MrHistorian:

Will you stop this nonsense!?

Who mandates Parents' consent for mutual blissful conjugation of two adults?

Cases where one of the bride or groom is an orphan,Where does he/she then solicit consent from?

Bitter truth is,our parents are human as we are and as such fallible for very petty things such as tribalism or religious inclinations.Ours is to rectify it by defying their ideas or paying NO attention. Hmmm...you talk as if you are man enough... Smh

Tell your friend to go ahead and marry her. . . That's if it's not even you.

Tribalism will not take us anywhere. Let him kindly tell his parents that love knows no bounds.

Ladyhippolyta88:
The parents are overbearing.So people are still tribalistic?What is education and enlightenment for?.The blessings of the parents are important but they are not the one's marrying so why the problem,they should bless them and let the marriage hold and not hide under the sentiments of tribalism.Religion and tribalism should not divide us.

A lot of people went to school, they aren't necessarily educated.

A marriage without the blessings of your parents would never bode well.

GGirll:
That was how my partner was being pressured to make sure I join Catholic n Wed there after we agreed to be Pentecostal before n after d wedding when I couldn't stand it anymore I walked away n I'm grateful to God I did......my advise for your friend is to marry her if he can't get to love someone else easily again or let her go cos they will fight her even spiritually n can even cause her death or barreness in my own case I slugged it out spiritually n they threatened to kill their own if they can't kill me n because I don't suc h to happen I walked away.

He should do whatever he likes but must first of all agree that his parents are extremely stupid

Hello people.

I have a very good friend of mind who wants to get married,but his dad and mum are kicking against his choice.
The guy's dad is from edo state,while hos mum is from Abia state.All well educated and they attend Catholic church.

Now the girl in question is from Anambra and attends penticostal church.

The parents of this my friend sad he should not married the girl because Amambra women are not good and she is not catholic.

This guy has convinced the girl to move to catholic and she agreed,but the parenst are still saying no.

The mum even said she will die if he goes ahead and marry the girl.

My friend really loves this girl and he wants to marry her.

Any advice on how to go about this?

Some will say marriage is between you and your partner and your parents have no right to interfere. Thay be true, but what elderly person sees sitting down, a child may not see while standing up

blackbeau1:
If she's willing to spend the rest of her life fighting her in laws , fine. Go ahead. If not , ask him to let her go because eventually all the fighting would wear him down and one day he's gonna have to choose sides between his wife and his family .most often than not, the family wins
