Thank you veragistonline for this beautiful post. I will like for you to share some more and I have some questions too. If I live in USA and I return to marry a Nigerian wife under Nigerian marriage laws and we both move back to USA. Will I be required to conform to US laws which gives my wife legal rights to a certain percentage of my property in case of a divorce? Will American law supersede Nigerian law if the divorce is filed in US court or will the court reject it? Do I have any stand at all if we don't have a prenuptial agreement? Please enlighten me. Your help in this regard will be hightly appreciated. Thanks in advance. 6 Likes |

You are not ready for marriage A single lady who was down and out on her luck went to a fortune teller, hoping to find a reason to continue living. The fortune teller found something positive in her future and told the single lady, ‘You will be proposed to 3 times in the next 6 months.’ She said, ‘No, it will only happen once.’ When asked why, she said ‘Cos I’ll accept the very first proposal and there’d be no need for the other two!’ I found this an interesting story because many people have gotten to a point when they have had to say this especially due to pressure from family and society. I attended a couple of weddings lately. As in eh, ladies, we really know how to have fun with ourselves. Underneath the facade of just looking good in their bridesmaid dresses and asoebis was the age-long scheme of all womankind. I noticed the coy looks under the smoky eyelashes. Was it the flirtatious giggles or the fake British accents in singsong voices? Everybody had something planned to catch new suitors. Yes, it was all about the new catches. It was all about being the next in line. One of the new acquaintances I made asked me a question. He may have been at loss on how to make meaningful conversation but I found his question quite interesting. He asked me what age I feel a lady should be ready to get married. My first response was a long grin which I’m sure made him feel embarrassed. Then I laughed out loud and asked him, ‘ready or ripe?’ He was just as perplexed as you are now. I went ahead to remind him that his question applied to both sexes. That inspired this post. The question is, are you ripe or ready for marriage? Think about it this way… Do you have a life-sized chip on your shoulders, always thinking that your opinion is the best and your decision ought to be final. Are u more likely to throw a tantrum once someone disagrees with you? Then you are ripe, not ready for marriage. Do you always need someone to make decisions for you and somehow you have come to believe that your future depends on someone else? Then you are ripe, not ready for marriage. Do you need someone who will meet all your financial needs? Then you are ripe not ready for marriage Are you more excited about the wedding than the marriage? Sure the beautiful ring, white gown and cake are alluring but when the dress comes off and all the well wishers are gone then starts the real thing. If you’ve not spent time thinking about that part then you’re ripe, not ready for marriage. If you’re doing it just because all your friends are getting married too then I guess I don’t need to tell you that you’re ripe, not ready for marriage. If you’re not ready to put someone’s needs first before yours then you’re definitely ripe, not ready for marriage. Suddenly it doesn’t matter anymore what he does for a living, whether you love him or whether he really loves you…lady, you’re ripe, not ready for marriage. Are you thinking about your family and what they are likely to benefit from your marriage? Then you’re ripe, not ready for marriage. Are you more concerned about appending the ‘Mrs’ to your name than the character of the ‘Mr’? Then you are ripe, not ready for marriage. Have you started overlooking that character flaw that causes you to have a nagging feeling in your mind? You may just be ripe, not ready for marriage. Marriage requires mental maturity and not just physical maturity (I’m not encouraging #child marriage by the way). Mental maturity requires the ability to make decisions after considering important factors and to stand by your decisions. Think about it! www.femmetotale.com.ng 7 Likes 1 Share |

from what i can understand here, court marriage never overrides church marriage, once the church is registered. dont mind my vocabs...my question is, "what is there are two different law in both court marriage and in church marriage, which one should be attended to? for example when an issue of divorce comes up, and you weeded in a registered church and also in a registry marriage, the church says nothing like divorce until death do us apart, and court says, divorce if you cant go on, so here, which one should override each other |

lrdval: The church vows are not laws, they are just promises you made to each other before God and they are not legally binding. A licensed church and a licensed minister plus witnesses is same as the registry, and operates under the same act...the additional stuff done in church is purely entertainment. Like the OP said, if you did both and it does not matter the order, one does not cancel the other, you just wrote the exact same exam twice. 1 Like |

Please, i need your help to explain this issue to me. My wife and I did Church marriage far back 2013. Now my wife want to go for her NYSC and we need a Court marriage certificate so that she can be posted to our state of residence. I inquired from a Customary court about getting a marriage certificate instead of going to the local government Registry. They told me they can offer me DECLARATION OF MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE. Please will this certificate be treated same as the Registry Certificate of marriage? |

veragistonline:Wow!!! Truly ignorance is bliss. I thought once I agree to a court marriage, my own is over. But sir, if the court marriage doesn't mean my properties are divided between me and my wife if divorce occurs, why then is there a prenuptial agreements because there could be cases where the spouse may want to take advantage of the fact that they have kids and fleece the man. 2 Likes 1 Share |
