Is Traditional Marriage Complete Marriage? by Nobody: 4:40pm On Aug 06, 2014 |
I'm currently arguing this out with a group and I'm confused on where to stand. Can one carry out only traditional marriage and live throughout his life with that? Or is the white marriage a compulsory necessity? If the traditional marriage is a complete one, kindly state out why. If it is not, do same please. Mods, you can move it to family section if deemed necessary. You're most welcome. Discuss. |

Yeah! White & court wedding are just ceremonial. You can decide not to wed in the church but you must perform the traditional rites on a lady before she can be called your wife....It's in the bible and as a Christian, I always go with my bible principles not trendy principles. Although some say is ok to get a marriage blessing from a priest/pastor which isn't bad 36 Likes |

White wedding is a form of traditional wedding. Traditional wedding we borrowed from another culture. I essence, if you do your traditional wedding and a "white" wedding, you just did two traditional weddings. Any wedding which is blessed by your church pastor(leader) is a church wedding. It does not matter if you wear white(or a gown or the groom wears a 3 piece suit) or not. It does not matter if you have it in church or not(you can have it in a hall and your pastor comes over to bless you with the church's backing) Hell these days, traditional leaders have marriage registers which is domiciled with the Baale, local Oba or an recognised Traditional leader and you go there to sign it which makes it official(They report to the Local Governments) I don't know why people love calling their traditional marriage "engagement" and their church wedding "wedding" it is just weird. When you have something called "Introduction" which is basically an engagement ceremony. 50 Likes 2 Shares |

Marriage is just a piece of paper whether its cultural, legal, white or black. If two people are meant to be together, they will without the need of getting married. 2 Likes |

Your purse determines everything. To know I see no reason doing the three brands of wedding,save if the person is Dangote..I even prefer the tradition marriage,all the church,court wedding are imposed by the whites..if a man hasn't performed the tradition rite on a lady,customarily,he's not officially the husband,this also buttress the fact that tradition marriage is the best according to me,while others are dependent on the buoyancy of the man. |
Re: Is Traditional Marriage Complete Marriage? by iamord(m): 4:23am On Aug 09, 2014 |
Mynd44: Yeah I guess. So but I believe the necessary traditional practice was done.. The registry is just for the sake of getting the cert |
Re: Is Traditional Marriage Complete Marriage? by Mynd44: 4:25am On Aug 09, 2014 |

Traditional marriage is complete because marriage only means when a man and woman agree to marry each other and the two families accepted, but it is not binding under the law that is why a court/white marriage is needed and also for the spiritual aspect of it, depending on your faith/religious belief. 12 Likes |

strangest: It is complete but the only issue with it is that you do not get a certificate to show a bona fide relationship The emboldened above is wrong. After your traditional marriage, you should go to the Customary court within the area where you wedded to register the marriage within 60 days of the marriage being conducted. After registering it, you'd be issued with a "certificate of registration of marriage". This certificate is your marriage certificate and is backed by our laws. I did only traditional marriage and that's what I used to get my wife a UK dependant visa. 16 Likes 1 Share |

There are two types of marriage in Nigeria that is customary marriage and marriage under the act. Now marriage under the act is wat people call white wedding and customary traditional marriage. Now customary marriage is a complete marriage recognised by law as long as the ingredients that makes it valid are furnished and under this type of marriage a person is allowed to marry more than one wife. Now marriage under the act is yet another complete different marriage on its own and under dis type it is one man one wife. Now the legal effect of contracting the two types of marriages as we often see in Nigeria is the marriage under the act (white wedding) nullifies the earlier customary marriage. Question, why do we still contract the two types of marriages? It may be important to note that there is even nothing like church wedding or court wedding people refer to this type of marriage based on the person that joined the parties together both are still marriage under the act. 5 Likes |

strangest: It is complete but the only issue with it is that you do not get a certificate to show a bona fide relationship/ Then you go to Marriage Registry and get one. I tire for marriage matter. Introduction + (traditional + white)marriage + orisirisi....tomorrow when once successful man starts panelbeating his wife, people no go understand say na frustration. Wahala be say people dey use white wedding as a fundraising event. So if you no do, no gifts. Or worse, if you get stingy guests, kasala go burst...straight back to village. \ 5 Likes |
