Hi people,

Just wanted to get some views on this one,

Can someone tell me whether, in Igbo tradition a women must follow her future husbands religion, even though it may not be the right one for them, just because he is the man!   undecided

No. undecided In the old times most men weren't heavy into any religions anyway, the only thing that the everyday man did was to feed Alusi and to venerate ancestors (libation). The woman doesn't have to follow anything according to tradition, it just depends on the husbands decision on how he wants his children to be raised, just like anywhere in this world.
