Reason y their women hardly go outside tho d d writeup is not tru...... No 3: wen a married woman commits adultery it affects d husband not d children. wen a woman commits adultery d husband should stop eating her food else he'll die except he agrees to still marry her den d normal ritual. mind u d ritual doesn't entails blood

These taboos and more were pretty much common in most parts of Edo. Until modern Christianity came.
Certainly, a married Esan woman who has a son will mostly likely be VERY careful before engaging in illicit affair. Son and heir in particular danger.

I have come across a couple of ladies who weren't very particular about it until they had a son each. These are even city bred under 30s.

It seems to be mostly relevant if married to an Esan man, and living in rural areas now.
In Benin, if bride price has been paid, a woman ought to know that infidelity would have consequences: danger to hubby & her kids. And her in child labour.

Christianity seems to be obliterating all these in Edo.

Pastor says all have sinned. If you sin and pray to God, go on soun. grin cheesy

What a taboo!
This things are just to keep the people in check not that it has any effect!
For example why should a man be having sex in the afternoon when he supposed to be in his farm working!

3 When a woman commits adultery, she will loose her children and her life as repercussion for the abominable act unless she confesses and as restitution, she is stri*ped completely unclad, a part of her head is shaved, a part of her private part is shaved, one of her armpits is shaved and both of her hands are tied behind her, while a basket full of trash is placed on her head. She is then paraded around the community by other women.

4 If this is not done and the woman goes ahead to cook for her children, her children will die one after the other including her. If she also confesses to her husband and out of love or pity her husband conceals the confession, he will die within a week, if he eats a meal cooked by the woman.
These are also present in Urhoboland. Till tomorrow, Urhobo women married to Urhobo men don't toy with these two.

I'm a man, but I see most of these African laws are made for women. Does it mean men are free to commit crime? Truly women have suffered in Africa, that's why most of them are fighting us men back. Eg is cutting off our joystick, stabbing we men on our sleep. Pls lets love our women.

Looking at the laws, you would think it's only women who exist in the world.A lot of oppression and hatred towards women.

Thank God for feminism and education that has been teaching women that this treatment is wrong and should not be tolerated.

Everyone should be held to the same standards and should be treated equally regardless of their genders!

Not that my sister. It is believed that in most African cultures, Men can marry as many women as divinely possible.. (just as being Gay or Lesbian in Europe n America is ok).

Am not making a case for the men here, am just saying the laws of ancient cheating is when a married woman sleeps with another man that isn't her hubby. But a Man sleeps with another woman other than his wife, he marries her expressly. Catch my point?

Abeg who come be the 1st highest number of womanizers in Nigeria?
introvertious:
The issue of purnishment wen a married woman commits adultery takes effect only if the ritual of dat purnishment was carried out on d woman after their marriage I.e There r things they do to married women after marriage(if ur husband accepts) b4 dat curse can come upon u.

....The husband of a woman who just gave birth must stay away from her sexually for three months as she’s considered unclean because of the after delivery blood she discharges...
Dis is so not true as a colleague of mine who is igbo but married to an esan man went on maternity leave(3mths) and resumed wit 1mth pregnancy though it was only her friends dat knew till d stomach bcame obvious.

Lastly, d 2nd highest number of womanizers in Nigeria are d Esan men..
