Good evening everyone, I need your candid opinion as I am about to return my proposal ring to my husband to be. We plan on traveling out of the country next year after getting married. All of a sudden he has been insisting on us not having a court wedding. He just wants us to do traditional wedding and that’s all!…I have tried to change his mind but he is really adamant about it. This is someone I have been dating for close to 6 years

Don’t wanna discourage you, that dude is up to something fishy.
He has plans for the future you aren’t aware of.

Only a very foolish man will opt for court wedding when he intends to travel out with his spouse.

How many stores do we read here day on day out about men that have been rendered homeless and penniless by their Nigerian wives abroad.

When in Nigeria, the act like innocent, little princesses. Once you marry her in the court's and travel out, she transforms into a devilish tigress.

Your man is an indeed very wise man.
From the look of things, your plan is to ride on his finances to travel out of the country, then after some time, rape him in the divorce courts.

You are very wicked and demonic.
Tell me, why are you insisting on court wedding if not for your devilish and evil intents.

God will punish you pig.
May God help that man not to marry a wicked and scheming devil like yourself.

Return the ring and go your way. Is it by force to marry in court?

When women started exploiting court marriage against their husbands abroad, e dey sweet. Men are gradually becoming wise and dumping it.

I think the problem here is in the how he intends to go about protecting himself. He could easier protect himself by signing a prenuptial agreement with his wife-to-be. But you and i know that traditional marriage here in Nigeria would not keep divorce from happening even from abroad, but it can keep her from leaving Nigeria with him. So..... yes, the problem is the how he intends to protect himself.

By the way, what makes you think her loyalty means anything to him if after 6 years he still intends to take out traditional marriage insurance against her??

1. Women generally will turn the tables around if a man asks for a 'prenuptial agreement' - that's for sure. Heck, most women won't even sign it. So the guy man is doing what he thinks is best.

2. Like I previously hinted, she may have given him vibes that would make him feel this way. No man will see absolutely loyalty in a woman and will want to insure himself especially in a country in Nigeria where family values are strong. But who knows if she has been given him 'feminist vibes' throughout the 6 years? You think even if he loves her, he won't want to insure himself? Nahhh.. Men are getting wiser.

His probably not going for court...not because he doesn't love you.


But it's obvious you guys will be travelling on a visit, tourism visa... ur hubby to be his trying to appear single when he land so both of you can easily look for a partner to marry and get documents... while you guys regenerate back in the near future and marry fulltime.

What do you think will happen if they try to travel abroad as husband and wife without a wedding certificate?

First of all do you think they can travel without that?
They have to travel with some proof of marriage even if it wasn’t issued by a court (but I’ll let y’all know now that depending on where they are going. Only a govt issued certificate is acceptable). Let say they do manage to go without a court cert but they offered some form of proof marriage, do you think she can’t use that same proof for whatever evil y’all think she’s planning to commit?

Just think about it.

If you guys want to travel out, chances are that he's aware of family laws over there that favours women and not men. But that's not the main issue because many Nigerian couples are still getting marriage documented before travelling out.

I think you or someone else may have subtly given him the idea of uncertainty of what will happen when he marries you and travels out with you. We've read stories about how Nigeria ladies go abroad and turn to lions in the household because of their family laws. Guy man wants to protect himself. Forget 6 years, women will still be women. I can't think of anything else than that. The solution is to give him an assurance of loyalty.

It’s unfortunate you’ve wasted 6yrs of your life with this guy. He obviously has other plans and not ready to FULLY commit to you. For him, there’s an inevitable that he’s trying to be prepared for. This is not the kind of man you’d want to build your life with and around.

My advice is for you to find the strength to move on as hard as it is, better now than later. The marriage may not last long if you go ahead with him as he’s already planning a smooth exit before the union starts proper.

All the best!

1. Marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman, so also is a prenuptial agreement. undecided

Not all women react similarly to it so no need for the generalization. Also, it is so much better than what this man is offering OP which amounts to marital imprisonment in Nigeria while he runs off abroad. undecided

2. Regardless, marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman. No man or woman has any right to use marriage in deceiving another in marriage. undecided

Hi, yes. I tried to be as fair as possible. When I said compromise, I didn't mean something bad. I was talking about a prenuptial agreement. Maybe I should have included it there. I'll modify now.

Her husband's fears (if confirmed) are quite valid. We can't pretend that the abroad laws, in most cases, are not hard on men and a bit easier on women during divorce. Women have it rough too, though.

I think it's best that they both do a prenuptial agreement as that could protect the both of them to their best interests.

Oh Prenuptial agreement is fair, at least both parties are covered. The compromise on her part sounded like you were encouraging her to take a chance and go with the traditional arrangements alone.

Although I still maintain she double check this partner of hers, he sounds too selfish for a union.

More reason you should have a court marriage up there. It's either he's just being stupid or have an ulterior motive. If he remains adamant, quit the relationship

Once you are not legally married, the man can bail on you at any time. I have literally seen this happen. Or the man can marry a second wife who will now be the legal wife,f**k you and the 10 years you spent with him before

If they get married only traditionally with no legally recognized document backing it, what will they fill as marital status when applying for the visa.

The man has the option of going to the foreign country as a bachelor and marry a local there, so even if the marriage ends and the court favours the woman and the children (if any) based on his assets there, at least he will be comforted by the thought that he was not betrayed by a woman he brought from Nigeria.

So in summary... you value court wedding(which is just paper and signatures) over your potential husband and you are ready to be single again till you get that paper?
Most countries don't regard a Nigerian traditional wedding as a marriage so she is still single if she goes along with her bobo's plan. Unless they plan to remain in Nigeria then she can be said to be married.

Nigerian men are ok with being swindled by foreign women, they prefer to be cheated during divorce processes by white women than black women, and the worst is Nigerian women, they can kill her and their kids if divorce benefits and favours them, we've seen cases like that everywhere,

A classic case of mental slavery garnished with inferiority complex and low self esteem, they do not care about their kind, reason why Nigeria is as backward as it is today.
