Ladies, be careful what u wish for, though traditional weddings are more homely, less expensive and recognised by your locality, it should be noted that

1. It recognises the man as superior to the woman cos she was bought with a price rather than they being partners.
2. It allows polygamy unlike other forms, hence your hubby can always take multiple wives once he feels like and if he mistakenly impregnates ur househelp or any stray slut, he could be forced to marry her by tradition against your will.
3. It allows divorce easily for even very thrival reasons and doesn't mandate any settlement for the woman even if not her fault
4. The man's property still remains his and his family's own and they have the rights under customary laws to kick u out for some unfair reasoins once he dies.
5. Traditional marriages are not recognised in the international community, hence giving the man a right to marry an oyinbo lady outside which becomes the legal one even though u were there for several years.
6. Some of them involve some fetish rituals, libations to gods or fore-fathers, this unknown to many have some very strong spiritual conotations which later come to affect the family in future.

So if you have to choose, b wise or rather top it up with a more protective form

@switfy cool u must be a lost son, it a shame 4 an African to condemed his own tradition for preference to a western tradition, did u know the spiritual tides behind a white wedding, even in the bible, it was a traditional wedding Jesus christ attended. Please find out more about traditional marriage from ur parent b4 u go about vomiting nonsense.
