Nigerian Marriage & Culture Marriage is one of the most important social customs in Nigeria. Marriage gives an
individual respect and status, and therefore many single people are pressured to
marry. Marriage is also viewed as a way to make one big family out of two families
Family Roles
The majority of families in Nigeria still have men as the head of households and the
division of labor within the household is gendered. In traditional families men are
farmers or other types of laborers, while women may work in the home and help
out with the harvest.
Large families are quite common in Nigeria. The majority of the population
cherishes children as part of their culture and so most families will have between
four and six children. Reproduction is so important for most Nigerians that it is
considered to be the main function of marriage.
Polygyny, the most common form of polygamy, where husbands have multiple
wives, is still practiced in many parts of Nigeria. However, divorce is so frowned
upon, that even if a couple doesn't practice polygyny, a woman may still be very
forgiving of affairs.
