The peculiar nature of the Igbo traditional marriage rituals, which are fundamentally communalistic, have remained in conflicting terms to the understanding of Christian marriage in Igboland of Nigeria. While Christianity emphasizes the individualistic contents of marriage, the Igbo customary system recognizes the ‘communal ownership’ of the wife. The kinship structure, as drawn from the ‘alliance theory’ and the manner it endures through the marriage ritual in Igboland, gives meaning to communal ownership. The social relationship between the ‘wife-giver’ and ‘wife-taker’ in an environment of communal bond of exchange strengthens the affinity on the one hand and guides against infidelity and promiscuity on the part of the woman. The major interest of this study is to evaluate the impact of Christianity on traditional marriage rituals and the consequences of its influence in maintaining conjugal relationships. The study was carried out through qualitative and ethnographic research designs that provided insightful and detailed narratives of the study. The implication of this study is to understand the increasing marriage ritual interactions between Christianity and Igbo cultural heritage and argue that the coming of Christianity in Igboland, instead of being perceived as the agent of ritual destruction of Igbo heritage, should be viewed as using the already indigenous ritual practices to suit with the timeframe of Christian rituals. This is because those rituals in question could also be seen in Christian rituals that have implications for collective responsibility.
