Is Contract Marriage Really A Good Idea? by SPAMBOX7: 9:45pm On Nov 26, 2022
I heard you could sign in the agreement the number of years you want to be married to your spouse. Once the years have exhausted you two can go your separate ways unless you want to sign another contract again. How true is this guys?

Contract marriage is good in this type of situation. When a lady [not really rich but not poor] marries a man from a Phd rich family, contract in the manner that if the lady wants to divorce the rich guy; the lady won't get any alimony as a result of the divorce. Some women will marry you because of your wealth, then divorce you and be receiving alimony and maintenance money they never worked for.

We in Nigeria don't practice such because of our culture and traditions

But instead of such, you can keep a baby mama

I need a lady that want to go into contract marriage with me for some years. The aim is to have children but if along the line we realized that we are compatible enough to spend the rest of our lives together in love, then so be it.

I also need advice on this from people who are into it.

Una dey put unnecessary attributes to marriage. In my own thoughts,
NEVER SIGN ANY DOCUMENTS BINDING YOU TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE'S INSECURITY. Born Pikin wey you fit care, if you can't nvm, nature will take care of your curse... if you are tired of someone, allow dem do their own, do your own. Let them go. Life just too easy, na we too difficult

There’s something missing from your ad, what’s in it for her?

It seems you want children, you want their mother to take care of them, then you also want an exclusive relationship with their mother.

In essence, she provides your needs, as well as those of your children. She’s like a surrogate mother, but exclusively dedicated to you and her biological children

So what’s in it for her for her? Certainly not just an uncertain future of whether you both will remain married or not.

You must not marry an educated rich folk to be happy. You can marry an illiterate who is caring, nice, kind and well groomed. You will be happy. If you are tired of the entire feminist drama, then settle for women who are less attracted to the idea of raising shoulders or competing with you for the head of the home. You will be very happy and in effect she will be very happy.

I have seen the best graduating student if mechanical engineering in uniben one year, who got scholarships abroad and even very good job offers, you know what? His mom wasn't literate.

... Although since Divorce is an option, most marriages are already contracted out, however it's not just a Good one but a Fantastic idea. IF soccer players can be signed on contract, alongside other businesses, such be extended to marriage as well.

People shouldn't lose their lives simply because they pledged commitment but later reneged.
People shouldn't be woes unto others simply because of failed marital affirmation.

Contract marriage is for extremely wealthy people. Janet Jackson made $200m from an Arab billionaire courtesy of the contract marriage she had with him.

Such can't occur in Nigeria because of our cultural and religious values.

Every court marriage is a contract marriage enforceable by the government.

If in doubt, try to get a divorce. That's when most people realize what they signed. grin

Agreement is agreement!!! Marriage is a big gamble so we need maximum frequency of sincerity


You Cheat bye bye
You start following stupid friends bye bye
You change all of a sudden after Marriage bye bye
You hide vital informations from me before marriage and I later got to know bye bye

Knowing some consequences makes life easy for both couples

What you described is Pre-nuptial Agreement it is different par say from contract marriage unless the term "contract marriage" is used loosely but then again ALL forms of marriage is a contract I.e a social contract so to some extent a "contract marriage" is a marriage there is a pre-nuptial agreement/ante-nuptial agreement

It makes sense. I’ve never heard of it before. It’s logical. Something of this sort would increase the rate of happiness adults experience in this country.
