ZIMDRILL:It is the duty of the man to protect his wife from the preys of the family If you mess up with your wife your family will do same to her If you prove to your family that my wife is my source of happiness, tgry will avoid her like corona No woman goes into marriage to loose her husband But in the event such happens, the family out to give her the assurance that she won't suffer, simple Now how do you make that to work out, by protecting her from the family attacks and harassments by inlaws while you are alive |

LeRabbite:But the law doesn't see gender. Tradition does. The same protection offered a woman with a court marriage is the same offered a man. Many of our men are still governed by tradition, hence the aversion for court marriage seen. When a woman is from a wealthy home, the men don't need to be convinced of a court marriage, they pursue it. 1.Getting a divorce is much easier with a traditional marriage where the bride price is easily returned within a day e.g Tonto Dike and Churchill . So perhaps our men are thinking along that route in the foreseeable future? 2.With only a traditional marriage, a man is still allowed to several other wives , and a man who refuses court wedding to his partner has such intentions until proven otherwise. 3.My advice for such women is to ensure they reach their maximum potential even while married (all women actually). Do not give up your own career, goals , aspirations and dreams in order for your man to achieve his. Don't stay home under the guise of raising children and not developing yourself while he is out there building a future for himself where he doesn't see you or perhaps sees several other women by his side in that future. Make sure he does his own equal contribution in the home front with your children, and that he also supports you in achieving your goals as you support him in achieving his. |

frozen70:did you read the start of the thread? we are talking of in the event that husband dies, how can he protect wife when he already? unless wife is being protected by law via registered marriage which give rights to remaining spouse which is the wife |

frozen70:their are lots dear you not hearing about them doesnt mean there are not outside and many people are doing civil registered marriages meaning those will exercise their right in event of death or divorce |

LeRabbite:We are talking about a legally binding contract here. It doesn't really matter what you or she wants or regrets from it, the law will take its course incase of a divorce . |

Things like this is why it is better to marry a learned,well exposed and rich lady. If you marry such lady even if you die first she’ll never have any problems. ZIMDRILL: |

eyinjuege:its so funny how people are self centred, its ok for wife to walk away with nothing after divorce or death would you love your sister to be treat the same way ? kicked back to your parents house, if they have any with nothing after the death of her husband or divorce. Lets say the marriage was 15 years for real 15 years she goes back with nothing The men who are in support against registered marriage give silly excuse to say a civil registered marriage is signing your death warrant, if you dont trust her why are you marrying her, if a person is evil a tradional marriage wont stop her from killing you |

If u wan japa, court wedding to the rescue. @op, u no wan leave naija with your wife if u have the opportunity? |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by LeRabbite: 9:03pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
eyinjuege:I don’t about the law not seeing gender, that may be on paper as women are reported to serve less time for the same crime as men. A lot of judgements are at the judge’s discretion. Also, because gender, legal protections are not necessarily the same as both genders have different motivations and ‘values’. As for men wanting to statutorily secure moneyed women, opportunists will always exist which is, perhaps, why men like OP are averse to statutory weddings. Many can not vouch for their spouses. I totally agree with your last paragraph, though |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by Nobody: 9:06pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
eyinjuege:See, court marriage don't actually secure women in their marriage. When u marry and in your will, it's your brother or father u use as next of kin, buy land or build house and the wife's name isn't there, the woman is on a long thing whether court or no court. Heaven help her if she has a child. That's the only viable way she can claim the man's property. If no child, zero chance( I have talked about this severally here). A traditionally married man who paired his name with that of his wife and in everything he does, his wife's name is there ,always carrying his wife along is better than that man who did court marriage yet put his father or brothers name as next of kin. The koko is that when bros is buying car for u, he should put your name, he bought land, if he don't want to put your name, he should put your child's name as court will make the mum the caretaker which invariably has made her the owner. If the person have plan of relocating, court wedding is necessary. |

