A man, Onyema
Orji was at the weekend in Nwakpu, Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi
State, forced to ‘officially’ marry his dead wife, Blessing so as to
posses the children born for him by the deceased. Orji had divorced
Blessing on the ground that her mother was interfering in their
marriage, forcing Blessing to marry another man, one Chukwuma. The
former marriage between Blessing and Orji produced children including
twins; while the present union failed to produce any child. Blessing
later died.
But there was drama during the burial when the
first husband, Onyema Orji brought items for her burial and wanted to
take the children born for him by the late Blessing, but was told by
Blessing’s family that he could bury her but could not take possession
of the children as he had not performed the traditional marriage rite
that will empower him to claim the children.
This forced Onyema
to perform the traditional marriage rite on Blessing who was lying
motionless inside casket awaiting the burial. He later performed the
traditional marriage rite and wedded Blessing and subsequently left with
his children.

@rose forget bout tradition... ! that particular tradition is stupid!!.obey what??...well thats for u though...

The
culture was designed for stupid and irresponsible men who have no
respect for the family of their wife. Every family wants to be respected
and the members want you to do the needful traditionally before taking
their daughter or sister as your wife. If you fail to do the needful and
your wife die, then you should expect a similar treatment metted to the
man talked about in the post. Credit to the Igbos. I love the
tradition.

It
had to be done. There is no way to get around this. If you like carry
soldier nothing go happen. He didn't have legit claims to those kids cos
the family don't recognize him. Complain about the tradition and its
backwardness but it is what it is. He can't claim kids he doesn't have
backing over.

Rose, no probs. I understand sometimes what has to be done must be done. Some can be bent around in some cases but not this.
