Toks2008:
This is a very sensitive and twisted issue that needs to be approached cautiously and intelligently.

I have read in many places where people have expressed contrary views on this all time important issue. I have seen where a lady have asked if she can move in with her husband after traditional wedding?,i have seen a case where a lady insists that until a man does the white or church wedding,they are not considered married before GOD.

I have even heard many people stating emphatically that as long as a lady's bride price have not been paid then the lady is not considered married to the man and so many other discrepancies too numerous to highlight.`

Now the big question is what exactly is the module for a wedding ceremony and what ceremony really is ordained by GOD? When can GOD acknowledge a man and woman as married?is there any part of the Quran or Bible that stipulates a direct guideline of how a marriage ceremony must be conducted to be legitimate in GOD's eyes?

I will quickly answer this from the Quran and Biblical angles.


1.From the Quran:Prophet Muhammad (S) considered simple weddings the best weddings:'The best wedding is that upon which the least trouble and expense is bestowed". (Mishkat)

The Quran wedding ceremony module is simply hinged on Mutual Agreement of Bride and Groom called Nikah.

Marriage (nikah) is a solemn and sacred social contract between bride and groom. This contract is a strong covenant (mithaqun ghalithun) as expressed in Quran 4:21. The marriage contract in Islam is not a sacrament. It is revocable.

Both parties mutually agree and enter into this contract. Both bride and groom have the liberty to define various terms and conditions of their liking and make them a part of this contract.


2.From the Bible:I am very sorry to disappoint those who live by "my pastor said" or "my parents say" to empty their heads of every man made philosophy and get this straight...[size=13pt]there is no place in the bible where white wedding,traditional wedding or even court-wedding was ever mentioned and infact there was never a place in the bible that gave any preferred wedding ceremony[/size] and the issue of bride price was never mentioned as a yardstick for marriage but a punishment for rape and infact you can pay the bride price and still not allowed to marry the lady because you only paid a fine for rape-exodus 22:16-17:

It is quite absurd that today,many people have the erroneous belief that until all the three forms of wedding is done then GOD has not ordained such and while some say until a church wedding is conducted,GOD will not bless their wedding and i just look at the myopic mindset of these ignorant people and wonder where on earth they got that wrong doctrine from.

There is one scripture that sums up the steps to follow in any form of wedding ceremony you desire to have and that be found in Genesis 2:24: Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and join to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.


A.The first step is for the man to make up his mind to leave his parents to be with a woman and start a family together.

B.A couple can be considered joined when they are legally married. The scriptural support typically given for this view is the biblical command to obey the government’s laws (Romans 13:1–7; 1 Peter 2:17). A couple can also be considered joined together in God’s eyes when they have completed some kind of formal wedding ceremony whether in the church or culturally.

C.The third and final stage is becoming one flesh which occurs when sexual act occurs and this is why many people are warned against indiscriminate sexual acts as any sexual act is actually fulfilling the third stage of marital union and many people have actually been married to so many people in their life time.

So whether you decide to have just one of the 3 mode of celebration or you want to do Religious,traditional and court,you are very free.But it is important to note that in GOD's eyes the only thing he recognizes as directed by him is for a man to leave his parents,be joined to his wife and lastly become one with her and which ever way both of you decide to go about the ceremony as long as its not against his ordinances,its perfectly ok.

I hope this makes sense.

Where did Jesus perform his first miracle?

David Mark, how far?

sammyj:

If jonathan never listened he won't have lost election

tuale4u:
This are d kind of news i want. A president sensitive to the masses.

Ride on Buhari
Thank you for aknowledging d extravagance in the Budget

He should be sensitive. Wasn't Jonathan's freedom of speech that made ApC win?

We need to continue demanding accountability from this government and any future government. It is commendable that the administration, atleast, gives a damn about MAJORITY public opinion.

yea they have to. Jonathan started it and it was used against him. That freedom made him lose the election

New scores of Saints. Welcome to heaven and have a wonderful baptism

YUSUPH1986:
Am tired of you people. Ok let me put the record straight,PMB was given cars which were legal because it had the constitution backing. Besides, it wasnt peculiar to him alone. It was given to all former heads of state and more importantly, he was the most economical of them all

we already know it's constitutional to have received the car, i'm only wondering why the man automatically turned saint immediately he called Buhari

Now to the broom wavers, the country's economy was very bad when PDP took over, they didn't start looking for people to witchhunt, they immediately started working. Yes they stole, it's the money they made that they also stole. Pls broom Wavers, stop all this waving madness already and start working. It's getting worst by day. Federal Government even warned about hardship next year, so shameless of broom wavers

lol

Stylaay:
If he was granted bail, then it is absolutely wrong for agents of the state to whisk him away forcefully. If the man stole public funds he must be prosecuted. What I would not support is when human rights start being trampled upon. Some people are happy cos they feel he stole therefore h should be treated anyhow. Our security agents should not be allowed to start feeling above the law, the law should guide every strata of the society. If people's rights are trampled upon in a dictatorial manner, they will start revolting

remaining Jonathan. When the dock him let me know

i love Saraki. My crush.

All this people quoting cos i said i love Saraki. I love him, am proud He's the Number 3 in Nigeria. I've been crushing on him since my secondary school. I've more pictures of him on my phone than i do have mine. He should do whatever he likes with Senate Money, afterall why did u think He spent money to win election? oh u think he spent his money just to be a pauper? Come on. He deserves 15 2016 model cars. Too bad i didn't see any Range Rover. Too bad the cars ain't even armoured. I love u Saraki, i love u daddy, I'll forever do. Haters should die

Weedcrusher:
God forbid me countering secession of the igbos. But you should do so without laying claims to regions that do not belong to you.

have the regions complained that their rightful name is being stolen from them?

that's not his twitter. Once twitter verifies that account he's gonna have much followers

NgeneUkwenu:
River State is now under our control..

ode people that are in control of Rivers ain't on Nairaland. They're somewhere busy enjoying Rivers. You're here only to thank God for the real people. Unless u tell me now that you're Osibanjo's daughter. But hell No u won't say that. PYO 's daughter is skinny but you're so fat. Go and work out

The person hiding behind that moniker NgeneUkwuenu is from Western Part of Nigeria. We may not know for now the reason for NgeneUkwuenu's action. I hope it's for good. We all use to laugh at her political jokes and prays she keeps bringing them on.


We pray the Igbos understands we love them, we also pray the government stop the obvious marginalisation. We thank God for nairaland.

God bless my love lalasticlala, the sweetest mod

opalu:
MISMANAGEMENT
You couldn't manage a party yet you want to manage a Nation. No wonder we had so many uncompleted projects every part of Nigeria. Fashola, I don't envy you right now

if the news here was about PDP completing their secretariat, u would have also come here to say it's ur money that they stole. People can never be pleased
