A man has married the corpse of his late wife following his inability to perform her traditional rites when she was alive in Onitsha city in Anambra State, eastern Nigeria.
The marriage attracted many dignitaries from both the couples’ families, friends and well wishers last Saturday in Onitsha city where both family reside.
The couple lived as husband and wife without payment of her bride price or dowry and had six children before the wife fell sick and died.
Thereafter, her family insisted that the man must marry the corpse by paying the dowry and returning the six children they had before the deceased would be buried.

Hmm... This is why I always advice my fellow ladies and guys not to live together no matter the condition especially if not married. Its a pity that some traditions are still functional despite their achaic nature.

the bible never abolished traditions, the man got what he deserve, can u imagine impregnating a girl six times without thinking of paying her dowry, my brother that is abomination even in the eyes of God.

yes its true but I wonder if it was him who went to live with the lady or if he forced her to leave her parent's house to come and stay with the him. Desperation can also lead to that.

Where else
