"..the court held that the alleged customary marriage would, in any event, have been invalid because evidence before the court showed that Prest was still legally married to her former husband at the time she claimed to have married Dr. Ajayi."

Brother, note that on issues regarding marriage,please tread with caution.
First and foremost, your interest in key, protect and guide it jealously. On the flip side, your would be wife and her people are guiding jealously theirs also, and they would tag it with appealing titles. Be careful
Secondly, I would suggest that you firmly request to see her father to seek his blessings and if were possible his presence at the engagement/wedding.
Thirdly, be categorical that if the above request is not granted that they should forget about the wedding.You are starting your own life-defining phase of your journey, it will be an irreversible damage to start with clear eyes on a messy foundation. Simply put, give what belong to Caesar to Caesar.
MetaBroadband: Good morning mature men and women in the house. Please I need your help on this topic.
My Fiancee told me about how her biological dad abandoned her and her mum after getting her mum pregnant.
Her mum later married another man who adopted her as his child.
Now she's grown and I've proposed to her, I wanted to go for her official introduction and list collection.
Would it not be nice to hear the biological father's opinion? Should I just ignore the fact that the man is still alive and proceed with the marriage arrangement?
Although she said I should not bother about that, but this is Nigeria and as an Akwa Ibomite I don't think it's proper. Although she's against me trying to find out about the man's opinion. Should I care?
What can you say about this?
Note: she only told me that the man abandoned them, but what if it was her mum that actually took her away?
segtech68: I'm in a very serious relationship which will likely lead to marriage before the middle of this year. she's a good lady, very decent, God fearing and has a good Job. We both love each other so there's no point waiting than to marry her. We've talked about it and she loves the idea. Also , i've met her family and her parent treated me kindly.
The issue is, we are both planning to relocate after marriage to any of the western countries, we are both credible financially and i'm very sure we won't get denied but the stories i've heard about women changing after getting abroad makes me want to think twice about the court marriage. I would love to do every other marital right except court marriage.
How do i tell her politely without losing her? please i'll appreciate your advise.
Thank you.
Don't even bother marrying her. A little leaven leaventh the whole lump.

WRIGHT'S TRADITIONAL SOAP WITH COAL TAR FRAGRANCE.
Please no ethnic banters. One of us is from Ekiti, and the other is from Benue. I am married for 8 years with 2 kids. It has been one problem to another.
I must be very frank, before marriage, my wife had many very questionable characters, but unfortunately we did the marriage counseling in a church were the pastor happened to be her family member. Many of the issues would have been resolved, but when I raised those issues about her character the pastor promised me that everything will be fine after the marriage. Although this is not an excuse, but looking back now I would have been more patient and taken my decision myself instead of rushing into the marriage. For this I HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE
There is hardly nothing we do not quarrel about, I have always been the one to initiate settlement. The only way I ensure that there is peace in the house is for me not to complain about anything. Even at that, there is always trouble. If the children do anything wrong, she always says those characters the children are exhibiting are not from her and that she is not surprised that they inherited such characters from me.
She can go for months without talking to me, even if I tried to, I have done all I could do, I have begged, cried prayed. I just feel tired and exhausted from trying to make the marriage work or have peace in the home, the sad part is that she often reminds me every time there is misunderstanding that I should remember that she can stay on her own without talking to any body. Just to add, she is very prayerful.
OTHER INFORMATION. 1. I can say conveniently that there is no money problem at home. Finance is okay. 2. I went to see her father 2 years ago, the man said unfortunately he can not do anything. This is true because she was raised away from her Father, she has no contact with any of her fathers family and her father has a zero say in her life. 3. she has 5 elders ones, non of them is in communication with her because of many unresolved issues. Of her 3 younger ones she only maintains a relationship with the last boy who is just 14 years. . 4. Her mum can not talk to her because she simply dares not. However, behind, her mother use to beg me and she kept saying she understands her daughter's character and that she is doing her best by praying and doing deliverance for her. 5. She is not in contact with her maternal uncles and aunt because she said they supported her elder ones when she had problem with them.
So I am stuck with no one to help call the both of us and resolve the issue.
Every year for 5 straight years, she always forgets my birthday, last year, she forgot also, three days later, she bought me a present and I refused to collect the present and I asked her why does she keep forgetting my birthday, year after year for 5 years. She just said sorry, but I left the present in the room, she never bothered to bring the present to me. Another birthday was gone yesterday 2nd May, and as I write, no happy birthday yet.
I literally cook for myself, and all domestic things I do for myself.
I will end this by saying that in fairness to her, her character was not too different before the marriage and courtship, sincerely only once, that was like one year before the marriage I broke up with her, she came to apologize and promised that she will change. Her mother also came to apologize to me also.
This woman has refused to change or allow peace to hold sway, she is right every time, while everybody around is wrong. Sincerely, I do not know what to do anymore.
I am tired and exhausted. I do not know what to do anymore. I am 42, I was diagnosed of high blood pressure 2 years ago.
Bro, the Lord God is your Strength. I am not posing 100% accuracy, yet I'll respond as below.
1. I figure that the woman is from Ekiti.
2. She might be Aires born in (March 21st to April 20th) or rather April born
3. If you really are this passionate and wanting to make your marriage work, see yourself as the one who is to blame for all what you are experiencing. Reason: it's was your decision to go ahead to marry her despite seeing red flags.
4. Since, finance isn't a bone of contention, you are in a clear to some extent. Now, you need wisdom, God's Wisdom. Pray and ask for it. Ask for the Spirit of Wisdom.
5. Marriage, is a journey, a journey of faith, holding unto God in faith.
6. Take hold of your marriage in prayers and in authority as the head of the family as instituted by God. Pray with that conviction, assertion and authority knowingly it's your marriage. Don't be beggarly in your prayers.
7. Don't expect to see magical change from her too soon. But it'll surely come. Be persistently and at your pace.
8. It's likely she has spiritual evil covenant spouse and evil dedication from birth.
9. Your health issue arose from the happenings in your marriage. Just take it easy. Roman was not built in a day. Don't let her attitude or possible reaction to things bring chills done your spine, or cow you. Do not lay it too much to heart rather regard it as a pinch of salt, committing all the burdens in your heart prayerfully to God and consistently. Pray and ask for the spirit of boldness and destroy every domineering spirit or personalty that want to hijack your marriage.
10. Don't you ever allow her push you or force you into doing whatever you ain't comfortable with or that which your spirit isn't at peace with. Be very firm and that rightly too.
11. Don't allow yourself be provoked to the extent of getting physical with her.
12. Pray always for strength for the journey. As I said earlier it's a journey. Pray for yourself often asking also for peace of mind.
13. Bro, this is your own marriage and automatically your own battle. Be ready to overcome with God. It can't be easily but you'll surely overcome.
14. Don't be deceived by that fact that she is very prayerfully as you said. You are simply being cajoled by that. You are the spiritual head in your marriage. Take charge in your prayer life and confidently too.
15. Let the Spirit of God direct you always going forward. Don't allow external influences.
Note to all bachelors intending to get marriage: Never you stay too far from your own family members and too close to your would be in-laws. It's highly risky.
You need as much help/advice as you can from your own people (or those whom you regard as having your interest at heart), because your would be in-laws would only support their own and polish her before you.
Do not throw out of the window your reasoning faculty. Reg flags don't just go away like that in marriage except you're ready to bear an AMPLIFIED VERSION of those red flags.
