Good day House.. I am an ardent Nairalander but I am using another identity to cover up..

It's almost over a year now that i started the journey with her, I met her parents 4 months ago, I was told by her day that thier daughter is not free( bride price things) normally... we talked it out and we decided to get marriage.. I am 35, she's 32. She has a 8 years old boy out of wedlock, the boy stays with her parent.. I don't have any problem with that, Single mother is not a disease.. we have being living together since March this year, just like a couple and i decided to tie the knot with her later in the year which we both agreed on.

So we both agreed to go for registry then normal engagement and rest the case.. she later changed her mind, she doesn't want the court registry anymore (i am not move with this anyway, but why? Is she having another secret affairs elsewhere, or maybe she's thinking she may leave if things go south, like she doesn't want to get into a legal marriage that will hinder her from having choice in the nearest future, because I don't understand..).. She only want Engagement, without the court registry for now.
Anytime her parents, especially her mom ask her about it in the wedding plan, she will tell her we will do it later in the future .
As a man in the first place I don't need to worry about this in the first place, because all this court marriage registration only favor the woman and I know most of them crave for it...

But she... What is she up to??
Bross RUN o hhhhh, you can start by telling her you need some time and it would be good for her to move back to her parents you need space.

I love that girl.



I hope other ladies can read and learn. The reason some men claim they don't want marriage or they have more to lose is because women carry it for head. Always fighting tooth and nail for (registry) marriage. So they sit back and allow you do all the work while acting like they did you a favour marrying you. Have you ever considered the fact that you would be the one needing to escape from an evil man in record time? Breaking head over a man's property even at the expense of your life.

This OP claims it favours women more but he is restless because he met a woman who has mastered her emotions. He wishes she were chasing him upandan for a legal wedding and flying to catch ring. He is bothered because he doesn't hold all the ACES.

Isn't this the kinda arrangement they claim to want online? #TEAMBABYMAMA? Why is OP worried and why the responses from his fellow men above? grin grin

Men want this marriage as much as you do if not more. If they hated marriage so much, they wouldn't be open to polygamy or rushing to marry another wife after a divorce or death of the first wife. No man keeps two (polygamy), even four of what he doesn't benefit from. They benefit heavily from marriage. In fact, after tasting marriage, they find it hard to stay alone again. Unlike women who would rather enjoy companionship without commitment.

Stop fighting these men over registry. Tell him you don't want. Let him be the one to create thread and beg you to sign those lines. Stop begging them to see the usefulness in marriage. Stop answering stupid NL questions like "what can you offer a man?" He has the option of remaining single or marrying a fellow man or new yam.

You are the prize. grin grin
If he isn't giving you same energy, disembark.
This is your forte. I can't be surprised

This is actually very funny.
Whenever I hear that man wants to get marry,I laugh.
Same marriage that they claim does not benefit them?

That aside...Men always say women want court marriage while they do not..So that a woman doesn't have any legal backing to share in their wealth after a divorce.


Now,a woman is saying NO...I don't want court marriage...and a man is disturbed about it.

3 gbosaaa for that lady!
I owe her a crate of her favourite brand.
She sure knows how to play this game.

You funny

Every woman do the chasing when they want a man earnest, get married first then you know her real self.

But seriously


This is the first time am hearing a woman doesn't want registry, has she done registry with the father of the boy

Is the father of the boy dead?

Though no matter how u dig further, you might never know a woman totally, but most importantly make sure she's a God fearing lady.

Did you read the part where he mentioned "she changed her mind". Knowing how there's the overwhelming tendency that she wants to "keep her options open" with a new man or a previous man in her life, this is enough a red flag?
Maybe you didn't read where he said he gave her emotional trauma? That could be the reason she's keeping her options open.

I guess you are a man, if you can't take charge now then you can take charge after marriage.

Just test her with your closed friend to informed her in secret you planning japa and u want to arrange for marriage cert with another girl.

She will show u tru colour if she likes/Love u.
Re: My Fiancee Doesn't Want To Court Marriage (registry) by Montaque(m): 5:15pm On Sep 04, 2023
I will not know what informs her decision. But I want to speak on the legal side of things. Not getting married at the Registry (also called Statutory marriage) has some implications.

1. Someone has already mentioned that she can leave for abroad without you, as you are not her legal husband. She is still single in the eyes of the law. That is also implying that her child, and anyone she bears with you will be hers to decide their fate at the embassy or any official place.

2. She will not be liable to bigamy. That's a way of saying she can cheat on you with another man, and you can't redress her wrongs legally, as she is not your wife to that level.

3. She does not need to go to Court to divorce you. This is easy and to her advantage, as her father will just send her bride price back to you and thats it. She can end things today and leave, nothing holding her.

4. She may also decide not to change her surname after marriage, as she will need to present a Marriage Certificate to do that. But she is intentionally avoiding that.

My advice to those getting married is to be careful of any partner that's giving them conditions or is reserving a part of their commitment. If you love someone too much to marry them, you should love them too much to give your all. Anything less is a recipe for breakup, because marriage can test your resolve for a lifetime.

This is not the point. When something behaves abnormally, its better to seek understanding why that is, and this is what the Op is doing.

Again, men have low urgency for marriage because they can technically marry anytime and still marry as young as 18yrs. Women generally do not have such privilege

A good man will always be the price!

Dey play. The certificate which the Church gave you during wedding was actually gotten from the Local Government Council of the area where the church is located. The church did the wedding and gave you the certificate on the Local Government's behalf. This is because a house of worship is recognised in law as a place to celebrate marriage, and they can help you do the registration before or after they wed you.

The family's support, or lack thereof, likely has to do with the rapport they have observed between OP and the gal. So OP needs work on figuring out his situation rather than looking here and there for who to blame. undecided
