its VERY LIKELY the father will keep close monitoring or communication with the lady and u may not like such. The father will always call to make arrangement for the boy's welfare and anytime the boy's dad is in town, he would want to see ur wife to discusd about the boy's welfare.U know that old firewood burns very fast especially if the man is rich and has swag. He can easily continue codedly from where he stopped with ur wife.
I know a man who denied his son, a perfect carbon copy, he was forced to pay for welfare, he refused, the son is a graduate today, the father still doesnt accept him, and they all live in thesame town.

Copied from @decatalyst comment.
The first mistake is letting this kinda of news to be discovered. You are supposed to call whoever is closest to you between your dad and mom and explain the situation to him/her. This would have doused the tension by the time you present her to the whole family.
@OP since it didn't work that way. read the screen shot below.

If You Both Are Convinced In Yourselves! Nothing. I repeat, NO THING can stop you from being ONE! It is just a matter of firm determination. And stronger will from You Both!
Then, comes the another part: where not just you two are involved, but families are also involved.
So, better idea will be, to get a few members in your favour. and she should also do the same.
Once U have done it, then ask them, how you should go ahead for it? Yes, leave it onto them.
@ op!

if you listen to this kind of people who have sold their yansh to the devil, Oyo is your own!

Though the concerns of your family are founded, at the end of the day however, you are the one who will LIVE with this girl, not them.

As a man, when you are ready to marry, you don't take a girl to your parents for approval.

No.

You go to inform them.

If you really want this girl, be respectful, but firm. Tell them she's who you want to spend the rest of your life with.

See this as life's way of testing your resolve.

On a brotherly note, I hope this is not a hasty decision, or a poorly considered one.

Let your family understand that you love her and there's nothing wrong with being a single mum. If you eventually go ahead and marry, have it at back of your mind that your family might want to frustrate her. If you know that you will not be able to stand up for her and protect her against your family, kindly let her go.

SmartMugu:
Bro, start thinking differently. You said you love her, what's ur idea of love? A pretty woman with a cute face, some bum and titties u can feel good about after marrying her?
Have you heard of women making a complete u-turn to become a completely different person from what you thought u fell in love with as soon as u put a ring on their finger or they have a baby by you?
Bro, be smart, and not a mugu. What happened to her first baby-daddy? So, you'd prefer being a husband to her versus being her next baby-daddy if we want to take it that way.
You said she's 22, I'm assuming ure in ur 20's too. Why is marriage #1 on your mind now? Are you of one of our notorious tribes known for marrying women that haven't gotten to that age they can differentiate their left from right?

Calm down bro. Don't get tied down by someone in that crap termed 'love', else you may end up regretting ur actions for years.

thank you!
marrying a single mother are the most dangerous act you have ever done!

you are never the father of that child and it will always be at the back of ya mind.


you can never love that child equally and that child will surely look for her bastard father someday in he/her life.

blood is thicker than water!

young man, you love her but I can tell you that you are not emotionally strong for this. You will immediately become a father to a child of about 7years taking full responsibility of her or his upkeep before your own biological children are born. and when They come would you withhold your love from your first child. think about this. i conclude that you are infatuated

the challenge is that MOST of US fail to realize that OUR families ARE OUR TRUE flesh and BLOOD who NO matter WHAT want the best for us at almost every point in time.

there's so much more to "MARRIAGE".
it's always interesting that IF and when a FAMILY IS against one partner THINGS usually go WRONG.

I will support 100% if you can answer these questions
1. If the lady in question was your daughter, will you drive away any man that comes to seek her hand in marriage because she is a single mother?
2. If the table was turned around, what will be your decision? That is, assuming the single mother is your sister or your daughter.
At times, all we need to do is put ourselves in the other person's shoe

@Op, listen to this... " If u don't marry that girl, another person(maybe someone berra than u) will marry her. Since u know this, back to ur topic, that a girl gave back at d age of 15 doesnt mean anything. It was just a mistake, most girls commit abortion like a 'million' times and still get married with their dirty parts hidden. I ve noticed that even though our parents wants d best for us, they can be very selfish. They want to keep up a face not minding their children's happiness. My fiancé's mum kept finding fault with me but d son stood his ground. That is what i call a man, its not disrespect, its called know ur boundaries with ur spouse and ur family. I told my fiancé that d way ur mum doesn't like me is d way my mum doesn't like u cos she wanted me to marry a richer guy. What should u do? Wisely let ur parents know why u should marry this girl, invlolve ur closer uncles and aunties, let them see reasons with u though it will take a long time but dnt give up if u think she's worth it. My mum will say "that she's has given birth before means she's fertile" lolz... Goodluck wink

The devil you know, is better than the one you don't know. Is it because she is decent enough to have her baby, the one your parents want you to marry, do you know how many she has aborted. My dear if the girl is a nice girl and you love her enough to marry her. Try and convince your people and ask God To help you. The girl is unfortunate to get pregnant out of the tens of thousands of girls that have premarital sex. Do not judge her because of her past mistakes.

If u wanna be happy, u better start doing the things that makes ur heart beat. All these family palava sef, it's hard to find someone and wen u do, it's one problem or d oda. My advice, don't let go, even if u have to quarrel with ur family (last resort), with time, everyone will learn to accept her especially after giving u a male child (if u are igbó). I don't want u to look back someday and regret letting go. You should also know that if issues arise, u are on your own. So, man up and protect ur princess
