I attended my friend traditional marriage yestaday at Orlu in Imo State. It happans that the groom is a born again like they say.. During the "Itu mmaya" ie when the elders will give drink to the bride to search and present who is her husband.. The groom and his church members, insisted that it will only be done with Eva wine instead of the palm wine as the tradition demands... Haba, they drag this issue for more than three hours, you trust the Igbo elders nah, they either use palm wine or no traditional marriage.
Is it right or wrong? As for me traditional rites should be maintained.

Shameful...what the groom and his fellow "believers' did
My father and his people would rightfully boot them out!!!

I would not be caught dead with such a contrary person in the first place anyway
Insulting elders and cultural norms at the same time....how intolerant
Nonsense

He shd've stayed off traditional marriage entirely... It's no longer traditional if it's not done with palm wine
