I Want To Get Married, But My Parents Don't Like The Girl by munas: 3:45pm On Dec 19, 2017 |
Hello people. I have a very good friend of mind who wants to get married,but his dad and mum are kicking against his choice. The guy's dad is from edo state,while hos mum is from Abia state.All well educated and they attend Catholic church. Now the girl in question is from Anambra and attends penticostal church. The parents of this my friend sad he should not married the girl because Amambra women are not good and she is not catholic. This guy has convinced the girl to move to catholic and she agreed,but the parenst are still saying no. The mum even said she will die if he goes ahead and marry the girl. My friend really loves this girl and he wants to marry her. Any advice on how to go about this? 1 Like |

Some will say marriage is between you and your partner and your parents have no right to interfere. That may be true, but what an elderly person sees sitting down, a child may not see while standing up 83 Likes 5 Shares |

Tribalism will not take us anywhere. Let him kindly tell his parents that love knows no bounds. 25 Likes 1 Share |

And you say they are educated?! ![]() Anyways, I think the guy or your bf should sit his parents down and have a heart to heart discussion with them as a man. They complained about her church, now she has agreed to become a catholic.......what else do they want? He should be sure she's from a good home and let them know. She didn't make her self come from Anambra. He should make them understand that tribe does not determine one's character or personality. He's the one that would live with the girl or you, for the rest of his life, not them. And then again, he should really ask them their reason, cos there could be something they're seeing and he's not. Cos all they complained about to me is no good reason! #Tribalism and Religion has dealt with us! 54 Likes 3 Shares |

MicheyJ1:Will you stop this nonsense!? Who mandates Parents' consent for mutual blissful conjugation of two adults? Cases where one of the bride or groom is an orphan,Where does he/she then solicit consent from? Bitter truth is,our parents are human as we are and as such fallible for very petty things such as tribalism or religious inclinations.Ours is to rectify it by defying their ideas or paying NO attention. Tell your friend to go ahead and marry her. . . That's if it's not even you. 125 Likes 5 Shares |

[s] thesicilian:[/s] Lies brO!, Big Lie!! What is it they saw that they can't tell their son, what? Did they come from the future? I'm an Igbo man, but I must tell you this, when it comes to religion, marriage, helping and business patnering. The igbos aren't that united, they do invite tribalism inside a tribe(within themselves) Don't be surprise his parents reasons might be a result of a dealing they had with anambra fellows in the past. Bleep whatever they are seeing while squating or shitting. Africans needs cleansing. 68 Likes 3 Shares |

Jochabed:To even think the guy's mom, an Igbo woman is kicking against an Igbo girl is surprising. What would she have done if the guy brought an Hausa girl? ![]() I think the parents have hidden reason(s) for kicking against the union and they feel their boy is too small to let him in on the know so they are using denomination and tribalism to cover up 5 Likes |

If she's willing to spend the rest of her life fighting her in laws , fine. Go ahead. If not , ask him to let her go because eventually all the fighting would wear him down and one day he's gonna have to choose sides between his wife and his family .most often than not, the family wins 18 Likes 1 Share |

African parents try to exert way too much power. Well, if I'm the guy nobody can stop me from marrying the lady of my choice. It was this kind of song my mom was singing initially, my elder bro heeded to her and married from her place..... The lady is currently showing her Shege. Like my bro doesn't seem to be they Way we knew him to be. The other day she (my mom) was confessing to me how she was never going to interfere in my own marital plans. In fact my current Gf n by God's grace future wife is from the very place she never wanted. My point is, it's not always about the place but the person. However, the above doesn't hold true for a lady, seeing that she's going into a famil unlike the man.... 21 Likes |
