There is no such law given.
You only need to take a cue from all the marriages done in the OT and that in the NT that Jesus Christ was in attendance to understand what is needed and required of one.

D wedding u referencing that Jesus attended, was it a Christian wedding or a Jewish traditional wedding? What does "Christian wedding" entail? Is there anywhere in d Bible that speaks of "Christian wedding"? Can u conduct "Christian wedding" without first conducting traditional wedding? If it was so important, y does d church ask couples to do traditional wedding first?

Graduateacher:



Read my post again, I said church wedding only needs the presence of the minister of God and the couple and members of both immediate extended families (a cousin of mine married like this), if anybody choses to make theirs elaborate, that is their business. The white dress was to signify purity of the bride but now that almost every bride is pregnant during church wedding, there's absolutely no point in wearing it. The vail was to show virginity but now that people engage in premarital sex, there's no point in wearing it.

It's only in the some parts of Nigeria that they've made it compulsory by imposition, it's not a must in our constitution. There are people who chose to do only church wedding and they are living fine

There are also people who choose to do only traditional wedding & they are living fine. But u still didn't answer d questions i asked

no I disagree its only on honey moon a man can sleep with me

Jesus attended a Jewish wedding. There is nothing like Christianity when Jesus was on earth. Christianity started after his ascension.

So Christians are expected to conduct Christian marriage

Please who forced Jesus to turn water into wine?

Criticaltemp:
Traditional marriage is far na, immediately after the introduction ceremony.. Oga, na ur wife b DAT.. Whether u pay her BP or not.. Uve made ur intentions known so ure now her hubby..

Graduateacher:


Yes, but such people should be practising African traditional religion instead of Christianity.

Back to your question, I already posted a reply, it's not constitional. Our constitution doesn't require all types of marriages, just one will suffice. The Catholic church will insist on church marriage before a couple is allowed to receive communion.

Check very well, it's your kinsmen that insist on traditional marriage to reap the couple off and perpetuate generational strongholds


*My sister and get husband did only church marriage

Am not talking about d constitution. In ur first post, u talked about d law of God. This what u said:

"Any law that doesn't conform to the desires of a black man's joy stick is discarded. Even the law of the God they worship is thrown out in obedience to their erection, enjoy."

And I responded by asking u this:

"So what is d law of God concerning d subject matter?"

Uptill now, u haven't been able to shed light on d law u made reference to.

Later on u said this:

Marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled. Read through the wedding at Cana which Jesus attended. Will Christ attend a traditional ceremony which entails libation pouring and other sacrifices to gods of the land, will he perform miracles and manifest his signs in such a place?

If you honor traditional marriage over church wedding which is blessed by a priest/pastor then you are not fully a practicing Christian. I find most Africans swinging both ways especially when it concerns burial and marriage.


These are d questions I asked u that u haven't answered. U just dancing around d issue without addressing d questions I asked:

D wedding u referencing that Jesus attended, was it a Christian wedding or a Jewish traditional wedding? What does "Christian wedding" entail? Is there anywhere in d Bible that speaks of "Christian wedding"? Can u conduct "Christian wedding" without first conducting traditional wedding? If it was so important, y does d church ask couples to do traditional wedding first?

What isn't constitutional? What is d one marriage that u say d constitution requires?

shadeyinka:

Half truth is no truth.

Traditional Wedding is Real Wedding only if the hypocritical couple would not go to the church to do ANOTHER wedding.

That's the point

deebrain:
You are right.

The real marriage is the traditional marriage.

The reason why church marriage is yet required amongst Christians is because, its more or less the "discipline" marriage.

In African traditional marriage, you can marry as many women as possible. Ditto for the courts if you have a good reason.

In church marriage, you aside being getting married to your woman, you are taking an oath to be with only her for life. Any other marriage after this is taken with great reservations.

That's why many countries for documentation reasons approve church or mosque and court marriages to prevent possible complications rather than traditional marriages.


Thanks.

Referencing from the first wedding in the book of Genesis, the Lord himself precided over it. It was his idea. Now, we as Christians are not worshipping any other God besides the one who conducted the first marriage ceremony. Now, who are the people representing God here on earth, is it your ancestor or your spiritual leader which is your priest or pastor. Was libation, kolanut and offering to the gods of the land conducted by God when he brought Adam and Eve together?


Regarding the wedding in Cana, which God do the Jews serve? isn't He the same God we Christians are serving? was Jesus a Jew or not?

If there's no law, y did d person I responded to talk about law? D marriages u referring to in d OT& d one u said Jesus attended in d NT, were they Christian weddings or Jewish traditional weddings?

djon78:



Which biblical scripture backs up this your statement?

Sterope:
Don't you think that is very subjective? What makes a marriage? Is it not the coming together of both families to bless the union? If that is the case, every thing else after is extra, it cannot remove or add to the traditional marriage.

bixton:


Jewish weddings both in OT and NT.

Please point to the law as it concerns weddings as written in the Bible based on the subject matter?

Graduateacher:



All three marriages are recognized by the law. If you're a Christian honor God by making Christian marriage your priority and not traditional marriage. Insisting on having sex with your wife after traditional marriage instead of after the church wedding shows that you're not honoring God as you should, if you're a Christian.
