It is called "ojinoshi" in my place and it is very real.. a late male member of a family who died wihout a male child(heir) has he right to marry in his grave. his surviving wife or his brothers or extended family may decide to marry for him so as to produce male childrn to inherit his estat,farmlands, economic trees, position in community etc.. she is free to keep fornicating until she gets pregnant over and over again..
Fastfoward to now.. i have heard seen but never knew i would ever one day happen in my own family.. my aunt lost hr husband about ten years ago leaving only three daughters (my cousins).. due o political wranglings in my paternal family, it was obvious that her late husband is been shortchanged if not entirely fazed out in he schem of things hence her decision.. she kept it secret and boom.. surprised everybody .. its for real.. the new wife"ojinoshi" bride price has been paid and she is now our wife.(can you imagine)..my mother is even preparing to go and greet /welcome (her).... which kain life sef.. are male children not overhyped? whymust society ostracize widows...? do we not respect the rights of the dead? i dont blame her .. she was forced.. now she will force another wonan to fornicate on her behalf so she can have a right in her own husbands home.. forgive my typos .. i am not happy

Guy, your story is incomplete. What is the name of your community? And in which area or local govt is this custom practised?

What happens to such children whose mother was not legally married to the dead man when he was alive, after they are born? Why do you think children who are conceived 10 years after a man died, would be classified and accepted as the dead man's offspring? Don't think it is possible, though....

do you know that denying the existence of God was punisheable by death sometime ago.. it was called blasphemy.. do not doubt everything.. you are not everywhere so travel and see things.. some tribes share their wives to vistors here in nigeria.. this is my own village here in nigeria.. for confidential reasons i will not disclose the exact place partly because my cousins (late uncles daughters) use android phone and they browse too. if they snoop in here they would id me.. they are in support of their mum pls i am not joking here..

ok.. keep doubting.. i once doubted that i was the product of sexual intercorse between my father and my mother.. i was in seconday school then. i remember arguing with my male cousin back then.. so did it change a thing?

Am well aware of such. The late man's "wife" (who was married in his name after his demise) keep male friends who fathers the children who will bear the dead man's name.

I grew up with some people whose mother was married in that way and she had 6 of them ( 4 males and 2 females) and one need not be told they were all fathered by different men but they bear the name of their "late father" and have inherited his ancestral land.

As long as many traditions place premium on male children, this fornication and DNA mix will not stop.

It is not strange,
She will have kids and those kids will have equal right as if they were the man's children

Re-ea-ally? Wonders will never cease. Sorry, I still find it hard to understand this kind of practice, though. I mean, if some other family member decides to take such kids to court, to claim they are not the dead man's children, and as such do not have the right to inherit his properties, don't you think that person would win??

Some opt for their daughters to have children in her father's house before marriage, praying and hoping for male child(ren)from.her relationship(s) as such son(s) by tradition bear their maternal grandfather's name and have right to inheritance.

Oga, I am not from the east but I am more like one of them. I spent a reasonable yrs of my life in that part of the country. I lived with them in there villages so I know what I am saying. it is neither a bad thing or taboo in areas where it is culturally accepted.

The person will not win because the dowry paid on their​ mother in their "late father's​" name, bequeath right of inheritance to the children.

Some are planned pregnancies, I have worked and lived in many rural communities and experienced a lot.

There was a situation where the only son of the family who lived in Malaysia passed on, he didn't father a child. After the burial, the family decided that one of his sisters​ will stay behind and have children for the family.

Huh?? A father that was not even alive to consummate the marriage? You are kidding me, right?
