INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER ONE

In this contemporary time, the issue of choice of life partner (s), mixed marriage or intermarriage has become an issue of strong debate among Nigeria Christians. Generally, Christians’ attitude towards mix marriage is not encouraging. Some Christians forbid intermarriage drawing from 2 Corinthians 6:14 which Say: “Do not be mismatched with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?” Some other Christians believe that anyone has the freedom to choose his or her partner for life, and that love has no boundaries. This attitude is found most often among those Christians who may be identified as progressive or liberal Christians. This is supported by 1 Corinthians 7:12-14 with the central sentence: “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband”.

In explicit terms, some Christian denominations do not allow their members to marry from other denominations. In other words, within Christianity in Nigeria, Christians discriminate among themselves in choosing marriage partners. For Madu (2001) the reasons why some churches do not allow their members to marry people from other churches are to protect the faith and doctrines of their respective Christian ladies most of whom remain unmarried only because they are waiting to marry people who are of the same faith with them.

Indeed, efforts are being made to abolish this inhuman practice of caste system in the name of religious faith and belief. The church is in the front line to make sure that people marry whomever they want to. Unfortunately, the church is still stigmatizing member’s choice of marriage and more so, when it comes to choosing partners outside their denomination. Many Churches also maintained that during courtship, partners should abstain from sexual union/ intercourse since marriage centers on holy sacrament. Indeed, among denominations that are unassailably bent on endogamy are Catholics, Deeper Life, Assemblies, Jehovah Witnesses, Cherubim and Seraphim while others are liberal exogamists (Lasswell, 1990). They try their best to let followers know that to tag another human being created by God sub-human is an abomination before God and a sin. However, as much as the churches canvass for the end of this system, their parishioners speak from both sides of their lips, for while they condemn this caste system in the day time, they hide to discriminate against the people at night. How then could this system be abolished when there are lots of hypocrisy and betrayal on the matter from some people who call themselves Christians?
