5minsmadness: Protect my children from the one who is supposed to protect me? Lol! If I don't have the love of such a man then there is no need to marry. The man I will marry will love me for who I am and not for my breast. The problem with us women is that we marry men for what they have, not what they are. I'm not saying ladies should marry beggars but at the end of the day it is the qualities of a man you marry and not his possessions. What qualities if I may ask? And why bring in wealth into the picture? Who said anything about that? Even poor men cheat! You are a small girl so and single so I'll pardon your ignorance. Just so you know men are moved by what they see. Will a man get married to a woman he is not physically attracted to? Have you ask why men some men don't want court marriage?? One guy here said it's because it does not give a man options if he falls out of love with his wife! And guess what he is absolutely right! The law does not say you can't divorce your wife. It only says that it will cost you! The wan is entitled to half of what ever wealth you acquired WHILE YOU WERE MARRIED! Marry for love that's good and marry well have all the rights that are available to you! |

5minsmadness: Traditional marriage
Court wedding Church wedding
That's the plan.
Truth is, marriage is a SPIRITUAL institution and not a CARNAL or LEGAL one. The moment white folk introduced the pre-nup and legal aspect, they screwed up the spiritual romance of marriage. Why go into marriage seeking for what you will gain from your partner instead of what you can give. Selfishness in marriage is a recipe for misery.
People's should marry those whom they love(women) and respect(men). The purpose of marriage is to bring joy and love, not Strife and competition. That one na your own! If you like no protect your self and your kids. By the time you have kids and your breast flat like bathrooms slippas like my own , if you are not married to a good man and he falls in love with a young girl with standing breast, your own Don finish! |

lezz: Let me confess, I didn't read beyond the first line of impossibility of fighting statutory marriage....I just finished off from a hard day at the office and I'm unwinding in a local bar. I'm debating with you with less than 40% of my brain controlled by the less than 50% of my sobriety.
A statutory marriage isn't immune from the evil antics of greedy relations. Law suites can drag for ages by injunctions and other legal hurdles further than a Will.
I don't favour statutory marriages, it doesn't give a man much options if the wife falls out of love in old age.
Will can always be written and rewritten to reflect real-time changes.
Bring it on, _fuck this beer!!! Pls I'd like some precedence on statutory marriages that have been successful set aside by the late husbands family  Do you even have a conscience at all? What if your father fell out of love with your mum and throws her and her kids out? How would you feel? It's exactly reasons like this that's why we have the MARRIAGE ACT. |

I am telling you about a realistic experience and you're quoting what you know nothing about. just so you know, I had to get a lawyer and follow the legal process to unlock the money and no marriage certificate was required. Where did I ever say marriage certificate is required to access money of a late spouse?  I never said that pls. My position and position of the law is a spouse married under the Act is protected from the late spouses family members when he or she dies intestate. |

2good: Do not argue with me. When my dad was alive, I was a signatory to his account, meaning I could sign his cheque and be given money by the bank without him co signing. After he died, I made the mistake of telling the bank that he is late and that was it. They refuse my withdrawal from his account that day. The money in his account will remained locked for the next 5 years before we were able to unlock the money and guess what? My father did not do a court wedding meaning my mum doesn't have any marriage certificate. Be sure of what you say in the public especially if you have no clue about it. Excuse me?? Pls mind what you say if you are ignorant to the law. If you were coming signatory to your dad's account the bank had no right to stop you! If your parents were married under the Act once u obtain letter administration all your dad's property would have passed to your mum! The law protects a surviving spouse WHO IS MARRIED UNDER THE ACT! WITHOUT A WILL! |

