A friend kept asking me this question. I learnt in some customs in Nigeria if you haven't slept with the girl you'll be refunded.
So with that custom can it be held on customary law to get a refund if you haven't slept with the girl.

Now let me share this story is about my friend whose name is Promise.
He met this girl as a virgin in secondary school so he made it very plain that he wants to marry her. Her parent were aware.
He couldnt have sex with her as a responsible man he decided to wait till she is fully grown in the course of waiting he put her in school. And not just telling her parents he wants to marry her, he told her and she fully agreed
He owns a betting shop and he is a graduate not a local man you'll say is not her type. It was later on by mistake he saw on the girl's sister's status that her sister he wants to marry is getting married. In shock he called the sister I dont understand my fiance is getting married and the sister blocked him, when he tried to call his fiance she blocked him as well.
When he went to the said family they told him luculently that she is getting married to another person of her choice that he'll get a full refund based on custom as he didnt sleep with her. The full refund will come from the man who is supposed to marry her because he didn't for one day sleep with this girl but trained her from secondary school to university not one day she asked help from her family.

Now she has gotten married he hasn't gotten anything. Since I discussed this with one of my friends he kept asking me if is not possible to get back your money. Note Mr Promise has gone in good faith.

But one of my friends kept asking me that so is not possible for a refund even in this kind of situation. So I said let me ask the house.

I guess the question doesn't concern me cus I've never been in such a condition before and can't ever be. Let the women wrapper who are mumu enough to spend for women to such an extent without seeing her pants come and reply what concerns them. Thank you

My oga u haven't loved a girl some feminist will still come and support her and say she should marry her choice.
If you love a girl really you'll feel all her pain me typing I've actually paid a girls school fees and her house rent at once. But we later broke up. It was just one year and we had sex it is different from this person promise.

That isn't love but stupidity.

Make her pay with her body , you were used bro. Pay boys to hang rape her as payment

Lightangel65:

That is illegal you know?

Its not only a refund you'll get, you'll also get a brain resetting slap. My opinion on this matter is that men who venture into such should receive sense and stop wasting their hard earned money on girls until they have done the needful on her.(marriage).

First, what is a “promise to marry”? A “promise” is defined as the manifestation of an intention to act or refrain from acting in a specified manner conveyed in such a way that another is justified in understanding that a commitment has been made; a person’s assurance that a person will or will not do something. A promise to marry is thus defined as a “betrothal”, an “engagement to be married” also termed “agreement to marry”. The promise to marry a contract comes into existence by the mutual exchange of promises by the parties to marry each other. A mere convivial or romantic relationship is not enough for a court to found an agreement to marry.

In the same vein as commercial contracts, a promise to marry can be oral, written, or otherwise. As an oral contract, the proof is determined by the same common law rules by which oral commercial contracts are judged. As a written contract, the evidence of a personal letter indicating an agreement to marry is enough to establish proof. Promise to marry can be inferred from the action or conduct of the party making the promise. Any action or conduct which directly suggests promise would constitute evidence and therefore proof of promise to marry. (Dr Steve Ogan, 2008). In Aiyede vs Norman –William (1960) LLR 253, it was held that the promise to marry need not take the oral or written exchange of mutual promise.

A germane criteria for a promise to marry to be legally binding apart from parties possessing the requisite legal capacity is that it must have consideration for it to be legally valid and enforceable. The evidence of consideration is the basis for establishing the existence of a contract. In a promise to marry case, the reciprocal promise of a woman to marry a man who promised to marry her is usually regarded as consideration. Other instances of consideration could include where for example a woman travels to another city/state/country to meet a man who promised to marry her! Does it include where a woman gets pregnant for her man in furtherance to the promise to marry? This is mootable!

To constitute a breach of promise to marry, two elements are essential: First it must be proved to the satisfaction of the court that there was a promise to marry under the relevant law. Second, it must be shown that one party to the agreement, whether the man or the woman, has failed or refused to honour the obligation. When the above are established, the injured party may sue the other for breach of the contract and claim damages thereof, although no damages may be recovered unless his or her testimony is corroborated by some other material evidence in support of such promise in line with section 197 of the Evidence Act 2004. What constitutes material evidence is a question of law for the court to determine

The breach of promise to marry could either be in the form of non-performance or anticipatory breach. There may be non-performance where the time for performance is fixed, for example where parties agree on a particular date, the failure or refusal of one of the parties to turn up for the marriage constitutes a breach. Where no date is fixed, the law implies that the promise is one to marry within a reasonable time or at the request of one party. Where however, the promise is subject to a condition precedent, for example consent of parents, there can be no breach until the condition is satisfied or fulfilled. In Aiyede’s case (supra), the plaintiff’s case was dismissed as there was a condition precedent to the fulfilment of the defendant’s promise to marry, which in this case was obtaining the consent of the plaintiff’s father.

The breach of promise to marry takes the form of an anticipatory breach where there is outright repudiation of obligation by a party, or by such conduct on his part that’s puts it out of his power to perform his obligation. An anticipatory breach may occur where before the contractual date for performance, a party to the contract announces his intention not to perform, which announcement the other party could treat as wrongful termination of the agreement and head to court. Anticipatory breach can also occur where one party to an agreement by his own act puts it out of his power to perform his obligation. Such is the case where a party to the contract to marry elopes and marries someone else .The case of Uso v Iketubosin [1975] WRNLR 187 depict this form. In that case, the defendant promised to marry the plaintiff in 1947. In 1957, the defendant married another woman in breach of his promise to the plaintiff. The Court held that the defendant’s act constituted a breach for which the plaintiff was entitled to damages.
What are the damages for breach of promise to marry? The quantum of damages is generally subject to the rules of remoteness i.e the damages should be that which flow directly from the breach or which are within the contemplation of the parties at the time of the promise. In this light, damages awarded by courts fall under the following categories: general damages e.g. compensation for the loss of consortium of the other party; injured feelings, wounded pride, etc ; special damages affecting property e.g for money spent or financial loss sustained by the plaintiff as a direct result of the defendant’s breach of the promise to marry; recovery of the engagement ring and presents. An interesting thing to note is that damages could also be claimed against a third party who induced the breach. Whatever be the damage claimed, one thing the court would not do is to grant an order of specific performance as no court would force any one to marry another.

Thank u very much Mr lawyer. Let's hire u

A guy opened a thread yesterday asking which is better: training a girl in school with the hope of marrying her, or training a dog you plan to eventually sell.

Too bad the mods closed down the thread for no good reason. I beseech Seun Osewa to overhaul his biased mod team. Anyway, it is better to train a dog you plan to eventually sell than train a girl in school with the promise of marrying her. When will men ever learn?

fear lawyers with everything you have ..... This is pure nonsense and it won't stand a bit in the law court once the lady deny any promise of marriage and the family also deny knowing the guy . even with evidence of payment, if the lady tell the court that , he decided he wanna be of help because I've been a good student from secondary and no marriage plan whatsoever, the court will just close the case


lawyers will make u feel like there are higher chances whereas, u don't have 0.2 % of winning



if he claims he can win your case , let him
represent u free and wen he wins the case, proceeds will be shared 50_ 50.

Are you minding that lawyer and the gullible op? Except the girl and her family don't deny anything, the OP's friend has 0.000% chance of getting the money in court. Even someone with an average IQ should know this without creating a thread to ask.

Lawyers be dishing high hopes since time immemorial to swell their pockets from cases.
