The Question is, Is it complusory to have a traditional marriage? The answer No! Nigeria has two legal binding agreement between two consenting male and female, that when carried out, they will be viewed as husband and wife 1: Customary marriage act, or so-called traditional marriage, What constitutes customary marriage? (1) Dowry demanded by the bride family, which is negotiable,and accepted paid in full, by the bridegroom's family, (2) The bride is handed over to the bridegroom,his family or his reprensentative. (3) Bride's immediate family consent may play a role, to enact this marriage, Umunna or umuada's consent is not neccessary. (4) This marriage act maybe conducted or held at anytime of the day, even at midnight. This marriage gives room for polygamy and polyandry. In summary. Bride or dowry makes this marriage acceptable as contracted, if they bridegroom present,s kekenapep to private jet, this doesn't count. Parents consent may play a role, Umunna or Umuada or any group that may arise consent is null and void, Where the bride or dowry was paid doesn't matter. 2: Statutory marriage act or so-called low or high court marriage, in summary A: Dowry or brideprice is not neccesary. B. Parental consent does not matter. C: The two persons must be of marriageable age.D: Does not admit polygamy or polyandry.E: A twenty one days public notice must be posted, at the expiration of this twenty one days notice the marriage shall be enacted within or not more than 30days, and a marriage certificate is issued. Under this marriage act, the woman and her children is protected under the inheritance law. IT IS NOT NECCESSARY to conduct or have these two types of marriage, they are all honorable before God, and man 1 Like |

COOLDUN: I am Ibo and I was talking about my traditional wedding. This is not hear say. It happened at my traditional wedding and no need for insults. As for the things you say never happened in the past, like cannibalism, I can only speak for Ibo land because that is the one I am aware of and for your information, everything I said here is from real life occurrences that happened to me or someone close to me. |

depends on the tribe....i have heard cases of where women were chased out of their matrimonial home after their husband died because there was no traditional marriage (even after court and white) which makes the woman not to be recognized traditionally as a wife to the person . i think its the most important of the three considering that i have seen so many couples who just had traditional marriage only and nobody disturbs them. |
