fineboynl:
they might be separated already. I would like to know who finance the wedding?

I have a friend whom a girl from italy was planing to send him 200k to go to her home town to do introduction and during the course of the introduction he should pay the bride price. and after that she will work a way to bring him to italy. but I advise my friend not to do it.

it happens every time in Edo.

maybe your uncle his yet to have papers and also yet to bring her there. the marriage will be frustrated until she give up and move on with her life.

I also understand some women just want to get married not because they want to stay but just want to fulfil society. in Edo for example many girls for rich family will get married and within 2 months they will run away to abroad for many years living and forgetting their husband. they know what they where doing from the initial stage. they don't want husband but it's just so that they get married before their younger ones. because when their younger ones marriage is getting pending because of them they just end up marrying the man they don't love. so that the cup can pass over from them.

I heard its quite a common practice in Edo state but do you by chance no someone who is set to get married in that manner?

Dear Nairalanders,

I have been working on this project for a while and I thought I should share it out, its project on Absentee Marriages.

I have been doing a lot of research and findings on proxy marriages and in the cause of my search I realized people get married in this manner but for some reason they do not come out to say, they hide their identities.

I have this uncle who has been in Germany for quite some time now in search of greener pastures and all.

So we had this discussion sometime ago and he told me how he met a young babe online and they have been talking and all, i was like really how nice. In the course of our discussion he told me how he is quite convinced about her and made his intention to settle down with her as soon as possible known to me.

In my curiosity, I asked him how he intends doing it, and how he will present the matter to the family as it's a babe he has only seen virtually and she is based here in Nigeria while he is based in Germany.

After much said and done a date was eventually picked, all marital rites were performed in the absence of my uncle, yes he was able represented that day since he couldn't come to Nigeria for the marriage.

He got married to this babe he met online but the babe is still yet to go meet him in Germany, they have never seen each other

I would like to hear people's thoughts about this type of marriage and also use this as a medium to do an open call out to people who are getting married between now and April in this manner.
Please if you know someone or whoever is interested has a little thing to benefit.
For More Information you can call me on 08098387837

Different things have happened in the cos of time but would want to ask could this be a reason why some family members take a wife for their sons with or without his appearance i.e they end up marrying the girl on behalf of their son even if the wont be physically present for the wedding.

This thread is for individuals who are versatile about people who get married in absentia.
I have heard about people, especially babes who get married in proxy (when a babe gets married and the husband is not physically present).
Need people kindly throw more light about such weddings/Marriages.
