Frind d legal perspective, statutory/court marriage is d best form of marriage. In a society whr we have all dis repugnant culturens which are mostly against d women and female inheritance. Some men often make the mistake that if a persn or ur wife asks u to write a Will it means she wnts to kill yu. Same thing applies to court marriage. In some places it is d siblings or family of d man that inherits esp if he has no male child. Who will take care of ur wife and kids if somting apuns to yu? The benefits of court marriage is that where thr r traditions not favourable to ur wife and kids in d event of ur death d court will apply provisions of d law. Dat repugnant cutural law won't apply. Bt if u didn't do statutory mariage and d custom is dat ur eldest bro tkes over ur properties, if he sends ur kids to d village and his kids abroad thr is nothing d law can do for ur wife and kids. 1 Like |

TNX, well comprehensive n educative write up quotee author=Napoleone post=32152013] When couples get married in the registry and when they are issued with the certificate, they will get in the registry, by a licenced place of worship, it has the same effect. As regards divorce, it is only a court of competent jurisdiction that can divorce the couple and they must prove that the marriage has broken down irretrievably. As regards the fate of the children, the court applies the "welfare principle" in deciding whether to award the custody of the children to the husband, wife or third party. The Act requires the court, in awarding custody of children, to regard the welfare of the children as paramount consideration. In other words, the court gives the child to the person that can take proper care of them.[/quote] 1 Like |

Sleekyshuga:I think Chibwike needs to see beyond the woman enjoying his property. How about his children? Don't you think if we close our eyes so a bad person can pass by, even a good person will pass? I repeat, why on earth will you marry a woman you are not ready to share you life, body and property with? Besides, if you don't do court marriage, your family may not allow your children to enjoy your property. I have a classmate that's a complete Orphan and is being sustained on her parent's property. Thanks to statutory marriage. However, if you're the selfish type that doesn't want your wife to inherit your property, it's very simple, just make a will as early as possible and update it regularly. That's all! 1 Like 1 Share |

Inasmuch as I share the opinion of those advocating for court marriage, I also perfectly understand the fears of those who are against it. Marriage is supposed to be a blessing, but some just turn out to be the opposite. I used to be against celebrities who insist on contract, but I came to understand it. Some people actually incite the divorce for selfish gains, in most cases the women. My dream & prayers has always been to marry someone who I wouldn't hesitate to share even my own life with, who would undoubtedly do same for me. But then, Ideal happens to be entirely different from reality. I just learned about the prenuptial stuff for the first time, it's a good way to go. If all things go well, it'll never be remembered afterwards. 3 Likes |

Court .marriage is cheap. In Nigeria court marriage is more or less seen like a charade where all manner of people come to get certificate whether for real or for fraudulent intention. I know a guy who stood in for his brother who lives abroad in a court wedding. In a church wedding you go through a six months marriage class and they issue you both the church and court certificates. So the long run is the final decision of the couple concerned. 1 Like |

Peeps dey fear court marriage, shuo! see wetin property acquisition don cos for dem mind . Seriously though, the choice is dependent on the two people involved; first let us take into account the definition of marriage [you can add yours if you are not satisfied]. Marriage, also called matrimony or wedlock, is a socially or ritually recognized union or legal contract between spouses that establishes rights and obligations between them, between them and their children, and between them and their in-laws. So whichever way you look at it, either from the traditional or legal perspective, something is being established and you are both obligated to follow through while it last. The traditional marriage may seem an easy way out for people that have concerns about the possibility of their 'sweat' being acquired by their better half. The fact is,you all have nothing to fear on consummation of your relationship with your loved one via the court process. Heck, it is even done indirectly via many churches around us. The idea that you hold your wedding in the church does not provide you anymore cover than obtained in an entirely court process. Make your life easy, dispatch those thoughts about your better half reaping from your sweat somewhere you can no longer reach for it,and make it real by keeping it true and legal. i troway salute. |

Sleekyshuga: Please Edit your Topic Head. There is no such thing as "Court Wedding". It is called Marriage at the Registry. The "Court" has nothing to do with it. The Federal Registry situate at Kings Way is Run by the Ministry of the Interior and not by the Judiciary or Ministry of Justice while the Marriage Registry situate at Obalende , share the same compound and building with Eti-Osa 2 is run by the Local Government. 1 Like |

Most churches nw get d licences frm court then seal d marriage in d church.

Sleekyshuga:I think if religious places now have the right to issue certificates that can stand as legally documented paperwork, then no need to over-duplicate things. People should try to be saving cost when getting married. If you don't have the cash to throw around, do the needful and have a hot marriage instead of hot weddings. |
