My 37-year-old son got married without my permission. How can I teach him a lesson?

Forgive and pray for him with all your heart to retrace his steps.
Don't allow your heart to be bitter towards your own son.

You know, even though we do wrong, God still love us because God is a loving Father.
Remember the father of the prodigal son.

Simply grant him your blessings and wish him well. Shun the idea of meddling or interfering with his life.

Many 37 year old sons no get parents again. You better pray and stop complaining sir/ma

Pray for him

What kind of lesson? He has his own life to live and his own path to walk.
If he makes a mistake choosing the wrong spouse, let him learn on his own

Normally by age 30-33, a man should be married. But if he is unable to find his feet, he might marry late. So if he is getting married at 37, it's partly the father's fault.

teaching your son a lesson about marriage doesn't have to involve confrontation or resistance. Instead, opt for understanding, empathy, and open communication. By respecting his choices and offering your support, you can help him navigate the complexities of marriage while maintaining a healthy parent-child relationship. Remember, it's never too late to foster love, trust, and understanding within your family.

Anyone who thinks like this has been a wicked person all their life. The son of such person would try to avoid their evil ways, thus shunning them from one of the most important days of their life. Most Nigerians have evil in their minds and hearts, but not all do. Hopefully the son cuts off the head of the snake next time and ends these "lessons" for good.

You sound like some angry god in the old testament, whining that your creations don't slave in your garden no more nor bow down and worship you.

You could destroy his marriage, if you please, though that would be like cutting off your own nose to punish your face, or you can go read about the New Testament God and be taught to be more compassionate and understanding and less stupid and ignorant.

37 year old son. It seems the Jazz you were using has finally failed. Now, it's to resort to physical means abi? 🤣

IS 37 YEARS OLD MAN A BOY? ALLOW HIM CHOOSE WHO HE WANTS AND LIKE

Why do you want to teach him a lesson?

And why did he get married without your permission?

Your son doesn't need your approval.

The best he could have done was to inform you, and perhaps, introduce her to you.

I don't understand the type of lesson you want to teach him. Do you still shelter or provide for him?

What kind of permission?

Disown him

@bold:

Apt!

Teach him a lesson ko, teach him a tutorial ni.

The best lesson to teach him is to go get him a worthy wedding gift and keep praying for the success of his marriage, and stop living in the past, Sir.

Make sure not to interfer in his marriage unless you want to give him fatherly advice on how to have a successful marriage.

And lastly, don't try to mistreat someone's daughter with the excuse that she ought to have said no to the marriage until your grown son seeks your consent. Because that's what you'll finally do since your son refused to be controlled by you. She's now your daughter-in-law and must be well taken care of.

We're all observing you from Nairaland, ok?
