Court marriage is a statutory marriage. Refreshments is not part of it. It can be a private affair |

ariesbull: Please stop giving wrong information. i married over 10 years ago there was no parent consent, unless the law has changed. What is required on the marriage registry form is the details about the couple's parents- name,age,address, occupation etc. Marriage is expected to be between 2 consenting adults not babies why presence or consent of parents. Registry is not church, nikai or customary marriage which require family involvement. All you need at the registry is just 2 witnesses , therefore only 4 people could be at the wedding. 15 Likes |

At OP, I like your style. After the wedding comes the marriage: the daily life. Far more important. Court marriage is probably better. You get your legal documents. Better when processing documents like visa and such. The world is shrinking. If in a big city, do the registry bit and go to a cheaper part of town for a small reception. Like a nice restaurant. Done and dusted. 5 hours is too much sef. By the way common law and customary law marriages are legal too. When dowry and or other local custom has been followed and both families have agreed, it is valid. The family court will consider such marriages as valid. Only that one party can claim that the marriage did not take place properly since no legal documents to prove it. 1 Like |

cricifixo:ok. But who will collect her bride price and is it like i will just drop any amount as bride price? Will there be need for me to get other lists as demanded by her tradition? Lastly the traditional marriage, since nobody wants her to be with you, will u guys still perform traditional marriage ceremony? |

arabaribiti: Marriage without dissolution of the first marriage is an offense - bigamy. Let the man approach the court to dissolve even in the absence of the woman. The law allows such dissolution after certain no of months. |

@op, even the 150k is too much. You probably are not going to buy more than 2-packs of canned malt drink... Go marina, count buns at cheap price, you can mix it with small cakes. 3packs of bottled water... If you like you pay for bigger cake to take pictures with... With this you are done. Go home and have enough sex and fun... 1 Like 1 Share |

People should say what they know and stop musleading or discouraging others. So long as you are 18years and above, no parental consent is required. All that's required is two witnesses, one for yourself and one for your wife to be whom can be anybody including your friend. And as many other witnesses who will not sign as your budget can carry. Two passports each of you are required to publish your intention to be married, after 21 days and noone come around to give reason why both of you should not be married as husband and wife which few of the ground it can affect the union is if one party is still legally married as of the time of the of contracting the new one or having an undisclosed health challenge which the Petitioner thinks might affect the other party etc The price is for Court Registry Marriage is between 10-30k depending on the Court Registry. As for your 20 guests, if you take them to a fast food joint for reception after the brief marital vow where a plate of food is #2500, 50k will take care of that. It must be on a working day Monday - Friday. Saturday and Sunday are out of it. Legally both party are protected equally, but upon separation or divorce, property are to be shared according to each others contributions to itself emergence. Even when one party did not, a consideration is given to him/her for providing the peaceful atmosphere or psychology for its emergence. This is only applicable if one party appeal for them. Some might say they are not interested in most cases depending on what leads to the divorce. And the ground for divorce include - adultery, threat to life, undisclosed serious health challenge etc which are also probable ground for divorce in a church wedding. Most Church issued Married Certificate is not acceptable in most Embassies unlike Registry Certificate that's acceptable everywhere. The choice is yours. The most important thing is to study your wife character and attitude well and make sure she is a good person. If your wife is the type whose only interest is your property church wedding /traditional wedding might be a better option. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

fados4sure: I am confused about the difference between local government registry and court weddings. Is it not the same thing? I want the legal experts to clarify this. Please get your facts right before we end up miss informing people. I got married over a decade ago in a church but got a local government registry certificate not even the church certificate because we registered the marriage at the LGA and the certificate was released to the Pastor and we signed it during the wedding. My wife and I have used this certificate to travel round the world and for our permanent residency in another country. 2 of my family members got their EU papers with LGA marriage certificates. There was no need for parental consent when we filled the forms. I have legal consultations before my wedding and there was nothing like court wedding but LGA registry wedding. I have never met anyone who had court wedding. I know court only dissolves marriage after irreconciable differences between the couple but not to wed. 6 Likes 1 Share |
