slimmy05: You may call it anything but the fact remains that legal wedding puts the couple in check. If you like spend 1Billion pounds on a tradional weddng or legal wedding it does not changethe fact that both of you can still dissolve the union but the only difference is this. 1. In trad wedding,a man can decide to drive you out because the food was too salty while dem no born you well in lwgal wedding. 2. In trad wedding you can sack that lady or man one time because you woke up one day to realize you dont like that face again and probably in lust with another but in legal wedding you must show the world why you have suddenly gone bunkers. 3. In trad wedding,a man can boot you out if he feels he is so rich and wants a new lady in the house despite the fact that you struggled together to make tgat wealth but in legal wedding dem no born im papa well except he wants to spend 7 good years behind bars with that new caro. The bottom line is that if you must dissolve a legally contracted wedding,it must be hinged on sound grounds like marital infidelity,irreconcilable dfferences,desertion of matrumony for three years and some other good reasons and not the crazy baseless reasons you can hold on to in trad wedding where the bride price is refunded and thats just all as if the lady was a purchased item. The only sad thing is that many ladies or guys are still ignorant of the power these documents have and many are still treated like shits despirte the legal wedding they had due to family complascense. They will tell you. Haa,leave him for GOD, haa,font botther taking him to court,just pray for the spouse that will be yours permanently,we dont know what GOD is using this to do,maybe it was never meant to be bla bla bla and the woman or guy juat bone. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Toks2008: First of all, I'm sorry about your situation. But it's no 'super story', my friend. Every story cannot be the same. And yea, people do change, change is constant so everyone should expect it. But it is also very possible to manage that change and if possible flow with it. And if you truly think you can't work it out, then... But I've also observed that most times, people overlook certain behaviors their spouse exhibit before marriage hoping they'll magically disappear after walking down the aisle. I'm not saying it was the same in your case though. 1 Like |

filiks: In my opinion,all these are sermon on the mount. My point remains that getting a marital insurance wont hurt. You never can tell bro,some guys are wicked while some ladies can be clueless irrespective of what you think they can do,always expect any unpleasant surprises,human will forever be human. As for my situation,no nothing to be sorry for because to me,she is still fooling herself Until she files for divorce or wait for three years which ofcourse does not deter me from moving on since she was the one who left on her own. These are the check and balances a legal wedding puts in place and this is why its a necessity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Toks2008: Pls, pls and pls, stop misinforming the public. Who told you with traditional marriage, you can just wake up and sack your partner. So, you don't know traditional marriages are registered at the local govts? The problem whether with these marriages is that majority of Nigerians are ignorant of their rights. Do you know even even cohabiting with a partner within a certain period of time automatically makes the law recognize you guys as husband and wife. You should try and read up the common law. To legally dissolve such a union, the court must affirm that the marriage has become irreconcilable. Give majority of our people 1000 marriage certificates today, most of them would still be ignorant of their rights. 1 Like |

Sweetlemon:Traditional marriage is recognized by law, ask a divorce lawyer if in doubt. Meanwhile, you can get the traditional marriage certificate from any Local Government Office. Do proper research next time before you begin to think of documents that you would use to share another man's property instead of working for your own or to ask for rights you are not priviledged to enjoy. Na your type dey marry 9 times in one lifetime so that you go dey get properties from A, B, C,... to I. |

Toks2008: My guy, the real marital insurance is for everyone especially our ladies to start making their own money and stop wishing their husbands dead because of material acquisitions. Imagine, a lady already getting ready for her husband's death when the marriage has not even been conducted. Tufiakwa! |

Blebleswag:U dont have to wear a gown, its better to either register for customary marriage or have a court wedding. Too many women who only enter into customary marriages are being neglected by their husbands. Especially those who go after overseas after the wedding, they will go on an marry a foreign woman under civil law. As a woman only married by customs and rites what will u have to show for your marriage? |

Re: The Growing Trend Of Men Shying Away From Court or White Wedding by Nobody: 7:25am On Oct 06, 2014 |
2sExy1:being deeply rooted in your tradition and culture sounds like a very good idea until your husband goes and marries a foreign woman under civil law, after all its only food and clothes he left for you and your parents. You will have nothing to prove thay your have any rights to your matrimonial property I say home-based Nigerian ladies should shine their eyes, this is happening all over the world. Men just abandone their wives they married according to customary law, goes to a foreign land finds someone more beautiful than his wife, goes and married her and after 3yrs of the other woman thinking she actually has a husband who will one day come back home to her, she realises he married another woman in a foreign land and has kids with her. My ex had a friend who left his wife in Nigeria whom he only paid bride price for and went to Cyprus to study, a few months (not even a year imagine) later he was cohabiting with a foreign girl, next thing he was flaunting the new babe everywhere. They made plans to to formal introductions, then get married (white wedding) soon after graduation. While this one was at home thinking I'm the only one because we are married, "hubby" was making plans to wife up another woman before the law Don't get me wrong i love my african culture, but people have abused it, and it usually is to the disadvantage of the women and children unless the law intervenes. The OP emphasis is not on having a white wedding ceremony but rather having a marriage you can actually prove to exist, thats way matrimonial rights can be determined, there are too many legal uncertainties in customary rites and usages. 1 Like |

2sExy1: If you marry a girl now according to customary law, then she travels, lets say to the US for work. She finds another guy there but doesn't disclose to him that she had a traditional ceremony back home. She falls for this guy and they have a court wedding. You do know so long your marriage is not registered you wont be able to prove it? Her husband decides to adopt the child you guys had before she left, you know you might not be able to win that custody battle if the guy is more resourceful than you are right? 1. You will not have solid proof that your marriage exists. 2. You will not be able to prove that the child was not born outside wedlock 3. The child would be better off in a stable home with 2 parents who live together rather than living with one, who claims he is in a marriage he cant prove exists legally 1 Like |

slimmy05: No be fight o,relax.I dont ever expect many Nigerian guys to support legal wedding especially the ones with randy and deceitful tendencies. And in-case you think its all about a woman sharing your wealth think again. A woman who commits adultery and is legally divorced does not get a dime but if as i wrote before, you just decide to maltreat her for a new caro or she files for divorce based on some good reasons then you will face the music. Nevertheless, its not for you to opt for but the lady and if because of frustration and desperation for a lady to get married she waves it then she is doing that at her own risk.

Toks2008:Stop playing to the gallery. In a marriage where everyone makes and contribute their own quota to the development of the family, you hadly hear of all these nonsense. Tis always a situation where 'monkey dey work, baboon dey chop. Let our women quit being materialistic and ignorant and learn to know their rights even within the traditional settings.

mayorkyzo: You guys will never cease to amaze me and by the way, what is all this confusion about white wedding and registered wedding? Registering your union is totally different from the money wasting non biblical and non cultural white wedding and if you must know, document signing is biblical, its called ketubah The main purpose of the ketubah is to prevent a husband divorcing his wife against her will, which, in talmudic times, he had the right to do. The knowledge that he had to pay his wife her ketubah would serve as a check against hasty divorce. Here is an image of how a ketubah looks like 1 Like

OrlandoOwoh: I never said that the certificates issued by recognized religious bodies do not have legal backing, did I? Of course not, because that was NOT the issue in question and that is obviously indisputable. What I said was that a marriage which is contracted by any other means apart from the recognized religious body route or the marriage registry route (i.e. some form of customary marriage) is still valid once it has been certified as being so, usually by means of a sworn affidavit in my experience. That is what I said. |