ZIMDRILL:Unless the wife was compelled to stop working by the husband, I see no reason why she should be entitled to a farthing post divorce. Why do you think a man worried his wife may bail on him and still leave with his valuables is a silly excuse for not wanting a statutory wedding? Aren’t there women who marry with the sole intent of taking advantage of the man’s resources? Can you tell which woman is which? |

Lionessza6:What if the course of the law is considered unjust? |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by LeRabbite: 9:13pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:Lol. What is this? |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by ZIMDRILL(m): 9:14pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
Plead:you need to be specific As the child is below 18 the man has look after his child whether the child is on will or not and if the marraige was registered whether wife was not on will she still gets something by default of registered marriage Remember a will doesnt mean it covers everything, a will can be specific to certain things and it can not overrule some rights eg you want to brother to have the house. but your wife has 4 kids who are below 18 by default the house will go the kids and wife or they will allowed to live in the house untill the kids are atleast 22 or able to look after themself other scenario the house would be made a family house meaning no individual own the house There is a difference between A WILL and ONE'S ESTATE, a will is usually specific instructions to give certain things to specific people and AN ESTATE its everything you own from property to everyone you owe money, if you were owing lots of money your family house can be sold to pay of the debt you owed. Havent you heard of people who walked away with nothing from a will that there were entitled to something simply becoz the deceased owed more than what they had payments affected the will |

I find it weird that you find it unreasonable for her to want a court marriage? Isn't the court marriage actually the official/recognized thing? What's the point of getting married if not for the court marriage unless you just want to hoodwink her with the shallow 'idea' of marriage without the actual full responsibilities. I dunno, maybe it's a Nigerian thing. If you just want to cohabitate as a couple, better let her know that's your intention |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by Nobody: 9:22pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
LeRabbite:You’re on point. |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by ZIMDRILL(m): 9:25pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
LeRabbite:remember law doesnt care whether wife or husband was not working, being a housewife/husband is taken as contribution to the marriage by that whether wife or husband you are entitle to have something from that divorce settlement Its not the government duty to vet that the wife/husband is marrying with intent to take advantage of the the man/woman resources you are meant to vet yourself but in the event of you discover the intention you got the right to file for divorce and use that as reason for divorce and also reasons for her/him to gain anything from the divorce settlement |

ZIMDRILL:How long do you think it takes to get resolved What do you think her inlaws will be doing in that interim You are a man and I am a woman, best option is protect your wife from your family and they will treat her with respect even if you are not there |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by frozen70(f): 10:23pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:It's obvious you don't understand what I mean by protect your wife before your family Let's me explain more Most families, wants to know if a man is in control if his wife If he washes his wife's pants and bra If he is a house boy to the wife or if he us the lion at home If he takes orders from the wife or if he gives orders to his wife You see, a married woman happiness in marriage lyes on the way her husband places valued on her She is a stranger that ame to make a family with you and your siblings They may not want her type but for the fact that she us your choice protect her Don't expose her to your family |

frozen70:i think we are not on the same page dear the discussion here is based on registered marriage in the event of death of a husband or divorce in the event of either of the two in-laws have no say over if one persue the legal way aka law |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by frozen70(f): 10:27pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:Am very glad that the women of this generation now knows when to sense danger. Unlike the olden days women that endured till they went to grave |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by frozen70(f): 10:29pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
At this point, I will end this discussion pls When you get married you will get the experience better but for now, you won't understand |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by ZIMDRILL(m): 10:34pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
frozen70:i get your point but you got it twisted our scenario is based on either death or divorce, what are the rights to women, who has a registered marriage, by law no one has right to the property except the living spouse in this case its the wife this got nothing to do with respect whatsoever |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by ZIMDRILL(m): 10:36pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
frozen70:i wont understand what, am 44 dear have been married before |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by frozen70(f): 10:39pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
ZIMDRILL:Sure, no one have the right to claim a dead man's property so far he has a wife or rather has a family he left behind |
| Re: What To Do When A Woman Insist On Court Marriage by frozen70(f): 10:39pm On Apr 28, 2020 |
