AVRecruit:If you are not sure what the law is why not find out before posting rubbish? Before a petition for divorce can be said to be competent there much be grounds for divorce which must be furnished with evidence and proved! |

Joy1706:Are you for real? When there are thousands out there willing even to cohabit without any formalities. |

damocool:Are you aware that should you die without a will or even with a will your immediate family has no protection? And that the native law of your custom which will most likely say that your brothers should inherite your property especially of your kids are still young? I can't believe educated young men are thinking this way! Are you also aware that the law works both ways?? That you are also entitled to what ever wealth your wife has? |

Okijajuju1:Is like you're not in this part of the world, you think guys having baby mamas everywhere are f**ls? The trend is rising, and believe me in the next 10years to come, you will hardly hear about marriage.... After all what's the essence of marriage if not continue your generation.. If she is waiting for court marriage, she go wait tire.... |

AVRecruit:Well taken point. Only in Nigeria do couples have to fulfill traditional, statutory and church marriages before a man is deemed to have married his wife in completion! Complete waste of energy, time and resources!!! Many men have been lured by their wives into statutory/court marriages after concluding tradition and church marriage rites. And without knowing the intricacies and legal obligations of court marriages, they have plunged into the deeps of murky, legal waters! Marriages should be deemed complete after traditional requirements have been completed! Women pressure men for white wedding just to fulfill their Cinderella dreams! The more dangerous and daring wives coerce their husbands into statutory marriages as life insurance policies. |

Sunnynwa:He said "sane woman" that means right thinking. Those ones you refer to are simply insane! |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by MsGlobalwonder(f): 6:43pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
Sunymoore:lool. You intend to marry a biatchhh. Good for you .you don't want to go to registry so you can wake up one morning, throw her out after she has stayed with you through thick and thin for 20yrs? Lool. Funny. People like you eventually get ur match. All the best in your quest bro. |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by YelloweWest: 6:43pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
lezz:Yes call it life insurance, provided it works both ways which it does! If you die you would prefer your siblings to inherit your property while your wife and kids suffer? |

YelloweWest:People see life from different prisms. Your definition of sanity may not be mine. |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by YelloweWest: 6:46pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
MsGlobalwonder:Well said madam. Cos the motivating factor why any man would shy away from court marriage is so that he can behave any how he pleases without any consequences! Nature has a way of dealing with them... |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by lezz(m): 6:48pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
YelloweWest:I shall not die intestate!!! I will leave a will in my wake!!! I will not bow to legal intricacies !!! A conceited wife can exploit the advantages of a statutory marriage to the utmost!!!! |

Marriage should be base on trust be u christian or muslim, there was nothing linking court marriage to the BIBLE or QURAN. Court marriage is not based on trust. My own thought. |

Small pikin talk. So when OP papa dey work him Mama no dey busy at the home front? Does the OP know what it takes to be a dutiful wife and mother? Does he know that raising kids when dad is out and about doing business that mom had to double the effort to be there for her kids and husband? Why then does the OP think women play no role in the growth of the wealth of a family? You ask a woman to surffer with you she agree then you turn around and say she married you for greed? If she does not marry a a poor man they abuse her for not marrying a man with potential. Na wetin women go do wey una no go talk? |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by Sunnynwa: 6:50pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
lezz:Nigerian law recognises customary marriage and considers it equal to registry marriage. It's just that people are ignorant of that. I did just traditional marriage and that is what I used to get my wife a UK dependant visa. |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by 2good(m): 6:50pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
YelloweWest:You don't need marriage certificate to have a will. You cannot get your dead spouse property except they will it to you, hence your thought on marriage and will is flawed |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by MsGlobalwonder(f): 6:51pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
hedonistic:women useless? You mean every woman you know is useless? Your mum,aunt,sisters, daughters (in view perhaps)... woow. That's terrible of them. |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by MsGlobalwonder(f): 6:54pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
YelloweWest:thank you! To back up their irresponsibilities. I pity women that fall for such scams. Hehhe. |

Sunnynwa:In Nigeria statutory and customary marriages have an ocean of difference. 1) if you marry statutorily, only a Federal HIGH COURT CAN PRONOUNCE YOU DIVORCED!!! ( I think Imo state is the only exception to state courts)2) If you marry statutorily, you become liable to the offence of bigamy ( the crime of marrying more than one wife) it carries jail time without the option of fine. 3) To process a divorce is expensive. Lawyers charge more going to high courts ![]() 4) Your wive gets to keep a certain percentage of your estate in almost any circumstances BY LAW!!! 5) IF YOU CAUGHT HER IN BED WITH ANOTHER MAN, GETTING A DIVORCE MIGHT BE TOUGH 6) MOST COUNTRIES DO NOT RECOGNISE ANY OTHER FORMS OF MARRIAGE. _FUCK YOU THINK AKATA BOYS ARE MARRYING LOCAL GIRLS STATUTORILY FOR ? |

TO A TRUE CHRISTIAN DIVORCE IS A TABOO THAT MUST BE AVOIDED BY ALL MEANS EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF ADULTRY |

2good:What Then once a spouse dies without a will his or her property passes to the surviving spouse automatically! That is if you are married under the Act.If you have a will without being married under the Act, your brothers will frustrate the surviving spouse with court cases, meanwhile the native law and custom of the man will be in place in till the determination of the court case which will take years... In other words your immediate family is doomed! |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by YelloweWest: 7:03pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
lezz:What if your will is contested and thrown out by the court? And even if it is not contested, the native law and custom of your place will be in place till the determination of the court case! What then happens to your wife and kids in the interim? ? |
| Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by YelloweWest: 7:08pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
Sunnynwa:I got married when I was 18. My husband is by far my senior in age. Even as a teenager I knew I would never be in a marriage not recognised by law! Not just customary law but the constitution law which is apex in Nigeria. Since then I have been through a lot with my husband bore 5kids for him. I have GIVEN HIM MY LIFE!!! Everytime the man I married tells me my wife everything I own belong to you! I bless God for him.... I don't know if you are married or what you think marriage is but I tell you once you give a good woman a sense of security and behave well, you will live a long and happy life! |
