“Having kids and living together without paying dowry is not a family,” Pastor Faith Oyedepo

The wife of the general overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel International, Pastor Faith Abiola Oyedepo, has taken to social media to condemn cohabiting couples.

On her Facebook page, she claimed that living together and having children without paying a dowry is wrong.

She believed that establishing a successful family began with getting married.

She wrote;

“Some couples have been living together for years and even had children together without a legitimate marriage: no dowry has been given, and they haven’t had any kind of an official ceremony this is not right. Marriage is the basis for the family; if you must enjoy a successful family, then you must first be married.”,”
