Entanglement:
let's say your woman has a body count of 100 pennisss and her bride price to be paid is 10,000 naira!

That's 100 pennisss divided by 10,000 naira
(100÷ 10000)
Which is Equal to 0.01.
So therefore you will be paying 0.01 naira

Lol
Just because your old hag whóre mother was passed around by COUNTLESS men until she used your father as a retirement plan, doesn't mean that that's how every other mom is
If e sure for you and you really want to know the truth, ask your mother if she as a virgin, or ask your father if he was the one that disvirgined your mom
In my house, if you're a girl and you're not marrying as a virgin, my parents will never attend your wedding. It's like a ringtone. My mom plays it all the time in their ears that I didn't bring shame to my parents, so I won't allow any child bring shame me.

Johnnyposh:
I did this cos I impregnated her 2 years ago and they forced me to marry her by going to the registry after introduction,and I did not pay her bride price, I regret doing this because they disrespect me now and it’s a very shameful thing.

Your story no make sense! You got her pregnant and were then forced to marry in the courts the woman you impregnated. What sort of respect do you desire from any of what you did?

Thanks 4 ur daft compliment.
Comparing our sanity with westerners that are extremely insane shows u are very illogical.

Bros or whoever u are;
HOW WUD U FEEL IF UR DAUGHTER GOES TO COURT BY PASSING FAMILY RITES TO GET MARRIED?

U failed to undastand dat these wesyerners are very illogical wen it comes to issues with socialization, People dat wete born of a woman to openly tell u dat; U can marry a man and woman can marry women, shows dat; those of u believing their practices are fools!.

So bros, take dis ur baseless and myopic argument to FOOLS.

But the same westerners brought "Christianity " into your country and you are practicing that same thing they brought..you are following the Christianity...


So does that mean you are a hypocrite ?? Or you are just naturally daft !!!!!

The same westerners that you said are illogical when it comes to socialization , the same westerners brought education to you and that is why mumu like you can at least read and write. Or you don't know what socialization mean??

The same fools like you still keep wearing clothes made by those same westerners , it means you are a hypocrite right?? Wearing something that belongs to those you are condemning..what does that make you ??

What stops you from wearing your traditional wears everyday.. why must you embrace the style of the westerners ?? Why must you make use of their products ?? Why use something made by those who you believe are against socialization ??

You are not just daft , but sick in the head

Nope! It's kidnapping,kinda.
How can you we'd somebody's daughter without paying her dowry to her father?
This is Africa!
The customary laws still subsist.

Kobojunkie:
Pride that is typically used against the woman by her man? LOL

2. A man who chooses not to "buy" a wife is stingy. A man who foregoes having brideprice to wave over the head of his wife at any junction is stingy?

So man uses paying of bride price to abuse his wife ?
Obvious you are single or married without paying your prices. As it is today, only a dirty lady you will marry without paying her price. Na gutter gal u wan marry ?. Mr man pls pay your bride price. It comes with blessing. Stop running after dirty street gals. Try nd marry from literate family. Stop that dirty thing pls

1. Yes!

2. Stop with the desperate attempts to derail focus here. You asked a serious question only to follow it up with a frivolous claim, for what purpose?

3. What blessing again?

tonicyril:

U re married to her in the face of man, but not in the face of creator...

Check all the religious book. What u will find there is that u should pay a woman dowry, no emphasis on whatever registry u choose to attend

Who did Adam paid dowry to when he got eve? So you are telling me that white people who don't dowry are not marrying in the fave of God? Grow up man. Court marriage supercedes traditional marriage. Tell me why traditional marriage is easier to divorce than court marriage?

Alaye, I belive u have someone who is more knowledgeable than me and you....
Elders are in position to tell us and educate us

So ask him all these instead of asking me na

The point is " bride price is not needed," to get wedded at the court.
If you then determine to do the bride price thing at a later date or when it is convenient, your call.
But in the eyes of the law( state),you are wedded.

I'm from the southwest, the bride price thing and list is hinged solely on what you can afford , not some group of people telling you to go bring your life savings and borrow extra just to fulfill some drummed up cultural mumbo jumbo....

The idiot knows there is no where in the bible where the bible stated that bride price MUST be paid..Next time always remember that not everyone is dumb like you that you can just say some nonsense lies and expect them to swallow it up...

And yeah go and tell your sisters that court wedding is not necessary as long as they have paid their bride price...it is the bride price they and their husbands will go and use to collect visa as a couple... they will take pictures and videos of the traditional wedding to the embassy

So Many dumb people on this nairaland...quora here i come

No any marriage without pride price is not legally.

See, a no know about any other person oh, but me no dey go any registry for marriage, a no fit relinquish my authority on the altar of marriage..

Women get all the juicy loves in this world, if u and a woman are in dare need of some help I am sure she would get help and even forget about the situation before u get half of what she get, that is even if u will get at all.
Woman has the very tendencies to attract favour from anybody so far she's a woman, same can not be told about men..

