I am planning on getting married to my fiancee. We have done our introduction. We were s to go to her village for the payment of the bride price to the father. Though her mother is in Abuja here. The mother later changed her mind that we shouldn't travel to the village due to spiritual matter. But I told my fiancee that the bride price must get to the father.
She suggested that we do a court wedding and later church wedding.

Please house, is it possible to do a court wedding before paying the bride price first and also before collecting the list from the bride's family?
In addition, how much do court in Abuja collect for the court wedding?

Bride price first. Nothing more, nothing less.

Bride price is for a virgin bride!

If you didn't meet her as a virgin, there'll be no need for you to stress yourself and pay exorbitant fees for something another guy collected with just meat pie and Fanta.

Like the poster above me said don't pay no bride price to a non-virgin. How you wanna pay for what over 20 dudes ate for free? It's unfair and the mother also knows hence the change of mind. If I was you I would thank the mother for being so reasonable. She's a good woman. For she knows it's criminal for one to collect dowry for a woman that has fvcked over 20 dudes

...

Before talking about doing court or church wedding, bride price must be paid first. Agree with your father in law and your family on how you will pay the bride price. That is the only thing that shows both the village and family that their daughter is married.

Trust me, this is no question to ask on nairaland. Go to your elders and ask. You want 16 year olds to advice you on an issue like this? You're not ready to take a wife.

If you personally can't go to the village, then do a bank transfer and make sure that it'll be enough to cover the list of the things required from your fiancee's father.. they can buy those things themselves.

I have an uncle who also paid his bride price via bank transfer, he didn't go to his wife's home and he only told his side of the family much later that he was ready to get married and he had already paid the bride price..

Pay bride price, but no do court marriage
