FamilyRe: My Sister Wants Traditional Marriage In The City: Is It Normal? by merakiX: 9:17am On Dec 15, 2020
LawLab247:
I don't know your culture but where I come from, traditional marriage is held at your ancestral home. That's one of the things that makes it traditional in the first instance. We Africans must not bastardize the ways of our forefathers, lest we lose our identities. My opinion tho.
Thank you.
The world will never respect a people without their own philosophies and traditions and culture, never.
See how the world is paying Asia to use some of their cultures.
There is nothing edifying or classy about having Igba Nkwu in the city, or deciding that Palm wine is tacky and using Chivita instead embarassed. The class is in the naturalness.
Well some people who go this route may not be proud of their roots. It is almost unheard of where I come from (I have never seen/heard of it).
