Yes for legality purpose. But again, some Orthodox churches can still pull through due to its recognition world wide.
yeah,but i heard even if church head quarters is licensed ,the branch church still has to get license for its parish ,don't know how true that is.

They're marrying by christian standards not court standards.

People make processes, processes don't make people

That's because the so-called leaders have refused to legalize traditional marriage. They're the ones to tell the embassy(ies) what's legal and what's not.

You have a point.

In the Catholic Church for instance, once you are issued a certificate, it's recognized. Some mushroom churches certificates won't fly in the aspect of legality

Legality as in if court marriage abi registry is involved, church bruhaha is just a formality.
Some churches are licensed by FG to issue out marriage certificates. What they're trying to say here is that with the increase in the rate of churches in Nigeria, only a few are licensed. I guess most couples are ignorant of this and if you had yours in a church that's not licensed, court marriage is a necessity.

You people are yarning apata for there

It was only traditional marriage that was done in the bible as white wedding was as man made plan to cushion the former to suit our lifestyle as humans we are.

When ones a bride price is paid you are married to the lady and for a pastor to bless and pray for the union was the aim of the white wedding that came to be.

It is not illegal for Buhari to ignore court orders?

It is not illegal for a senator to abuse a nursing mother in a public shopping mall?

It is not illegal to trick off all corruption charges against Maina even after telling pensioners money?

It is not illegal to steal a legislative Mess at the senate chamber?

Make una no make me talk again o

Blockers in government everywhere and at all levels. Instead of looking for a way to correct their wrongs they are busy making untenable and idiotic accusations.

Carry your traditional marriage go court for divorce and see whether they will listen to you

that's why women will be scared of being thrown out of the house coz the law won't back them .. why?... you only paid bride price to the village elders so if issues arise you must go back to them to settle it
say what you know, customary court handles traditional divorce. I have seen few. Even at the main court during inheritance cases, traditional marriage is fully recognized

So after spending like 10m on ogogoro, tuber of yam, lace and goats, your marriage is still not recognized by law? Lmao grin

Meanwhile, it takes less than 15k to actually legalize a marriage in the same country.



The level of ignorance and illiteracy in this continent is nauseating

Very unfortunate situation. If not that it's compulsory to sort out traditional marriage, many would have bypassed and proceeded to registry.
