As Chinom pointed out, kinsmen tend to disregard every kind of marriage but the traditional one. The safe (and economical) thing to do then would be to first conduct a quiet marriage at the registry, witnessed only by those who need to. Afterwards a traditional marriage may be staged to impress the tribesmen. The cultural ceremony will in no way affect the legal status of the marriage. Where there is any disagreement between the customary law under which the marriage was conducted and the Marriage Act, the statute will prevail. |

ogugua88: I'd hope to only do one. I don't know which is the best, but my preference is a court wedding or a traditional one. The selfish me would love a very small court wedding. The nice me will do a trad and invite people. I'd put traditional weddings above court.Hmmm |

it depends on geographical area,and self perspective..due to the high rate of infidelity,i think court marriage is best option,it put a leash on both partners.. |

ngosayogie: Let's say tonnes of people find themselves i this situation and so they decide to resolve it by doing both (Church and traditional or court and traditional). In our modern age, tradition is turning into something that is more moral rather than being legally binding. So if you do a traditional marriage and no registry, then in the eyes of the law, you are not married...let's say something comes up latter in life and you need to prove your marriage or something, then traditional marriage would not really hold much ground...but because of our traditional heritage, the bride's parents would likely want you to have one (That's if they don't mind, although in rare cases). Church weddings are legally binding just like court weddings because the couples to be need to fulfill legal requirements first. In the days of old what our forefathers did were just their normal weddings which we now come to know as traditional weddings today because then the laws of the WHITE WEDDING AS IT IS CALLED IS A WHITE MAN'S TRADITION NOT OUR TRADITION. EVERYBODY NOW WANTS TO PUT ON WHITE AFTER LIKE THE BEST NOW, WELL, DUE TO ECONOMIC SITUATION IS TRADITIONAL THEN REGISTRY |

Re: Traditional, Religious Or Court Wedding: Best Form Of Marriage by ddeola: 4:39pm On Jul 05, 2013 |
All 3 are good but let's look at their importance. 1. Traditional wedding is the most important because you get the consent and blessings of both (bride/groom) parents. By this you are already married even before God. 2. Religious wedding came with the advent of Christianity and Islam. This is done to solemnised the union or what people call holy wedding so that before the church and God the people will recognize them as couple. Really, in an ideal situation a learned Pastor/Imam will not conduct a religious wedding if you have not gone to the registry and have not received the blessing/consent of both parents. 3. Registry or what some call court wedding is basically to legalize the union and for the children or products of the union to be recognized as legitimate, they can inherit what the parents leave behind,etc My opinion: I think the most important one is the traditional wedding while registry is non-negotiable and if you can afford it because of the society, though it shouldn't be expensive do the religious one too. God's blessings is already on your marriage the moment you received the consent and blessings of both parents 1 Like |

Pls, some people here are saying church wedding is important because of God's blessing. Does it mean that those who got married b4 xtianity was brought to Africa didn't ve blessed marriages? Pls lets be Africans when we marry. Theses nothing bad about it. And we can should sign marriage registry afterwards. And even the traditional/native marriage doesn't come cheap nowadays. |

You try what you are suggesting in other to get reduction in the list of items to present. Just pray you are not dealing with people where the extended family and village heads have a say in what the list would be like.Imagine being married and later your wife is taken from you because your in-laws decided to get cynical with the list of items you would ve to present. |

One has no choice here, Traditional is a must in an African setting, Church is also a must for the christian fateful, while court marriage is optional and either for the stingy ones, those that are so much in a hurry or into what is called "Abuja marriage". Lol |
