I am a Yoruba Muslim but I have attended a lot of Christians friends' weddings, so I would like to ask.

Is it biblical for the pastor to ask if any third party stands against the Union of husband and wife?

And if anyone should say they stand against it, would the wedding be void and the marriage will not take place, I mean is that the end?

What is the significance of the third party, I mean why should it matter what they think?

MaxInDHouse:


Why did Abraham insisted that His son mustn't marry among Canaanites? Genesis 24:2-4
Why did Isaac and Rebecca got upset when Esau marry Canaanite girls? Genesis 26:34-35
Why did God insisted that Israelites must not marry among the Canaanites? Deuteronomy 7:3

Back in Bible times the only way to be certain that both spouses are good to go as husband and wife is when both parents consented to the marriage. So the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have laid the foundation to question any marriage alliance that's not built on solid foundation.

Veecruz:


It is. Deuteronomy 25:1

The marrying official is become a Judge and the venue of the marriage, a Court Thus, The Law and Court (God's Law called Natural Law and it's Court) wants to be certain that all righteousness (conditions precedent) have been fulfilled before granting the approval of marriage.

TenQ:

Are you saying that the culture of asking if any one have anything against the marriage union is found in the Bible? I want to learn: can you show me from the scripture?

MaxInDHouse:


The God of Abraham, Abraham himself and Isaac his son all objected to marriage alliance with certain people so it's SCRIPTURAL to be sure if anyone is ready to OBJECT to a marriage proposal.

TenQ:

To, who then according to the Bible will ask the question? Can you show me the verse?

MaxInDHouse:

God set the standard so His representative will be the one to make sure those getting married in His name are called to order.

TenQ:

So, you are following traditions of men as you cannot find a single scripture to back up your assertion!

MaxInDHouse:


Is it where the standard was set word for word that you want or how scriptural is the heritage?

Before Moses there was no written law that says:
"you must not sleep with another man's wife"

Yet Joseph refused to sleep with Potiphar's wife.

WHY?

Because the tradition says the wife must be one approved by the parents.

So if you feel the tradition Abraham passed on to Isaac which was passed on to Jacob is men's tradition then there's no need claiming you're one of Abraham's seed. Galatians 3:29
We do have a rich heritage as God's people! Isaiah 54:17

TenQ:

In other words, it is a tradition inherited from Adam and Eve? SMH!!

MaxInDHouse:


You hate to be corrected when you err!

What has Adam and Eve got to do with this?

If scrutiny regarding marriage was from Adam will people be commiting fornication and adultery?

I showed you how the tradition started from Abraham the first human to object to marriage alliance with people who don't share his belief, as at the time Abraham objected to marrying from Canaan can you point to where it was written that the patriarch should do so?

Ọmọ if you truly want to learn humble yourself and learn, scrutiny regarding marriage started from our father in the faith (Abraham)

So whoever finds fault with it is not one of his children by faith! Galatians 3:29

TenQ:

If the tradition did not originate from Adam and Eve, tell me who the tradition originated from. At least, there is no where God Commanded such in the Bible.

MaxInDHouse:


God commanded it in the Bible book of Deuteronomy 7:3~
"You must not form any marriage alliances with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons"

How else do you want it to be written that God raised OBJECTION against some forms of union in marriage?

It originated from His friend Abraham {James 2:23} when he made his slave to swear that the man must make sure that Isaac never marry a woman among the Canaanites! Genesis 24:1-4

If you're waiting for where God said it word for word then you're not ready to learn because there's nothing to learn when something has been written plainly all you need is just to read but we learn when knowledgeable people substantiate matters!

TenQ:

The spirit of argument has possesed your soul.
Are we speaking of God's objection or man's objection to a wedding!?
Have you ever seen where during a wedding the clergy says
"Oh Lord, Do you have any objection to this wedding?"
"Speak or forever keep quiet!"
I don't have time to waste on you

TenQ:



Deu 25:1:
"If there be a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked."

As I know, wedding celebrations is not a controversy : is it?

Veecruz:


It is! Because 2 persons are laying claim to each other so a most responsible and respectable witness present at their union has to ensure that there is no controversy or dispute in ensuring that the couple is validly married as witnessed by all who know them.

TenQ:

Are the bride and groom having a controversy here?
No!

Veecruz:


But a responsible person has to check to make sure that there is no controversy from any reasonable quarters about their joining, for when they are marrying the community and world would be affected.
