It works in Nigeria. Gather assets first, then e go shock you

Oga..have u seen a court handle divorce before??
I’ve seen it many times
No Nigerian judge will ask a man to split what he owns into tow for any wife....
Hypocrisy will not allow them pass such judgement....
The worst is tell you to pay two years rent for your wife and Child upkeep at the rate of N5000 per child asides school fees and other basic things..

U think this is abroad where they will chase the man out of his property and order him to pay spouse support for a woman another man will be fvcking.....
Is like u don’t know this Nigeria and why things don’t work here

Your wedding in a catholic, Anglican or methodist church is a court wedding/wedding at the registry. We are so ignorant in this country

You sound pathetic!
Why do lots of single guys fear marriages nowadays if not that they worry will live the rest of their lives pleasing their wives and kids?
Marriage that works requires the sacrifices of the two parties.
Don't make it look like one party does more than the other.

Really? Like seriously I sounded pathetic? Okay. But the answer to your question is very simple. Most young people are scared of marriage simply because of the financial responsibilities not because of what you wrote. Give an average young man financial freedom, they can even marry more than one wife especially in Africa.

As regards the sacrificial part, I stated it obviously in my last paragraph yet you still said I was pathetic.

If our fathers were extremely worried or rather scared like this generation, then most of us wouldn't have been born.
Marriage is beautiful if you find the right person and you will definitely worry less about assets sharing.

There are a lot of benefits for men:
1) If your wife died, all her properties belong to you.
2) If your wife dies, you are the one to decide where and how to bury your wife, not her family members.
3) Court wedding stops every family members from interfering in your marriage matter. The parents of your wife do not have a say in anything that concerns your marriage.
4) Court wedding take away every responsibility to your in-law from you. You are not under any obligation to buy anything for your in-law or do anything during burial of any of them
5) Whoever interfere in your marriage relationship is liable to 3 months imprisonment including your wife's mother.
6) If the husband dies, the properties automatically belongs to the wife and children. No family member will come and reap where they did not sow. Even the father of the husband have no say in the properties of the deceased person.

I did Court wedding and I'm enjoying it. Christmas is coming, I have no responsibility to give anything to in-laws and I mean it. I don't even go to greet them and don't want them in my house, because it is not a statutory obligation under the marriage Act.

Why are people always believing that it’s the men that will die first? And why do men die first? Men should start doing things that will make them stay longer or live healthy. More men are dying and leaving women behind.



men that carry 70-80% of house contributions die at early 60yrs, the one that carry 100% of house contributions die early 50yrs

You are absolutely correct. Its very annoying to hear a woman say " your children " " I bear children for you" " i am taking care of your children " . that's referring to her husband. Women ACTUALLY owns the children they only bear the man's name.

I have a question and I will be happy to get an answer to it.
My question is can a Catholic wedding certificate stand in place of a court wedding in that aspect since it is a registered place of worship?

My church Baptist issues both certificates. Religious bodies can issue the marriage certificates

This is the question that an ilitrate should be asking.

Reminds me of a Yorùbá movie.

Wife had been pestering her husband to do court wedding, he refused, the wife's parent tried, he still didn't.
Told them he will not and he didn't see the need for it and probably didn't favour him.

One day, the company he worked for decided they were going to send him and his family out of the country, maybe to head a department. He was so happy until he found out he needed his marriage certificate in order to process the whole package.

Come and see begging, the wife refused, he went and begged the wife's parent, then they reminded him of how he said court wedding is of no use for him.

Abeg, for sake of formality, do what is right in time.
If you don't have an ulterior motive, then do all that is proper.

Very sad that you had to bring this here but then Nollywood is credited with being the most uninspiring movie space globally.

Why will the man beg the wife to agree to a court marriage? this is rather questionable as the reverse should be the case. He is the one being sent abroad, the others are appendages. the wife and kids are even the greatest beneficiaries. As a matter of fact the inlaws are second line beneficiaries before the man himself. So many options exist for the guy ranging from going alone, right through to getting a second wife.

For the records, there's no such thing as a 'Court Wedding'.

What you see there is called a Statutory Marriage (marriage under the Marriage Act)

A statutory marriage can either take place in a licensed place of worship, or in a Marriage Registry.

So it's not a thing of having or not having hidden benefits. Anyone who doesn't want a Statutory Marriage can go ahead to marry under native law and custom.

It's a matter of choice, and effect.

If you want to do a court wedding, sign a prenup.

If she refuses, she is after your money.

Court weddings only favour the women.

The only reason for a court wedding is if you intend relocating out of the country.

Left to me, the only wedding i will do is the African traditional wedding.

That is the only thing God and my ancestors recognize. I detest white weddings. I see it as an avenue to waste funds and showoff. Do your traditional wedding, hold the reception, Go home and enjoy your companion.

Make sure you sign a prenup. The ladies we have these days are out to ruin you.

Some people have lost their house to divorce in Nigeria. This is not hearsay. If the woman demand for your assets in the divorce, your name na sorry.

Most times, they don't demand for assets, just child support. If they ever demand for assets, they always get it, except there is a prenup. Divorce is not usually up to the judge alone. it's also upto the parties getting divorced and their lawyers.

The reason we see assets being split in western divorce is that the women, and some men, there always demand for assets. They know the law allows them to have a share of the assets acquired during the marriage. Nigerian women are not that aggressive.
