After Reading These, You Will Agree that Nigerians Play it Smart to Have A Court Marriage.

    Right from history, court marriage just like a form of marriage for people who wish to marry secretly,  however in this compuper age, it doesn't matter especially in Nigeria, if the husband and wife to-be will welcome the support of their families on their marriage or not,  or may be, they even plan to have a secret wedding or a public one, or whether they care to have a traditional or church weddding, yet it is still left for some people to wonder for the reasons why Nigerians still go ahead to have a court wedding of  a type.
        

      Here in this piece, certain reasons have been collated and will like share so that those of you still worrying about it to will have a relief after reading through the few points below:
1.            It Is So Cheap
   Getting married at the courthouse can save you...
hundreds if not thousands of naira, and just because you get married at the courthouse doesn’t mean you still can’t have a reception or a small gathering at a nice restaurant afterwards. It cuts down on the cost of having a big guest list, invitations, and other items.
2.             There Is Little or No family Objection
   Sometimes when family members object to a person’s spouse and swear never to support or attend their wedding, the court wedding is sometimes the only other option. As long as you’re an adult as recognised by law, all you need is to invite two witnesses.
3.            The White Gown Tradition
    Getting married at the courthouse means you can feel more comfortable to wear something that isn’t a white gown. Brides have no choice when it comes to white gowns in church weddings but a bride in a court wedding can wear her favourite ankara dress and everyone is happy.
4.             It Is The Fastest
   The good thing about getting married at the courthouse is how quick it is and that it gives you more time to run around the city and have fun as the process is fast and precise.
5.             It Is Also Stressless
   Sometimes planning a big wedding with a long guest list can feel overwhelming, especially when you feel the need to please everyone but with court wedding, you only have to invite a few close family members and friends and after the registry session probably just head out for a small reception somewhere. When you get married at the courthouse you can save yourself a whole lot of headache, tears, and even an argument or two!
6.              Well Secured
   The court wedding protects both the man and woman but especially the woman. Some Nigerian men can be very polygamous in nature but the law states that if you practise bigamy, the punishment is five year imprisonment.

      Note: Bigamy is when you go ahead and marry someone else when you are still married to the person you married in court.
