customary marriage not in the law

You aren't married on customary traditions

Though a wedding and dinner giving away

Traditional tea ceremony to announce to all

In the eye of the law you aren't married

Once you haven't registered as required by law

The couple will have no legal rights when something is wrong

You can't show your customary wedding photographs

With children to support your case...

In the eye of the law

You aren't a married couple

The children will become illigimate

Nothing you can say or decide

Until your marriage is registered

So the law will come to play

A woman shouldn't fall for the game

Registered the marriage under the law
