Good luck with that. I don't think any sane lady will marry a man in this era without doing registry marriage. I for one will do all three.
What are the advantages of this - to a woman - as opposed to Church & Trad?

Thank you. Everyone wanna feel entitled. Smh! So, he can wake up one morning ; kidnap the woman's kids, send her out and nothing will happen. Wicked soul!

Only foolish women will accept this fuckery of a suggestion.


SO you marry her under customary laws and leave the woman with no rights or legal protection whatsoever.. You can kick her and the kids out whenever you please and keep all your money and leave her high and dry abi?

Or when you die, you leave her at the mercies of your family to determine what portion of your asset she gets or not abi?

Of you can marry more wives and add to her and she cant do shit about it abi?

Or you can cheat on her with no consequences abi?






This Thread is the dumbest thread of the year..

Women, If your Husband wants to marry you, let him do court marriage first to show he is serious before una even go do traditional. angry


The only protection a married woman has in Nigeria is her Court Marriage license. angry

I'm sorry to be late to this thread.

Truth is marriage is too sacred to be interfered with by some godless scholars. Who the hell is a judge or magistrate or whatever to pronounce anyone married or divorced? GOD is the owner, originator of marriage, not man. And we are to abide by GOD's standard in marriage. When man attempt to fix issues he never originated by his own knowledge and understanding, he only complicate it further and prove he isn't truly wise.

Even priests have no scriptural backing to join anyone in matrimony. They can only bless a marriage.

An unmarried girl belongs to her father. And he only can give her out in marriage with his blessings to any man she chooses. His role is to advice and counsel her before she makes her choice and after.

Children belong more to their fathers even in divorce. They trace their lineage through their father and therein lies their inheritance and identity.

Since man-made, carnal institutions have poked their noses into marriage, divorce is rampant and most times for flimsy reasons.
I pity the soul of any judge who has ever dissolved a marriage save for adultery. On issues of threat to life, I believe the appropriate response is separation, and not outright divorce.

Still, I believe a judge should have no powers dissolving any marriage. Such an institution is too sacred for his carnal mind to meddle into.

Traditional marriage is the most spiritual and significant. There you abide by custom and pay every dues to the bride's parents and relative. Then you would have settled both man and spirit.

But she's not a property oooo!

So smart men will never in the first place trust their marital covenant to be based and supervised by some spiritually hollow intellectuals, A.K.A wise-fools.
U are bless

Many women have turned State sponsored divorce laws into a lucrative business. Find a well to do man or a man with potential, after several years or a decade, file divorce. You get to keep his house, alimony and child support payments, half of ur future income goes to her while she sleeps with other men!

im not sure what the laws are in Nigeria but guys wise up, only do traditional lest u part with ur landed property and union bank shares!

For white wedding just call pastor to pray for u.
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!

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?

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..

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.

Marriage is societal expectation, so I'll fulfil it for the society, but handling my money to her? Hell No!
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.

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?

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.
Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by delishpot: 6:49pm On Mar 09, 2016
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?

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.

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

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!!! undecided ( 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 grin

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 ?

Whathuh 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!

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? ?

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!
