Yoruba weddings losing tradition to modern trends - Anthropologist

A cultural and social anthropologist, Dr. Felix Oludare Ajiola, has expressed concern over the growing disconnect between traditional Yoruba marriage values and the influence of globalisation.

Speaking on the backdrop of a viral video involving Priscilla Ojo’s wedding scene, the lecturer and researcher of African History and Development Studies at the University of Lagos, described how colonial and modern influences have reshaped what were once deeply rooted communal rites.

“Traditional cultural values that underpinned marriage ceremonies in Africa, especially among the Yoruba, have been eroded by the wind of globalization and modernity,” he told Legit.ng.

He explained that prior to colonial rule, the family was central to every stage of the marriage process:

“Among the Yoruba, the Ebi (family) moderated virtually every stage of a relationship – from betrothal and courtship to resolution of marital conflict.”

“In several African social formations during the pre-colonial era, courtship and the concomitant marital ceremonies were strongly supervised by the parents and the communities.”

“Generally, marriage to which the mutual consent of the relatives and community of the principal parties were sought with payment of bride-price was not conducted without the presence or approval of the father or male representative of the man in the case of a deceased father of the bride.”
