When Abraham wanted to get a wife for his son, Isaac, he instructed his servant on where to go get the wife from. Definitely not from the Canaanites, because of their way of life.

The servant eventually met Rebekah, who brought him to her father's house where the marriage was contracted.

What caught my interest was the manner in which the marriage was celebrated, as compared to what is obtainable today in Igbo land.

1. The marriage was celebrated strictly within the lady's immediate family. There was no umunna, umuada, or any extended family of any sort.

2. There was no marriage list. The bride's father accepted the gifts given to her by Abraham's servant.

Considering the burden being placed upon intending couples as a result of exorbitant lists, its becoming clear that this tradition is unbiblical and satanic in nature.

It adds no real values to the parties involved but only serves as a means of delaying divine purpose in the lives of young people who have attained marriageable age as well as impoverishing them.

Its high time churches and christians in Igbo land begin to speak out out against this unbiblical and satanic tradition.

When has humans become a commodity for sale?

That's what the Igbo tradition does. It sets a price on you and your daughters and that's evil and unbiblical.

Except U want to marry based on Jewish traditions and customs which is what is recorded in d bible. I'm sure U have no idea dat those who practice Jewish traditions and customs are actually not Christians but in Judaism...

Who is laban, Jacob's father in-law?

A greedy and evil man. Its his kind of people that Satan will use to establish such evil tradition. Is that who you want to follow his footsteps?

The same spirit is what made Judas sell his master Jesus, and we see that a lot in a Igbo land.

Imagine what will happen if Judas were to be your father in-law.

Igbo's must rise and fight against this unbiblical and satanic tradition

Marriage is not supposed to be used as an avenue to make financial gains.

Its this very spirit of using humans for financial gains that motivated Omenuko and his cohorts to start slave trade in old bende.

Its evil and against the will of God for humanity.

The right way is the way Rebekah father did. Receive good will gifts from your in-law according to their strength. Never impose heavy burden on them.

We are part of the people who wrote the Bible cuz we are a tribe in Israel... so who d fvck are you?

Oga each tribe has their traditions for marriage, if U want to marry from d tribe den U have to marry according to d tradition. Ur assertion of biblical marriage is downright wrong becos what is recorded in d bible is Jewish traditions. It's jus like having to want to marry from Fulani land and complain about why U have to receive flogging

You need to understand how traditions evolve.

Its usually an idea started by one person, usually a person with the authority figure, who influence others to accept and practice it without questions.

Some traditions are useless and should be done away with as the people become civilized. It also takes one person to start the process of doing away with it.

Virtually corruption has become a tradition for Nigerian public office holders. It took one man in Ghana to do away with the tradition of corruption. We need such a person here in Nigeria

Sorry sir, Laban is not a Jew and did not practice Judaism so telling us that the Bible contains Jewish traditions alone is not true