The only thin remaining for men is the authority nature have given to us as the head, and I can't afford to lose it cus of one union, u have had the goodies of the world already so allow me to enjoy the goodies nature gave to me..
If u re not content with the traditional wedding of going to ur parent and pay for ur head then make everyone dey hin dey oh

I am not sure but I believe the court respects tradition and may insist on payment of bride price before conducting the court marriage. On the other hand, legality is different from tradition. What is traditional may be illegal and what is legal may be untraditional.

not true I did my statutory wedding before trad and no they ddnt ask me any questions as regards bride price. But you must do the bride price payment that is the real 'I don Mary's ortherwise you are OYO stattutory wedding is for documentation purpose, e get why

If I'm not mistaken ..I think I was asked by the registrar before the court proceedings began if I had concluded my traditional rites


...my father in law was there to confirm my claim.
Maybe that's not regular procedure buT...I was asked that question

Hugotee:


They will soon marry your sister or daughter without pay any thing. Goat.

did youbread his comment at all,why call him goat??

Kobojunkie:
No court will hand over custody to another man if the marriage was legally registered in the courts. All that "who owns the kids" nonsense only comes into play when there was no court registration of the marriage.

What you've said is true but in this particular case I mentioned, the man will likely have his children legally but his wife "oti lor"

jackie111:
■ What you've said is true but in this particular case I mentioned, the man will likely have his children legally but his wife "oti lor"

Legally, the children belong to both the man and the woman.

Hugotee:


Oga stop this nonsense!!!, the court recognize tradition. You must pay Bride prize before court marriage.

bride was not paid before my statutory wedding which indid after about a year later, court no send you....but bride payment rite is absolute if you must really be referred to as married. Statutory alone is for people who want to escape or dodge some things but u cant escape it.

--FOR THOSE THAT ARE READY TO LEARN---
Those days, even if there were no monetary reward marriages, they had a way of compensating the father of the bride.

Thats to say; Right from time, Marriage rites were managed and controllled by th father and family.

Anyone with a contrary view, should cite instances and examples from ANY religion of his/ her choice.
Am VERY open to learning and not as daft as some pipo claiming MAN MADE IDEAS AS BEING FACTUAL.

Hugotee:

4get them, pipo speaking and thinking with their anus.
Naija that is lawless is d reason y dey decided to accept lies and oppression.

SUPERPACK:
Yes, you are legally married. Court marriage don't require bride price nor consent from family members.

But for the sake of peace and avoidance of future wahala pls pay the bride price before going ahead with the court marriage or even after.

I don't know where you are from but here in igboland they don't joke with bride price, it is important and will be talked about for ages. Your children could be regarded as outcast to the extended family too.

But if you get a very understanding family that agree to court marriage only then no issue as they have the right to wave it or make it very affordable even down to just #50 so you will have no issues.

My community here in Enugu will most times say bring #100,000 and when it is presented they will take only one note from the whole money and return the rest to the groom's family. They will tell you that there daughter is not for sale and if maltreated they will take her back.

If the family insist on bride price please do not force your way through with the court marriage as it could be risky, the tussle is not worth it.

Good evening, you are entitle to your own opinion but i must tell you the "WHOLE" truth, bride price is important and is a must before you would be called a "married person."

The court will request for signatories from both the man and the woman's family, they will be witness and also attest that both family gave their consent.

It's highly inappropriate to proceed to court for marriage when the lady's family have not been settled, thank you.

See who is talking. Are you a virgin?


Paying bride is very symbolic and important. It is not the amount paid that is important, in many cultures (aside from those people in the down map that usually sell their daughters....) some still collect as low as 10k, but you might still be given a long list....

BRIDE PRICE IS TRADITIONAL AND SHOULD BE BASED ON WHO YOU ARE MARRYING.
ONLY VIRGINS DESERVE BRIDE PRIDE, OR AT LEAST, BRIDE PRIDE SHOULD BE BASED ON BODYCOUNT.
NON-VIRGIN WH0REZ DON'T DESERVE FULL BRIDE PRICE.
THEIR BRIDE PRICE SHOULD BE DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF THEIR BODYCOUNT.

EVEN AS A MILLIONAIRE, GOD FORBID THAT I WILL PAY FULL BRIDE PRICE ON A GIRL THAT IS NOT A VIRGIN.
EVEN IF HER PAPA SAY HER BRIDE PRICE IS 10K, I WILL STILL DIVIDE IT BY THE NUMBER OF HER BODYCOUNT.[/quote]

You were (probably still are) irresponsible and not even ashamed of it.

Who did you expect to marry a lady you got pregnant? What nonsense!

I like how most of you will come on nairaland (especially) to lie to yourselves (that you don't have to marry a lady you impregnate), then are made to face reality in real world.

Kobojunkie:
Which one be marriage by nature?

2. Will not be recognized by what society? The same society that the courts ruie over or a different society entirely?

Make una dey there dey spin tales of arrogance in ignorance left and right.

you are a pure clown 🤡
Court will force the society to recognize your marriage. Well it all starts will a delusion.
