Bros. Tell us d truth, supported with references (Scriptural).

Kobojunkie:
Of course! Legality comes from marrying in the courts. Your brideprices are nothing of the legal route but of the traditional route which ae only accepted but not necessarily recognized as being legal. For a marriage to be certified legal, it has to be registered with the courts.

MSN1:
This is NOT a reply, i have a lot of 1st hand experiences.
Is like u haven't been to court, where dey tell u to go and settle with family gorst; i have seen a lot.

Marriage is and will 4eva b a family affair, the ONLY thing court respects; is personal decisions(WILL) aside dat;
Your family decides wot happens within that union, except cases if domestic violence or threat to life.

Bros, tell me somtin reasonable because dis ur argument witot points is getting really boring.

■ Frivolity is actually on the part of the participants. If you don't want to spend money ,you can't be forced ( not for tradition though).

what of those that do church marriage,so their marriage is not legal,in my community in imo state,if you dont pay traditional bride price and wanted to do court marriage be sure you relatives including parents will not be there and you are not yet married in their opinion,infact it is a reckless and irresponsible man that can even consider such,if I am the father of the bride I will use SARS to arrest the man in the court the day they are doing that court marriage

doyin01:
As long as you are not mt family and friend , I will allow you continue to wine and dine in your ignorance and keep arguing blindly Instead of you to go and meet professional stable lawyers that will educate you about everything you need to know...the only time I can get bothered with your ignorance is if you are a family member or friend and I know such ignorance can hurt you in the future and affect me too..but as long as your life decisions will not affect me because I do not know you.. then I am fine with you if you continue displaying your ignorance.. have a nice day

If you marry a lady via court wedding and you didnt pay her bride price are you legally married to her.

I did my Registry at Ikoyi last year. We were told emphatically to make sure we pay for bride price to bride’s family even if we are not doing big wedding. My dear sis/brother, Islamically nd traditionally, bride price is very important. Nobody send you big wedding
Joyfully I did: introduction, court marriage @ikoyi, engagement nd Nikkah and I paid my bride price. Funny enough, my Dad told me to pay the money from my personally pocket. I gave them 50k, 45k was returned back to me immediately. My family nd friend contributed another sum of money which I don’t know the total amount to my wife’s purse.
Today, if my wife misbehave, I will tell her that I paid her price oooo

In your community or family , the marriage is legal traditionally ....but in the court of law.. a legally wedded person is the person that was legally wedded and verified and confirmed by the court of law of that country..

For example try and and apply for a visa to any Western country as a couple, you need to provide the marriage certificate confirmed by the court of law ...they won,t say you should bring pictures or videos of traditional wedding or bring witness or whatever.....nothing concerns law with that


Do traditional wedding to fulfil the tradition of your land...but at the same time you must do the most important one which is the court wedding...the one the law recognises all over the world and not just nigeria...

Armaggedon:
another generalisation.

Lol... una nor de do research, EVERY marriage is registered in the L.G council b4 certificates are given and Family and community issues this certificates. Thats to say; by registering in councils; YOUR MARRIAGE HAS BEEN REGISTERES AND THE FAMILY THAT GRANTED D PERMISSIONS DULY REGISTERED BY THE COMMUNITY, HAS GIVEN U TERMS WHICH BINDS DAT AGREEMENT.

Kobojunkie:
YOu were told that in bold by whom? An Official of the court or one of your many possibly ignorant relatives?

doyin01:
■ So you are telling me they did not allow you people do registry on that day so they chased you back and asked you to go and pay bride price before they can do the registry for you ?? At ikoyi Court?? I want to hear your reply first before I forward this your comment to the right authorities that will look into such case that you claimed happened at inside ikoyi Court .. they will fish out the person who said so

doyin01:
■ I even want him to answer first , the court official is in serious trouble if his comment is true

Legend44:
Which inlaw go follow you go court when you never pay bride price

Abrahamweb:
Shut up with all due respect.
Bride price is compulsory in Africa.
Don't mistake the celebration with the bride price itself o,bride price is a show of acceptance and agreement between the inlaws.
Imagine someone just take your property without asking for your permission and bought receipt to claim it as his own,is that legal in any way?
Don't let childishness and western culture deceive you my dear.

Abrahamweb:
Bride price is a most.
Court wedding is a foreign concept and not compulsory.
If you want respect from your in-laws,pay bride price first and court wedding after.
You want to carry their daughter with asking for their blessings ni?

doyin01:
Bye

Entanglement:
But if you won japa with your wife. You must present court marriage certificate

MSN1:
Lol...

Have a nice day.
