Those who are afraid of court marriages (Marriage under the Act) in Nigeria are scared because of the dilemma of male divorcees in foreign countries.

In Nigeria, you have nothing to worry about. The Nigerian Court will never ask a Dangote to pay as much as 10 million naira (less than $20,000) to his estranged wife. Alimony figures in Nigeria favour husbands.


However, women in Nigeria actually opt for court marriage to give their children access to their fathers' estates if their fathers' die intestate.

Put differently, statutory marriage is the best way a man who loves his children can ensure that they inherit his property if he dies early without writing his will. A wife who is married in court and her kids do not have to worry about wicked in-laws , uncles and aunties because the Matrimonial Causes Act has got them covered.

I think for now, marriage in court registry or registered place of worship favours both men and women who want a better future for their kids. Maybe my position will change in future when ridiculously high alimony figures are ordered by the court grin

You are one of the problems in Nigeria.

You believe that it is written that the man must die first.

If you want to do a court wedding, sign a prenup.

If she refuses, she is after your money.

Court weddings only favour the women.

The only reason for a court wedding is if you intend relocating out of the country.

Left to me, the only wedding i will do is the African traditional wedding.

That is the only thing God and my ancestors recognize. I detest white weddings. I see it as an avenue to waste funds and showoff. Do your traditional wedding, hold the reception, Go home and enjoy your companion.

Make sure you sign a prenup. The ladies we have these days are out to ruin you.

Sign a prenup.

Register your marriage.

Any way you look at it, it still favours the women more than it does the men.

Just try your best to safeguard yourself and whatever you have acquired to prevent any unforeseen occurrence.

The quality of many women we have these days is below par.

Prenup does not cover properties acquired while married, irrespective of who rightfully acquired the property, does it?

That is you're saying in a nutshell that court marriage has no benefit to the man in anyway since the only benefits your talked about revolved around the woman and the children gotten from the marriage. I see!

This is the question that an ilitrate should be asking.

Reminds me of a Yorùbá movie.

Wife had been pestering her husband to do court wedding, he refused, the wife's parent tried, he still didn't.
Told them he will not and he didn't see the need for it and probably didn't favour him.

One day, the company he worked for decided they were going to send him and his family out of the country, maybe to head a department. He was so happy until he found out he needed his marriage certificate in order to process the whole package.

Come and see begging, the wife refused, he went and begged the wife's parent, then they reminded him of how he said court wedding is of no use for him.

Abeg, for sake of formality, do what is right in time.
If you don't have an ulterior motive, then do all that is proper.
The wife is a foolish woman and you sef don't have sense for bringing a nollywood movie into this discussion

If na me,I go go do court marriage with another woman go abroad
Who she epp

No it doesn't.

But in the case of a divorce, Properties acquired by BOTH parties while in the marriage will be shared.

While Love and marriage is a beautiful thing, we cannot rule out eventualities.

We have leeches masquerading as people who are materialistic and opportunistic.

You have to protect yourself and your assets from any future liability.

If He/She loves you, they will never have an issue with signing a prenup.

Firstly, I see court weddings as unnecessary. What's the essence of it if you're not thinking of divorce?
I think court weddings favour only or mostly females, who want to have a good share of your assets once divorce happens. Are there any hidden benefits a guy stands to achieve when he court-weds his wife?
in Nigeria I don't think our laws award 50% of anything to either of the parties involved. But I do know sometimes the court does demand the husband to pay a certain amount to his ex-wife. This is mostly the case when the wife is jobless and has nothing, in my opinion it is okay that way, to help stand on her feet. I don't know how long or how many times a husband has to pay such 'alimony'.

That is to the best of my knowledge anyway.

A woman will adopt your name, raise your kids after pregnancies that will eventually change her body shape.
She will practically serve you for the rest of her life because she may never be free from subjugation.

You are here bothering about your assets being shared in the case of divorce. I pity the woman that will marry this one. I wish most ladies are intelligent enough to decipher the mind of their partners concerning the sanctity of marriage but no, they are more concerned about six packs, money in his account.

Marriage is also sacrifices and mutual respect. If you marry rightly, you have no cause to be bothered about assets sharing.



DONT MIND THEM.

THESE ARE SET OF MEN THAT DONT VALUE THEIR WIVES ANS ALL THE SACRIFICES SHE HAD MADE IN THE MARRIAGE.

ALL THEY ARE AFTER IS THEIR ASSETS.

THIS IS THE REASON MOST OF THEM HIDE SO MANY THINGS FROM THEIR WIVES, THEY PREFER TO EXPOSE THEIR WEALTH TO EITHER STRNGERS OR THEIR SELFISH SIBLINGS, OR WICKED UNCLES.

AND BY THE TIME THEY DIE, THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY OF THIER WEALTH.

WHEN SUCH MAN DIES, DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CRY?
I CANT EVEN FAKE THE CRY.

I WILL JUST TELL YOUR SIBLINGS WHO ARE INCHARGE OF YOUR PROPERTIES OR WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE RECIEPTS OF THOSE PROPERTIES, TO SELL ORBRAISE MONEY FOR THE MANS BURIAL.

MY ONE NAIRA CAN NOT USED FOR SUCH BURIAL.

AND AT THE END OF THE DAY. I WILL NEVER NEVER DRAG ANY OF THE MANS PROPERTIES WITH HIS SIBLINGS OR UNCLE S.
I WILL LET THEM GO WITH THE WIND


I CAN ONLY REMEMBER SUCH HUSBAND AS A WICKED ROOM MATE

Most African culture do not give inheritance to the female gender. Most time the female is chased out of her father property and left to suffer in the street. If a man has no male child, i believe staturitory marriage wil be of great advantage to the man after his demise because his female daughter could easily inherit the properties left behind.
How will you feel in the afterlife seeing other people chase out your biological child out of the properties you laboured all your life?

There are a lot of benefits for men:
1) If your wife died, all her properties belong to you.
2) If your wife dies, you are the one to decide where and how to bury your wife, not her family members.
3) Court wedding stops every family members from interfering in your marriage matter. The parents of your wife do not have a say in anything that concerns your marriage.
4) Court wedding take away every responsibility to your in-law from you. You are not under any obligation to buy anything for your in-law or do anything during burial of any of them
5) Whoever interfere in your marriage relationship is liable to 3 months imprisonment including your wife's mother.
6) If the husband dies, the properties automatically belongs to the wife and children. No family member will come and reap where they did not sow. Even the father of the husband have no say in the properties of the deceased person.

I did Court wedding and I'm enjoying it. Christmas is coming, I have no responsibility to give anything to in-laws and I mean it. I don't even go to greet them and don't want them in my house, because it is not a statutory obligation under the marriage Act.

A prenuptial agreement, antenuptial agreement, or premarital agreement (commonly referred to as a prenup), is a written contract entered into by a couple prior to marriage or a civil union that enables them to select and control many of the legal rights they acquire upon marrying, and what happens when their marriage eventually ends by death or divorce.
