An igbo lady should please help with the details on igbo traditional marriage. Thanks!
Marriage or wedding ceremonies among the Igbos of eastern
Nigeria is not much different today to what it used to be 100
years ago. A wedding is called “Igba Nkwu” in traditional Igbo
language, and it an affair that joins two families and villages
together, not only the man and the woman.
In the olden days, parents contract a marriage affair on behalf
of their son or daughter – a couple with a marriageable son
visits a family friend or another couple with a marriageable
daughter and asked for their daughter to marry their son. But
today, a man is free to bring home whoever he chooses or a
lady whoever she chooses insofar the parents approve of the
other.
In simple steps, below are the ways situations that take place
before a marriage is perfected in Igboland:
i. A man sees a lady of his choice and opens up his mind and
intentions to her. If she agrees, they begin a discreet dating
affair that must not be made so public.
ii. The man then intimates his parents of his desire to marry
the particular lady, and the parents inform the entire family
who investigates the lady’s family to be sure she’s from a
good and healthy family.
iii. The man together with his parents then visits the parents of
the lady, who entertains them with drinks and foods until the
evening. Then parents of the man or their spokesman clears
his throat and reveals the reason for their visit to the family of
the lady – to marry their daughter who is identified by name in
case they have several marriageable girls.
iv. In some villages, the parents of the lady might call her out
and ask if she knows the suitor and interested in marrying
him; and in some other villages the parents of the girl will only
understand the purpose of the visit and ask for time to speak
with their daughter.
v. Before the next meeting which might take weeks, the
parents of the lady would have investigated the family of the
suitor to be certain he is from a good and healthy family.
vi. On the day of the next meeting, the family of the man
comes again to the bride’s family who says they have
accepted the offer of marriage; and then lists out the bride’s
dowry and other items that must be presented for the wedding
to hold.
vii. Some of the items demanded by the lady’s family include

- The bride dowry (Ika Akalika )
- Kegs of palm-wine
- Bottles of gin, wine, spirits
- Kolanuts and bitter-kola
- A goat or chickens
- Bags of rice
- Tubers of yam
- Crates of soft-drinks
- Packs of stockfish
- Bales of traditional cloths or wrappers
- Jewellery
viii. A day is fixed for all these items to be brought to the
family compound of the lady. The numbers of yam, drinks,
chicken, or other items vary from village to village. As soon as
these items are submitted and accepted, then a wedding date
is set.
ix. On the day of the wedding, there is feasting everywhere
and friends and family and villagers from other places come
to attend the occasion. A gourd containing palm-wine (Iko ) is
given to the bride to be handed to her husband who is seated
among the guests or crowd. She looks out for her husband
even as distractors beckon her to bring the palm-wine, but she
declines and hands it over to her husband – kneeling down.
Then is the marriage perfected.
x. In some other villages, they may require the bride to hawk or
sell a tray of sweets or boiled eggs or other trivial items
among the watching crowds and visitors to show she is
industrious and would be very helpful to her husband in the
home. This may precede the palm-wine giving ceremony to
her husband.
xi. In some communities, they practice the “Idu Uno” where the
bride’s family visits the bride’s new home some days after the
wedding to present her with household items such as cooking
utensils, bed-sheets, boxes, sewing machine, bed, pillow
cases, plates, clothes and other things newly married couples
need to start a life and family.
