The family of woman owns the children, not the man's and she returns back to her family with the children because she was never recognized married. For the man's family to claim custody, they must go the woman's family to pay the bride price.

He was charged with abduction and attempted murder after she died in childbirth?

I now understand why they say young lawyers in Nigeria are unemployed. It is because they don't know their work.

A smart lawyer could have solved this guys problem at half the cost.

Simply threaten the police to sue them for malicious prosecution for those rubbish charges, settle the DPO with 50 k, settle the elders of the community with drinks worth 50 k, and settle the family with a token of no more than 200k after making it clear to them that their daughter was a promiscuous adult. Then you the lawyer can pocket 100-150 k.

Won't everybody be happy?

It's same culture in South-South. If a lady you're cohabiting with dies during child birth you'll have to marry her corpse before she's buried.

I think the lady's family was angry at the guy 'cause usually the bride price of a dead person means nothing. Money won't bring her to life so why demand for 5m?, even 800k is too much. In my place they collect less but you'll do the burial rites. The message in it is don't cohabit so you won't be married to a dead woman.

That's true. In one south south state, in some of its villages, you will even spend the night in the same room with the corpse after paying for the marriage rites.

no, its not selling, its called value. we value our women, u don't treat them like cheap articles. How can u live with someone's daughter and even started a family with her without her parents consent? In igboland, we do not believe in divorce, once married, stays married. moreover, d drink depositing is cheap, so if u cannot pay d bride price, pls do the deposit.

Like my guy paid 500K in Ebonyi?And Noo,I do not believe in not meeting the family and just giving her belle,but I do not subscribe to paying so much because I needed to marry a wife..

And Yes because you don't believe in divorce that means the lady is being Sold more or else and she should not come back expect Death even in the face of Battering..That is so so wrong..

There are so things that should be eradicated in the African culture..A part of it is this..

The dude obviously ran away because of the high bride price..and nothing else.

Wht if it was the man that die with out paying the bride price of the woman nd he had children. So wht will happen to d woman

The woman's family take over his kids.
He doesn't even need to die for this to happen, as long as he hasn't married their mother, the kids from that union belongs to the woman & her family.

No it doesn't. The tradition is only for stubborn men who want to enjoy the benefits of marriage without going through the actual process.

Only few villages in my state mandate the groom to spend the night with his 'bride' though. Sickening and yet many are still living together in Lagos without having done any marriage rites. The high bride price is what deters some people though. In my state, you perform a knock on the door, intro, negotiation before the traditional marriage. God help the man if the intended wife is the first daughter with a good education or has been knocked up, more expenses and goats.

YES! Proudly IGBO JEWS!!

That is the reason why our women with children are legally married to the man who impregnates them and this kind of penance serves as a deterrent to those who only want to cohabit. Unlike your smelly "green-slimy soup" eating women from your wastelands that will give birth to 1 bomboy for one agbero in oshodi, another one for a cultist in mushin, another for a skull miner in Ogun and then will chose to settle with being f*cked under the pedestrian bridges of lagos by touts after selling Agbo and kpomo. cheesy cheesy
