I guess the bolded is based on where you come from, as in your tribe right? Cos as far as logical sane minds are concerned, the children belong to the parents, as in the husband and wife, in case of divorce and whatnot, custody will/should be given to who is best suitable to take care of them efficiently.

Seems like Op is on a mission to create baseless unwarranted arguments and unnecessary war of words between both genders

Only women who are married monogamously under the marriage act (in court or in an approved church) have the right to say “My husband is cheating on me”! If you are only married traditionally, your husband never vowed to be faithful to you!

when you are married only under native law and custom your husband has the right to marry as many wives as he wants and there is NOTHING you can do about it. Also your children belong to him custody wise under native law and custom.

habsydiamond:
if they wer handed down by them... Was it indicated that with only traditional marriage alone, the husband is entitled to marriage more wives... Majority of our forefather and grandparents indulge in
marrying more than one wife because they are rich then and they see marrying many wife as a way to flaunt their wealth.

Biglittlelois:
Where is it explicitly stated that all traditional marriages is automatic polygamy or adultery approved? Show us proof, link pls, don't just spew your own opinion as fact.

Biglittlelois:

Are you for real right now? You made up a marriage law of 1920 to prove your automatic adultery and polygamy assumptions? Lol and I actually took you serious. Kobo, I don't do assumptions, I do facts, and I don't like arguing baselessly, seems like you love the continuous back and forth and going around in circles, I'm done here,

Pls don't quote me so I won't have to quote you.

Only recognised type of marriage in the bible is traditional..

Sterope:
Lmao. You are so wrong. Legal marriage won't make a tiny difference in your relationship. He will marry more wives, the children he recognises outside wedlock will have a right on his properties and it won't stop him from cheating. You can sue for bigamy but good luck with that

Who wants the headache that comes from going to court?

maureensylvia:


Unreasonable response, this is why you never made it in life

Dotman2210:


Hahaha, wicked

sanpipita:
If there's no exchange of fidelity vows how then is fidelity only meant for the woman, your point is very illogical

TheGreatOne90:
Enter court marriage with nigerian woman, at your own risk. Na your property and money she dey target so

ClassicMan202:


Why are you arguing like someone high on some substance? If you don't know about your culture and traditions go and ask an elder

matm:
Once dowry is paid and accepted,marriage has taken place.

Kobojunkie:
What is traditional marriage?
There are typically no oaths or agreements taken by either party on the issue of adultery, are there?,

Sleekfingers:
I am from the southwest.... traditional wedding favours the men the most.....the man can marry a second wife or impregnate any woman.....and there is nothing the Ist wife can do about it.....na only begging go end am........

That's why I strongly advice women to insist on court wedding......if the man do anyhow, he go see anyhow........

Kobojunkie:
You are terribly mistaken. With court marriage, polygamy is automatically not allowed. And in the case of a divorce, the risk of walking away empty-handed is greatly reduced.

Oga,is welding our cultuer or the white-man's culture? Why doing tradition b4 wedding? It all depends on who is involve. A man can wed and still be committing adultery.

Kobojunkie:
You are clearly not processing any of this at all. Whenever you begin to, maybe we can continue from there.

Saintmary:


Ekìtì dominant in Yorubaland?

Wetin we no go see from all these children.
Ekìtì dominant? Mogbó tun tun.
Very soon you people will start to call Olúwòó of Ìwóland A-class king because of his exuberance.

Your choice of words is just bad. You could have said popular or well-known.

Come here let me school you if you don't have enough knowledge.

The man never ready to marry more wives. How much do these women get in Nigeria?

Women in traditional marriages don't walk away completely empty handed as well in customary courts.
