It's tradition, but in the absence of a father, I Don't see anytin wrong with a mother walking her daughter down the aisle. My both parents are dead and after the funeral, "extended family" kinda dint give a damn abt us. When I got married, my elder bro walked me down the aisle. He's just 5yrs older than I am.

Is just a tradition tin, afteral who say father no fit bath babe for omugwo. No b osuofia way llllaaaaaf July 3, 2012 at 11:11 AM
It just has to be a man. Reason being that giving away refers to giving your daughter to a different man entirely to take care of for the rest of their lives. In the absence of the father, the man giving away is basically a replacement and is regarded as the father. No strings attached. Your lust for arguments is highly distasteful.

A man walking tell sell his daughter down the aisle shows he has given his consent for the marriage to go on as the highest authority in the family. I believe tell sell women aren't allowed to do that when their husbands are absent because she doesn't represent the highest authority tell sell in the family(Just my thought) July 3, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Who says they don't? Some kolo oyinbos ask their mothers to give them away. Except you mean in the Naija context. The man is the protector and rock. You bear his name and he's giving his daughter away to a new family. The father is transferring ownership of his daughter from him to the groom. Bride price is paid to the father & in the absence of the father, it can be the brother or even an uncle. It's always a male. Age long tradition of a woman being the man's property.

I've tell sell attended weddings were both walk her down the aisle... But I believe there should be a bond between a father and his little girl...a protecting and cherishing bond like she is a precious stone... tell sell so who would be better to give her over to ANOTHER MAN.

The Man is the head of the home, his absence doesn't mean that his lineage is extinct. Lindo, is that your problem? when the time comes, plead with your Dad and see if your Mum will even agree to take his place. Your Mummy's part is to come for Omugwo and collect all the collectibles while giving you tips on how to collect more! July 3, 2012 at 11:41 AM
I desperately wanted my mother to walk me down the aisle because my father had passed away but she totally tell sell refused. Said it was a mans job and I wouldn't allow any uncles to walk me down the aisle since none had contributed a penny to my upkeep. We finally settled for my brother. In my opinion women are stepping up to the plate and doing a mans job of taking care of the family they should definitely see it as their right.The privilege belongs to the one who has been responsible for your upkeep and that is most mothers nowadays http://godalwaysshowsup.blogspot.de/ July 3, 2012 at 11:45 AM
Why can't d girl walk herself down d ailse as she found d guy herself.Linda pls stop being shallow.next u ll ask why can't d children bear d mother's family name after d death of d husband.pls read proverb to see the role of a man en woman in d familu en d community except if u don't believe in d bible. Ur life en ur speech shld inspire tell sell others not makn pple wonder abt ur intelligence. If u like don't post my comment na u sabi at least u ll read it July 3, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Firstly, is a man's world. tell sell Secondly, the lady answers her dad's name not her mum. Thirdly, its the man's duty (can a man do omugwo)... Fourtly, its tradition (ask ur mum, she too was given out by a man). July 3, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Says who? White wedding is the whitemans' tradition and I have seen white mothers walk their daughters down the aisle alone if the father is late or with him if he is alive. Our own in Africa is to carry other people's thing and start over doing. My mother raised me alone and she will walk be down the aisle. Anyone that dosen't like it can stand up and leave so the rice can even go round better! July 3, 2012 at 11:55 AM
The father hands his daughter over to her husband to be to show a sign of acceptance. He i
