Sweetlemon:

NLers and their comprehension disablities again. What part of getting a legal document do you not understand? I'm not talking about ceremony here. Just a signed document with witnesses. Please how does that require borrowing? Abi na wheel barrow pusher you wan marry ni?

Sweetlemon:

What is this one saying

Sweetlemon:

You no get wahala nau. You are fully married.

Thank God you understand what I mean by document. Please help me explain to them.

jmoore: Growing trend? I don't think so.

Anyways, my plan is to do my traditional and church wedding the same day.

Kachisbarbie:
I do dear. Someone said we ladies love big weddings, she may have to speak for herself, bc i am very conservative when it comes to finance. Not like we talking about ceremony here, just signing the dotted lines ...be it in church/court.
i don't support people that did it bearing in mind that a divorce will occur o, there is no room for that in my marriage. I just want that legal backing, you can't walk into any org and tell dem you are married without any paper to back it up.
recently I have even be asked for newspaper publication, i was so reluctant to do it...lol
my hubby just gave me as new month gift...hahahahaha

@100cents, I haven't seen it, my mail is telling me yahoo not responding...blablabla, wareva that means

The government needs to do something about our traditional marriage, so we can issue legal documents to back the traditional wedding.

Ivanspring: I had no idea that some women can still follow men blindly in this day and age! I'm really surprised to read some ladies' comments here. Where i come from, (even the church advises the same thing) court marriage comes first before you even talk about the traditional and white weddings.

Ladies it is for your own good oh...court marriage is the cheapest among the three. Try to see that you do it.

Sweetlemon:

Lol!

Those Italians will not be recognized without an official document even in Nigerian courts not talk of their own country.

You missed the emphasis on the legal document and not necessarily the ceremony.

israelbenzion:

u are misinforming people. traditional marriage is as solid as the so-called "court marriage" (Marriage under the Act). the only difference is that different laws govern both. for Ur info, conducting Registry immediately nullifies all other forms of marriage earlier conducted, and performing any other form of marriage after registry marriage is an offence punishable by jail time. pls download urself a copy of the Marriage Act and be better informed. do u need judicial authorities to clarify issues for u? send Ur email address and I'll give u some. but I beg u, stick to facts.

Sweet lemon, do you know that ladies who approach marriage with the most selfish mindset become the worst failures at it.

Evergreen123: Can any of these noise makers tell me the significance of white wedding?

White ppl marry once while inferiority complex drives Africans to marry more than once.
so bad

Blebleswag:
Am nt sayin is nt included or u should do it, but nt important. So havin a traditional marriage is nt legal abi? Even bible talk am say tradition 1st. Haba sweetlemon!

Sweetlemon:

Honestly. I am tired of explaining to people that it's not necessarily about a big white wedding with all the ceremony and pageantry but about signing documents. It doesn't matter if there are only 5 witnesses. Just sign a document!

*Abandons threads*

Kachisbarbie:
My dear, shun them. Some people can read but they don't understand...and you know understanding is very important...lol

adconline:
Talk is cheap.. If most Naija females pay their fair share of weddings - trad or white, they would demand less and know that wedding is a one-day thing while marriage is a continuous task which needs money..

Kachisbarbie:
That's why I said understanding is scarceee - You just proved it, no one said you should do societal,we only said documentation. Court marriage was 10k the last time I checked. So if you have a meaningful submission...lemme hear it.

adconline:
Most guys would not shy away to sign a simple piece of paper and go home and enjoy their marital life, but is that going to be comfortable with most women? Signing a piece of paper without fun-fair? I doubt it.. the subtext of this heading should ve been " why do most men dread fancy white wedding after traditional wedding?
Back to my point.. Understanding your demands comes with picking up the tab in a white wedding! Guys don't run from signing a piece paper, but signing a blank check to cover a much fantasized "royal wedding" that's been anticipated since childhood.

israelbenzion:

I guess u didn't know that Local Government Councils issue certificate of traditional marriage if you approach them for one. again, I'll bet u didn't know that a simple affidavit of marriage suffices for d same purpose as a marriage certificate. ask NYSC. I have personally called them on this issue before and they stated so. all the
above stated documents never still do?
