Are you already worried about the legality of your marriage at Ikoyi registry?  Well, the Federal Government says all marriages done at registries across the country, including the Ikoyi Registry, remain valid.
This clarification comes after reports yesterday surfaced about its invalidity due to a Federal High Court ruling.
The judgment reportedly said all marriages conducted by registries were worthless and unconstitutional.

It adds that there is an existing court judgment which empowers the government to conduct marriages.