lezz: Nothing happens!!! Even if I married her statutorily, she'll still seek legal remedies if relations of mine became heady as she will have to do during the validation of the will.
Mind you, a Will can only go through validity test when contested.
Who the _fuck is going to contest that ?
My relatives? Not a chance. If they did, they'll also fight her statutory marriage or not. It's near to impossible to fight a statutory marriage. There are just too many witness If you married her statutorily and your family members want to fight her over your property, the laws stated in the Act will be in place in till determination of any matter in court. She has no such protection under customary law. I and my husband are both lawyers and our will only states how our property is to be shared in the event both of us die the same time. If not our property would pass to each other upon the demise of one. |
Family › Re: Why Men Should Only Do Traditional Marriage by YelloweWest: 7:20pm On Mar 09, 2016 |
lezz: I'll always ensure in making a valid will. There's nothing to invalidate a valid will by a testator.
A valid will overrides all customs and traditions as long as it isn't repugnant to good conscience, justice and equity Ok, still while the validity is being tested in court, what happens to your immediate family? My husband and I bought a property recently where the will was thrown out by the testator kids. Basically testator died in 2011 buried in 2013. He had several children with different women. 9 of the 10 kids agreed to sell the property and went for letter of administration not knowing there was a will. My husband paid 50% of the total sum to them. Only for one of them to say that there is a will more that 4years after the man died! Of course we took possession of the property and the matter is still in court. Do you have any idea how long such a matter will linger? My husband and I have nothing to lose cos we have only paid 50%. The other 50% is somewhere incurring interest for us. If the matter likes let it stay for the next 20years we won't pay a dime more and if judgment does not favour us we can always invoke the indemnity clause and get our 50% back! I'm a lawyer I see cases like this everyday... here it's between siblings, most of the time it's between the widow and her husbands brothers. Is that what you want? |

MsGlobalwonder: thank you! To back up their irresponsibilities. I pity women that fall for such scams. Hehhe. No need to pity! Men with this type of reasoning end up with women who will poison them... How can you get married and still claim "my money " isn't it supposed to be jointly owned in a marriage? Why then does she pack from her father's house to the man place and change her name? It's really sad the way our young men think and I think we mothers should do more in educating our sons about marriage not just our daughters. |

Sunnynwa: People see life from different prisms. Your definition of sanity may not be mine. I got married when I was 18. My husband is by far my senior in age. Even as a teenager I knew I would never be in a marriage not recognised by law! Not just customary law but the constitution law which is apex in Nigeria. Since then I have been through a lot with my husband bore 5kids for him. I have GIVEN HIM MY LIFE!!! Everytime the man I married tells me my wife everything I own belong to you! I bless God for him.... I don't know if you are married or what you think marriage is but I tell you once you give a good woman a sense of security and behave well, you will live a long and happy life! |

A conceited wife can exploit the advantages of a statutory marriage to the utmost!!!! What if your will is contested and thrown out by the court? And even if it is not contested, the native law and custom of your place will be in place till the determination of the court case! What then happens to your wife and kids in the interim? ? |

2good: You don't need marriage certificate to have a will. You cannot get your dead spouse property except they will it to you, hence your thought on marriage and will is flawed What  Then once a spouse dies without a will his or her property passes to the surviving spouse automatically! That is if you are married under the Act. If you have a will without being married under the Act, your brothers will frustrate the surviving spouse with court cases, meanwhile the native law and custom of the man will be in place in till the determination of the court case which will take years... In other words your immediate family is doomed! |

lezz: Well taken point.
Only in Nigeria do couples have to fulfill traditional, statutory and church marriages before a man is deemed to have married his wife in completion!
Complete waste of energy, time and resources!!!
Many men have been lured by their wives into statutory/court marriages after concluding tradition and church marriage rites.
And without knowing the intricacies and legal obligations of court marriages, they have plunged into the deeps of murky, legal waters!
Marriages should be deemed complete after traditional requirements have been completed!
Women pressure men for white wedding just to fulfill their Cinderella dreams!
The more dangerous and daring wives coerce their husbands into statutory marriages as life insurance policies. Yes call it life insurance, provided it works both ways which it does! If you die you would prefer your siblings to inherit your property while your wife and kids suffer? |

Are you aware that should you die without a will or even with a will your immediate family has no protection? And that the native law of your custom which will most likely say that your brothers should inherite your property especially of your kids are still young? I can't believe educated young men are thinking this way! Are you also aware that the law works both ways?? That you are also entitled to what ever wealth your wife has? |

AVRecruit: Many women have turned State sponsored divorce laws into a lucrative business. Find a well to do man or a man with potential, after several years or a decade, file divorce. You get to keep his house, alimony and child support payments, half of ur future income goes to her while she sleeps with other men!
im not sure what the laws are in Nigeria but guys wise up, only do traditional lest u part with ur landed property and union bank shares!
For white wedding just call pastor to pray for u. If you are not sure what the law is why not find out before posting rubbish? Before a petition for divorce can be said to be competent there much be grounds for divorce which must be furnished with evidence and proved! |
