Do not do double wedding all iin the name of traditional and white. Choose one. |
In Nigeria, there are three types of legal marriage namely, Traditional Wedding, White Wedding, and Court Wedding, the three weddings are acceptable and legal in Nigeria. The issue is whichever one you choose has its advantage and disadvantage. If you do traditional or church, it's legal before God, the villages, the two families and everyone in Nigeria. But in law it's not recognized and it's not legal because you do not have the marriage certificate from the court, and you can't do some business as Couples, (e.g) getting visa. So the best way is : place the 2days notice in court, pay the bride price and settle all the settlements, but there should be no joining of the couples during bride price paying. after the 21 days collect the unfilled form, take it to accredited issuance church, during the church wedding the pastor or the officiating minister will fill and sign it, issued to you. Or the authorised person in court can fill nd sign but should not hand them over as couples if they want church wedding. If not you'll end up doing double wedding. The mistake many people do is doing all the 3 Weddings which shouldn't be so. It's has long and widened explanations. Let me leave it at that. |
