I would really love those who have experience with this to post, but as it is, I think most people would still come here and say they'll never do it. If I meet someone I really truly love and my parents are against it, I'm afraid I will go right ahead with it.

When I see guys who have left the girl they were dating because of parental refusal to give consent, I often consider them to be weak. Or they never truly loved the lady in the first place.

You are still a child.


Child is an understatement. Your mind is your greatest weapon.use your mind to decide. Even the bible did not state that your parents must choose wife for you or decide your wife There work after you are grown up is to advice and bless.Molly wood and Zeeworld has spoiled our ability to stand and make manly decisions.

The thing called marriage nobody is sure of what comes next. So many ladies and guys parents, friends and all knew very well turned devil and vice versa. Go for it, if it pleases you. Probably the mind set of THEY DON'T WANT US TO BE TOGETHER will guide you in most ways. All the best!

Before creating this topic, I tried to search nairaland to see if there's something like this but I couldn't find. The closest I saw were advices on how to go about things when your parents object to your marital decision.

I am currently at a crossroad in my marital decision. My mother does not want me to marry my fiance because of her mother's behaviour.

This is not a unique issue and I know many people have faced something like that in the past.

I know all the advices but what I want to know experience of people who have gone ahead despite their parents' disapproval.

If you have gotten married without your parents' consent, what was your experience? Can you kindly share, so everyone can learn?
What behavior does she have I mean your intended mother-in-law. Elaborate

I know that is one of the popular advice on will get. But what if it is even because of God that you are making your decision. Then you will have to decide if God is first or your parents.

Anyways, this thread is for people to share experience. There are other threads full of different advices.

Advice is cheap! Talk is cheap! Don't we usually say, experience is the best teacher.

Holy spirit is the best teacher...and not experience because there are somethings you might experience and you don't come out to tell the story. just pray and ask for his (holy spirit) lead.

Parent are not always right when it comes to marriage decisions. If you feel good around your spouse and you are convinced she is the one you want.

Try to pacify your parent and make them realize its your life and not theirs and moreover they have lived there own.

There consent is not God's consent.

That never happens!
Most marriages will encounter problems later.
Even your parents had their own marital problems despite having their parents consent.

God forbid that I marry without their consent
Lemme give you a little advice,cos its obvious you aren't of age yet.
Parental consent though not the ultimate,is important,and is a tricky stuff.
U know among these elders,there's this saying that what an elder sees sitting down,d child can't see from the top of a tree.
U know why Igbo marriages fail d least?Cos it's a union b/w 2 families.
Nowadays, d economy and social media put a lot of unions thru stress.
And that is when the parents/families come in.
Cos after you do introduction,search(only Igbo ppl will understand),bride price paying,traditional wedding,church/formal wedding, both families are already one.
So,when a stressor comes ,if the man/woman complains to his/her ppl,they ppl will tell him/her"go back to your husband/wife,we know him/her,something must've made him/her misbehave or we will call him/her and caution him/her".
Now,imagine where you didn't have family consent?

It is not ideal, but it sometimes happens

I am lucky in that my parents agreed with my wedding arrangement..but the truth of the matter is, if they had refused , I would still have gone ahead and married my wife, as long as she is still willing to marry me..Parents will be sorted out later.

When you meet a woman that you genuinely love and she loves you back the same., parents cannot be a barrier.

well in reaction to this,my xperience is this,my dad is late n my mum was initially against my marriage due to pressure frm my siblings who were against it,but eventually gave me a greenlite.d best of wat i wld advise is God's position on d union?Have u prayed and seeked His council on it?wat if ur parents r against ur union based on selfish interest?d bottom line is God's directive and every oda tin wld fall in line.

There's a 70% chance your wife will take her Mom's character.
If her Mom's bad is something you are willing to and can TOLERATE, talk to your parents and maybe go ahead.
NOTE! Do not make the mistake of letting her know your Mom objected in anyway

OP Olumyde,
You must be a Nigerian living abroad. You guys try to mirror the bullshyte you see in those countries to the cultural setting here in Nigeria. Dont turn our society into same bullshyte you live under over where you are.

Who do you know in Nigeria to go marry without blessing from their families? Denial of consent is denial of blessing. There are certain rites to be performed before couple marry, they are necessary and important. You get those rites only after consent is given.

Crap!

Well, it is a 50/50 chance why if anything happens. Now to the topic. Why not try and settle all issues before marriage cos it will add alot of pressure on you. Your mom wouldn't want to come visiting your wife see her as a bad person and all sort, call your mom talk to her your mother in-law let your wife talk to her. Yoruba will say You can marry a bad wife but a bad In-law is dangerous. Make sure both you and your wife have someone who can call u to order

One reason why your parents are still trying to dictate to you is because you’ve not proven to them that you can protect yourself.
