Inter and intra tribe marriage

Blessed morning to you all, as we all know that marriage is instituted by God that is marriage is ordained by God and it has been a practice since the beginning of earth which means it is everlasting. No matter the kind of marriage you do marriage is marriage once it is the coming together of a man and a woman.

Nigeria is a country blessed with many tribes but the common ones we are all aware of is Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa which happens to be the three major tribes in Nigeria. Many families are against their children marrying from other tribes because of the culture differences among them . Many don't cope really well when they go into marriage with a man or woman from another tribe which later ends in divorce. Even the people of the same state don't want their children to get married to another person who is not from their local town and that has been the bone of contention these days in our society. I am from kwara state, Ijagbo town to be precise but my parents keep hammering it into my head not to marry someone from other little towns around my town and I kept on wondering what the problem is oooo😮😮😮😮😮 as if that was not enough I was given list of some states I shouldn't marry from and they are Yoruba speaking state too, it was then I sat down to think of what the problem is.

Many homes are on fire because of the in-laws from other tribes, the husband or the wife might not be the problem In some cases but the extended family that is the in-laws. But while brainstorming I don't think there should be problem with intra tribe marriage because once it is a solid foundation rooted by God all should go well. I have an uncle who got married to a delta woman in fact two of my uncles did and they are living well, I have an aunt that got married to a Hausa man and the marriage is going well with beautiful kids although the culture might have bring disagreements in their marriage but they have learnt to love, tolerate and endure each other's excesses.

Inter marriage

I think this is the one we should look more into. Inter marriage is getting married to someone who is not from your country. For example a Nigerian woman getting married to a Switzerland man that is a catastrophe because they have different culture, different mentality, brought up in different ways, in different countries with so much differences in them. Am not saying it's bad please don't misquote me but I'm trying to say it will take them longer time to adjust to each other's believe before they can have a smooth ride in their marriage. Many are in marriages with an international spouse and they are living fine but the percentage of fights and argument will be much than that on intra marriage.

In conclusion

Getting married to someone you love is the most important thing, don't be forced into marriage. If you are not ready please take your time. It is an institution where you do matriculation but no convocation so therefore you must know what you are getting into to have a wonderful marriage. Both intra and inter marriage is good if you are with the right person.
