A friend of mine is about to wed without his parent consent. The reason for his action is that the wedding must be done secretly to avoid delay in child birth as revealed to him by a prophet. Is his reason justify his action?

As revealed to him by a prophet? I think that is stupid. Ordinarily, I would say that Parental consent does not necessarily protect a marriage from infidelity, divorce and all the other problems that many marriages suffer. However, since a prophet is involved, I would suggest that your friend get his head checked, and fast.

Not generally ideal, but sometimes one doesn't have a choice.

No! Its not ideal but in reality when one can't help it...go ahead. Is d prophet ideal?

I just hate [b]stupi[/b]dity of boys going into marriage. R u sure it's because of prophet or the boy no get money dey use that as excuse?

Park parents consent for now.

What is not ideal is your friend's mental faculty.

A few hammer blows might fix it sha.

Depends on the kind of relationship one has with his/her parents...
However in this case,it makes no damn sense!!

That ur frnd thinks marriage is lyk som stupid old bf/gf stuff or abi na hit and run. Tel him 2 bulshit that nonsens prophecy and think about his future life.

not ideal, but sometimes such is life.

Not ideal but it happens. in the first place, you did not tell us if his parent are against him marring that lady! Some prophets are liars oh...hope say no be the girl arrange the prophet..hmmmm I smell a rat..

Hopefully your friends girlfriend will not go with this silly reason for not letting her parents know about her wedding.

Which kyn prophet be this?

Depending on the situation.

If it's the prophet, rather than his parents, who conceived and birthed him, then let him disregard his parents and follow the prophet's orders.

Who is a prophet? And what qualifies one the be a prophet? Just asking o..... It beats my imagination when folks can't realize it that u can't plant Yam and harvest Corn, Verse-versa. Stop believing bullshit and do what is conventional.

Like its been said by many, its not ideal but sometimes you got no option.

As for your friend OP, why do i think he's going to regret his actions? A prophet ke? Hmm he must know nothing about such so called prophets.

@OP
How old is your friend?
I think they both needs the parental blessing. And if her wife conceived and give birth, the same force that might want to hinder her wife from conceiving can still kill the baby!

Tell him to put his faith in God and not gods

80% of women marry against their parents' and family's wishes under the typical excuse of following their minds; nonsense! Most have gone to regret it or in regret now.

IT Is wrong!!

@BOLDED: You sounded so harsh, that this is Africa where we see our religious leaders as been closer to God and hence we always want to adhere to their direction so no need to abuse or use derogatory word(s).
Peace

May be the Prophet is indirectly trying to label the parents witches/wizards. Even if the parent may be seen as such, the Prophet should be able to raise a standard against it.
If the Parents are not aware of the marriage, this could give them the extra leverage or any other person to perpetauate evil. (if them pour drink for ground, hmmmmm na you sabi ooooooo).
ThREAD CLOSED!

you kind of said my mind,please you must involve your parents in your marriage oo,they have to bless the union first before any other thing follows,moreover in most tribe in Nigeria,the bride's parent will hand the girl over to you in marriage and both couple then marches to church 4 the completion of the ceremony,so Mr man help me ask ya friend...who handed the girl over to him?...or im go steal pesin pikin(pikin wey i mama carry inside belle 4 nine month n suffer train) wan marry am by force,na waoooo,i no get wetin i no go hear 4 ds nl

Ask your friend how many things have the prophet told him which come to . prophet self gö chop.

u or ur friend is being overzealous. the prophet wouldnt have said ur parents are part of the crowd. in cases where potential couple had been foretold to avoid making noise, that doesnt include their parents. in such cases, only the close relatives and clerics makes such wedding cos parental blessings is key

Acidosis: IT Is wrong!!

What is wrong?

What else did the pastor tell you

So being African is now an excuse for f00lishness?

NO!

No,It isn't.. but thats just my opinion, I feel like in order for your marriage to be successful/work you need your parents

blessing. But like I said that's just my opinion, it isn't backed up by any facts.
