There is nothing like church marriage.

ok let just say traditional marriage or court and registry

As in all muslim Marriages is Illegal?

GrabHisBalls:
Do people get marriage certificate after traditional marriage? Why do some of you just rush to comment without understanding issues?

You have forgotten that Customary Marriage is recognised in law. Certificate does not matter, as long as it was properly done traditionally and consummated it is legal.

Duggedised12:
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.

It's true.
The branches gets the marriage certificate from the HQ which had earlier gotten it from the marriage registry.

Only churches which issues church printed certificates has problems.

ariesbull:


You aren't married but just in civil union

OK SIR.......i don hear

nisotid:

Why must you seek for divorce in the first place. Is marriage made for divorce or for partnership, procreation, fellowship, security and for purity. Do not give divorce a thought, enjoy your marriage.

GrabHisBalls:
If it's legal in the marriage act of 1990 why do I still have to go for a court marriage? And in a situation where I don't have the legal documents of the marriage being registered, why would a court reject my petition or claim my marriage is illegal?

The traditional marriage is legal, you on the other hand can still go ahead and do court wedding or proceed to do church wedding as well, that is your prerogative. However, the law of the land recognises Traditional/Customary marriages that is why we even have customary courts all over the country.

Note that by the Marriage Act, the LGA chairman or the King/Traditional ruler can issue Marriage Certificates to authenticate the traditional weddings.
