Marriage is a union between man and woman. Now, in the aspect of bride price. Please I want to ask who wedded the first man and woman? Who did the first man pay bride price to? Where in the bible did God say before you marry a woman pay her bride price. Yes I know the next thing in your mind(Exodus 22:16-18) but we are misinterpreting it because it says says " if a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and lies with her. He must pay the bride price and she shall be his wife. Bride the daughter of Jacob that was raped they begged that they should pay her bride price for defiling her. Abraham gave his servant gift to go to his kindred and get a wife for his son and that is because he is wealthy Bride price is a penalty for rape. And people who do wedding ceremony are people who have enough to through around. The most important aspect of marriage is the two people agreeing to be husband and wife. All this argument of court, church and traditional marriage is all the same. The exact thing to do is seek the consent of the both family once they give their approval . you are already husband and wife.you can add by going to a court or church for other ceremony which should be optional. 1 Like 1 Share |

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.For religious belief do you support white wedding? |

Meristem:Even in the scriptural days, once a man offers/pays the bride price of a woman with her consent and the consent of her folks, and her father/guardian/kins hand her over to the man, their marriage is VALID and BLESSED before God and man. Its up to them to decide to solemnize in Church or not. THEY ARE ALREADY HUSBAND AND WIFE MIND YOU. I understand why it is hard to sell this to my fellow Christians , but its the Truth. You're absolutely correct on the above 1 Like |

kensbabe:Bride price is scriptural but it all boils down to the family of the bride. A dowry, sometimes called a bride price or bridewealth, was a payment made by a man as a gift to the family of a woman he desired to be his wife. In Genesis 29, Jacob loved Rachel and offered to work seven years for her father, Laban, in exchange for her hand in marriage. This is one example of the ancient convention of the dowry. Don't forget Isaac's father gave his servants some gift to give to Rebekah's family. In fact wedding is incomplete with the dowry payment and consent from the bridest parents. Every other weddings are ceremonies as there's no scriptural backing for them. |

Every other weddings are ceremonies as there's no scriptural backing for them Those churches forcing members to do church wedding should cite scriptural verses from the Bible to back their claims on white wedding. They shouldn't ostracized their members for not carrying out church wedding or do court wedding. In fact I advocate anyone that best suit the couple provided the bride's parents have given consent. |
