Yes

A lot of churches will make you feel other wise, thats their way.

Once you settle the parents traditionally you are married in the eyes of God simple, the court is for you to have a legal cert of sort. its for legal purposes and you say practically the same vows they say at the church (at least in ikoyi reg) joined with either bible or ring. So the church brouhaha is a repetition and more of a feferity.

If you now feel you need pastoral blessings after your wedding go to his office and he will pray for you that's all.


God recognizes court marriage don't let them deceive you.

As a Christian its not ideal to be joined outside church the pronouncement of the prophet is paramount to joining the husband and wife together
1 corr 6:1-7 gives an explanation about the Bible view on court

Prestige2050:
This comment is completely correct bt the problem is with the parent not understanding all dis also with the females and churches also add día own to the commotion. Some churches will go as far as telling an individual that if u r not married in a church, u r not married yet.

Yes both are traditional rites but Igba nkwu is not necessary, it is not recognized by God. Ibu mmanya is occassion for bride price payment which is the only thing God recognizes.a They are two different things and can be done in one day or separate day. So wat is ur point of argument with me

lexy2014:
I wasn't disputing ur position on bride price. This is what made enter d discussion

"Traditional marriage is not valid in the eyes of God" and d prophet issue.

That's y I asked about Abraham/Sarah who married under "ungodly" traditions but god still recognized their marriage. U don't a need a prophetic pronouncement 4 ur wedding. If it was a biblical requirement, then Jacob/Rachel, David/Abigail didn't wed properly. Prophetic pronouncement doesn't guarantee success in marriage. If that was d case Chris oyakhilome will still b married 2 Anita.

So many intending marriages have been frustrated by marriage committee in some churches. Some churches will even tell one to attend marriage classes for 6 months but after wedding the marriage still crashes. Some churches will even tell intending couples to summarise the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

Please, as a Christian by faith, is court wedding acceptable by God? Is it a must a Christian be joined by a church Pastor in the church?

Are you saying if a christain marries in the registry the marriage is not valid in the eyes of God and he can as well marry another person ?

luluman:
My point is show bible quotation to argue in Christianity not just argue.If you don't have any, then shhhhhhh.

NoToPile:


You have not answered my question, I can as well ask you to show me a quotation that invalidates a registry marriage (in fact any form of marriage at all) but I won't.

Now I will ask - Show me any biblical quotation that invalidates a registry wedding, tell me that if you are married at the registry the marriage is not acceptable before God ,Tell me that if you are married at the registry you can go and marry another person because the marriage is not valid in Gods eyes then we can take it from there.

You don't need to be rude you know, E never reach fight I don't argue Christianity, I discuss. No need for snide comments, if you can't do without that pls don't reply.

Traditional marriage is not valid in the eyes of God. Is it an occasion they pour libations for their ancestors? There is a difference between paying the bride price and traditional wedding, When the former is done, in the sight of God u become husband and wife. Now all other things that follow can as well be left out. That is why i used the word "ideal" in my first comment.
Now a prophet is a mouthpiece of God, and the bible says how shall they believe if they dont hear, so the pronouncement of a prophet is intended to voice out the seal of that marriage but spiritually the marriage is sealed once the bride price has been paid.
Now in court marriage u take an oath which has legal consequences if the oath is broken that is why people prefer to wed there, the same court can dissolve ur marriage and the two processes is biblically wrong. First bible says "let ur yes be yes and nay be nay" second the bible says "what God has joined together no man should put assunder"

No body is in a good position to answer this question because God's way is totally different from that of man.
