The family of a deceased woman has suspended her burial rites until her ‘husband’ who she was cohabiting with performs her wedding rites.
The woman Chinyere Mbam was been bitten to death by a snake while returning from the wake-keep of her friend, Oge Ogashi who passed on.
She was taken to a traditional healing home in the area for treatment and thereafter back to the husband’s home where she gave up the ghost when she could not respond to the treatment.
Her uncle, Ishiali Ikwe confirmed her death.
But the deceased’s family have mandated his ‘husband’ Stephen Mbam of Enyi Igwe village Ezzainyimagu community in Izzi local government area of Ebonyi State, to carry out her traditional marriage rites before she is buried.
It was gathered that the woman had been co-habiting with Stephen for three years and their relationship produced a child even though he did not fulfill her marriage rites.
According to the Uncle, the family has put the burial on hold until Mbam performs traditional marriage on the deceased.
He further said that Mbam’s family, in line with the tradition of the land, have scheduled a date for payment of the bride price to be preceded by the wedding.

Awoof dey purge belle, u chop awoof for three yrs now you have to pay all service charge. God forbid this kyn thing for my life o cos na to enter the next available bus to Ghana.

As a man,you must be heartless to take another man's daughter into your home and start putting her in family way.

This goes out as warning to all those guys living with their girl friends as wife when they haven't legally and properly married them. Some even go as far as getting them pregnant and having children.
As long as you won't complain to the world of injustice when you end up doing the 'proper thing' post mortem.

Olohun ma je!!
