What Is Wrong In Marrying From The Same Family With My Brother? by Coolcash1: 7:46am On May 24, 2015
i have a male friend who has found love with the younger sister of his elder brother's wife but his parents are against their relationship. They claimed that it's not ideal for two blood brothers to marry from the same family. When he sought for my opinion I told him that I don't see anything bad with it. After all, is not your brother's wife you are in love with.

However, I have decided to share this ongoing burning issue on this platform to seek people's opinion about it. Perhaps, if there is anyone with similar experience and how it was handled to share it.

Well technically there isn't anything bad in it but superstitiously it is believed something bad will happen to either of the couple ........and sometimes because of the believe in the superstition it comes to pass,hence his parent's fears

anywhere your love is, we should go for it if you are ready to face the challenges. no big deal marrying in same family with your brother if not for "Africa mentality"

there is nothing like superstition that will come to past bro , its just our believe in Africa.

give it a trial if your family isn't against it and you will see the out come.

no bad omen guiding such situation

This was the same point his parent were making but I beg to differ. History has shown that most of these things are myth and there is no empirical evidence to back them up.

I agree,I do not think he shouldn't if he wants to but remember where thought goes energy flows,they just need to be aware of what they are going into and be ready to work it out

Yes, it is our african believe, we love it, we abound by it, it is wat makes us africans, the fact that we are africans makes us unique in our own way. We must not be follow follow people.


If u still think it is a stupid superstitious belief, why don't u consider marrying your brother or your cousin, I bet other part of the world which we believed are more advanced than us does that.

Culture is the peoples way of life, that is what differentiates us from other parts of the world.

PROUDLY AFRICAN.


As for the op, if ur parents are against it, please heed to their advice,no be only that family waka come jare.

@Chigozie, no body is marrying her cousin or niece here. Is a case of affection between two in-laws.

you have your point bro.

but do you think we Africans aren't following other peoples culture?

the situation on ground is about choice making, cos I see know reason why I can't marry from same family with my bro.

if the both family accept, the case is solved not any Africa mentality or culture.

the cloths we are putting on today is our culture right ?

I rather believe the guys that went 'superstitious ' than this reason

@ op, I see nothing wrong with that. On a lighter note, they will give you guys discount on the marriage list and bride price unto customers grin

I was expecting to hear that.


What I am saying is dat we have to be who we are, we don't have to do certain things because others are doing it. He can as well go ahead and marry whoever he loves.


Were I come from,there is a certain kindred our kindred cannot marry(we are in no way related either by blood or otherwise, history just had it that we can't ) but I ve withnessed in not less than 6 occasions were some of us became so stuborn,my only pity is that it is only the lady dat will die after giving birth to d 1st child and d man automatically becomes retrogressive. I never believed superstitions until I withnessed certain things. Our parents know better,why not obey dem @times.


Btw.bros, u can go ahead with ur marriage preparations. All I am after is dat we have to respect who we re.

I also stated in my first comment that if the parents aren't against it, it isn't a bad idea.

They are not related by blood so there is nothing wrong with it scientifically and morally.
