My sister it really matters but I must tell you that there are exceptions, I am a living testimony, my dad is a Muslim while my mum is a Christian, all the kids are Christians and my dad had no qualms with this. The question is will the guy be able to handle pressure from his people to convert his wife, they will not do this until she begins to have children for him.

If you are not ready to convert, please pray to God about this and be sure that God is really involved.

God will guide you IJN. Cheers

You are the unbeliever here. It us only unbelievers like the Pharisees that think Heaven is made for them only.

Please mind you, Muslims are not begging to marry you Church goers who are always half nakked on the streets.

I’ve gone deeper into both religious talk find the holes.

The Christians are always low key frustrating other religious be it Muslims and traditional but they will play victim card once they are given back the hate.


And I also found out that some Muslims can be so stupid that they don’t even question their religious teachings, the world is changing.

Why carry religious for head. It’s not only Nigeria Christians that will go to heaven. people in India, China and rest of the words believe in other religion so start to respect them...

even the Israelites are Jews not Christians

The Bible was edited by King James of England when nobody believed it “king James version” but they use it to colonize us

Go deeper into religious root then you’ll find out both Muslim and Christian be mumu. Believe in God and respect other people faith as long as they don’t fit the devil explained to you in your teachings.

Hmmm, I guess u are athiest ??

depends on how both parties feel about it. If one/both are fanatics japa.

But let me ask. Why do you want to get married?
Do you know marriage has no real benefits.

Re: Does Religious Differences Matter In Marriage? by Ellasure: 9:03am On Mar 14, 2021
Fyi the Islamic teachers have specially instructed their educated young men to marry Christian young ladies irrespective of whatever the ladies think or believe.

For material wealth you could be sucked into a future you will regret greatly. There are enough movies and films showing the marriage union between faiths and the joys and sadness that follows. It can be scarry if the man of other religions turned and demand his religion should be followed. Anything can happen.

Tinubu family is a case, true. Ask yourself the question what is the religion of the children of the union? Does Pastor madam Tinubu goes to church alone or with the children? How does she cope with the children going to mosque while she goes to pastor a church ? Journalism does not ask all the questions.

All that glitters is not gold. Shine your eyes before jumping the boat.

The comments on this topic from both Christians and Muslims shows religious intolerance.
Why can't we blacks take our time to reason objectively. In the normal activities of our life and our interactions with people of distinct religious beliefs,does religion manifest as a cause of disagreement.
We should remember that we were first human before we became any other thing. God in the light of Muslims,Christians,Hindus did not create a single religion. All religions have similar principles, and all of this principles bores down to being human,that is why no matter what religion you practice you will make heaven as long as you do the right thing.

It's either you're not aware of your foolishness, don't say what you dont know or what you're not sure of . Polygamy is not mandatory in Islam ,are you saying all muslims are married more than 1 wife ,this thing is choice.

Just so you know, a Muslim man is encouraged to marry non muslim Ladies to propagate islam but they are ready to kill their own daughter if she dares bring a Christian man home for marriage.


The question is are you ready to wear hijab and slam your head six times a day on the floor? Cos you and your children cannot escape it.
Trust me you're stewpid and you're not aware . How many Muslims have you seen or heard that killed their daughter because she married a Christian ,my 2 sisters married Christians and for your information Muslim pray 5 times daily and Christians also bow there heads to pray too.

But my daddy became Christian when he was grown up. My mum I Christian, we all attend sallah festival till date both christian and Muslim. My beautiful cousins are Muslims . my dad sister is alajah . another of my dad sister is christian and she married Muslim . but all her children goes to church mostly but stand as official Muslims. I don't do any religion and one babe I really like blocked me because I'm not Muslim.
From the devoted to the liberal religious once in my family we all love each other and relate very well. I'm Lagos ijebu from Epe. My family has royal lineage so a bit link to some fetish stuff but not all.

The lady that block me is from kwara. What I'm trying to say is , you can't separate reasonable people with religion. Only foolish people does that.

My dear there are issues that you need to know for your own posterity and safety. I a speaking from the point of marriage in Islam not fanatical view.

A marriage not conducted under the tenets of Islam is not valid by law. By direct implications, it may be used to deny you and your kids any share of his inheritance when he dies.

However, the respite you get is that he should either make you comfortable for the rest of your life by giving you a large share in his Estate.

His family will always use that against you when he is gone.

Another safety net is, you should conduct traditional marriage or you convert to Islam or he writes a will to take care of his estate.

The reason I am saying this is that the writers of the Nigerian constitution accepted both the civil law, customary law and religious laws as that guiding civil unions and inheritance issues. Primarily, the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution states clearly that it is the religion of the of the person that governs how his Estate will be shared.

I am currently in court over the issue of my father's Estate for the past fourteen years and I know what I am going through because if these provisions.

Please leave love out of this and understand the complications of what you are about to get into.

Good luck.

You christian are very bad! My mum destroyed my sis relationship with a good Muslim brother. cheesy funny enough if she bring anymatter to me I use to remind of her decision that were bad!

I hate religious bigot , they're all foolz . I was in a canteen some years back when one deeper life brother came to buy food and couldn't pay completely.

The guy sitting close to me with triple sag jeans paid the meal do the deeper life brother.

I just laugh , after everyone left I told the food seller , had it been the deeperlife brother was the one eating with a lot of money on him, while the triple sag guy was the one broke, the deeper life people I sabi will see it has a punishment from God.

Most of you bigot will commit a lot of sin unknowingly .

If your views are from the point of traditional laws and customs, which I believe you are not versed in from your questions, then I can understand. But the Cavaet of a child born outside wedlock in Yorubaland is based in the fact that the man's family recognized the child as his or not. Hence the appellate " OMO ALE". A child born outside wedlock does not have the same rights as the one born in it in his father's house, irrespective of his status in society and under any law in Yorubaland. That applies both in Civil and Islamic laws.

It's not about sentiments or tribe or religious affiliation. It's a fact if law.

So many inheritance issues are before courts for decades that has not been solved.

If your family has no problems with interreligious marriage and tolerance that does not mean others are cool with the idea. Some are ready to any length to adhere to the provisions of their religion in case of issues like this.

FRA Williams Family are still in court almost more or less than a decade after his death over his Estate.

I am telling you that the Provisions of Section 272 the Nigerian Constitution will prevail against other laws of the land if such cases go to court.

It states clearly that the religion of the late person will be used to share his estate after observing the necessary rites.
