You're quite right.

Insisting on statutory marriage precludes the existence of trust and faith.

It negates the very principles on which marriage is built.

I have never endorsed statutory marriage and will never.

Very true and court marriage is even worse.I sure as hell wont agree if he tells me he wants a court marriage.As if he's envisioning disaster and a terrible ending from the beginning.

Fairytales:
are you sure you are a female?

I am a female...any problem?

DemiGoddess:
I wonder o,for me I prefer a good old tradional marriage with ALL the rites carried out,white wedding will be for formality sake;because my parents will insist.Court marriage is a bloody NO.I'm a very traditional person and I feel blacks are quick to accept the white culture.I'll have a white wedding but I still think the most important thing is keeping my marriage.Wonder why an african woman will be thinking about the possibility of divorce will signing marriage papers...uwa mmebi!

there are times a marriage certificate is needed in proof of marriage for certain transactions.

You can't be certain of that, fair one.

That's true, especially in embassies and certain work permit abroad, but then, couples can opt for it when faced with such necessities.

you see, it good to put all these into consideration before saying an out right no. Apart from the extra expenses incurred, there is nothing the man should be worried about.

As for demigoddess, i'm just pulling her legs.

I still won't do it. It is still unnecessary. By the way, statutory marriage is cheap, a couple can procure one with less than a 100k.

But the issue is it's a whole different matter opting out of it, ---even if both couples want to .

Remember, it can only take a high court to grant divorce plea except in IMO state.

And , I think it gives women so much underserved and unmerrited rights in matrimony.

I don't know how they statutorily wiggle there way into giving magistrate courts the jurisdiction of entertaining disputes in statutory marriage.

Although the jurisdiction of magistrate courts in Nigeria has been recently reviewed and given greater scope as courts of first instance, but it still doesn't carry the powers of divorce in statutory marriage.

And it's fücking expensive to initiate court proceedings, lawyers charge extra.

It isn't worth it.

I can make do without the church/white wedding buh nt with the court and traditional wedding. If he insists on no court wedding then the relationship will have to be cut short.

even if you love him and he meets your criteria?

Fairytales:

Just advice couples to say away from court/ statutory marriages, it's a borrowed culture.

It doesn't stop divorce, neither can it guarantee fidelity.

It makes the atmosphere of marriage tensed and suspicious.

The West have already started prenuptial agreement when they saw the sheer folly of it.

Any woman who fell out of love with the husband could easily kill him off to acquire his estate just as easy as walking into an open door.

Lazy gigolos would be conniving with silly wives and telemundo addicted wives to acquire their husbands hard-earned money.

Simple solution, leave a Will behind.

Court/Statutory marriage is a no no for me.

Any lady who insists on court marriage has got a scheme that doesn't include the hubby on the brighter side.

No girl insists on court marriage if the hubby is flat out broke or struggling.

If you check most homicide findings, in the West, you see couples kill couples either to acquire the estate or not having to pay for divorce and alimony settlements.


Back to Nigeria, every Nigerian woman is predisposed to fall victim to the sweet talk of thieving pastors, prophets, seers and fortune-tellers who tell her what she wants to hear.

Add that to the number of exes who can ignite her dying fires and you're looking at a potential disaster, once people start appreciating the benefits of court marriage.

Hahahaha ok o
