A have a 12 years old boy when i was in my university and now about to getting married to another lady. On getting to the registry to make enquiry about registry procedures, i was asked if i have a child and honestly i said Yes coz i can't hide a child. I was told by the marriage registrar that i need to obtain a letter of divorce from d customary court in order to get on with my wedding plans despite d fact that i never got engaged or married to my baby mama. Lawyers in d house kindly shed more light to this issue. Thanks

Why didn't you tell them you were never married before, when they asked you for such letter?

...and what was their answer?

Mr man, u be "English".

You should not have mentioned it at all. Its like telling them u were married before.

The papers they will request from u, will almost make u forget about getting into a new marriage.

So, go to another registry and try to apply but this time, buy super glue and when they ask if u were married or had any kid before, use super glue to seal your mouth and nod to say NO.

Then get married to your love without wahala.

Be smart bro or else, u get your self into unnecessary wahala.

Its kind of a hack but it works.
