I would have ignore this tread if you didn't questionably call yourself "GreatResearcher." You even add salt to injury by providing the products of your flawed, misinforming, misleading, and unhelpful "research." Nigeria is a badly created contraption; an apotheosis of British greed and self-fishness. Hence, what you mistakenly conceive as monolithic culture/ethnic group of a hypothetical Delta community/state -- just like Nigeria -- is apparently a product of your fickle imagination.

I think you should state the ethnic group of your would-be wife in Delta state, then you will get the answer you need.

GreatResearcher:
Urhobo.

sacx:
OP are you a traditionalist? Point 2 reeks of superstition. However, point 1 is valid.

jericco1:
I'm a Deltan but I am not understanding this your generalization

1StopRudeness:
If u are staying in a rented apartment where do u want bury ur wife's dead body...in one of the rooms??
And if u by some chance stay in ur own crib with alot of space to bury ur ex-wife...is there some kind of advantage with who keeps the corpse....it's gonna be in the ground anyways...is it not the memory shared that matters and remains in ur heart forever??...

But come first....u are just getting married..why the morbid thinking at this early stage....

Biglittlelois:
Cc.onesentence

GreatResearcher:

I will be gettin married to an Urhobo girl in few months time. I made enquires about Delta and their marriage traditions. I was told those two things I posted earlier.
Am not interested in No1 bcus d marriage is not forever. We will seperate few years after wedding. What am concerned abt is that No2 and if there's any other thing one should we weary of..

GreatResearcher:
Have u ever heard this statement 'Look Before You Leap'?

gloria34:
Separate after few years? Hope she is aware of this? I would like to know Ur reasons tho, thats if u Dont mind

GreatResearcher:
She's fully aware of it. It's a contract marriage which is meant to last for few years.

1StopRudeness:


lookimg before ur leap is fine...but What u are looking into seems really wired....I may understand that Nigerians are a bit superstitious hence the need for ur number two research...

.but number one creeps the hell out of me...it's a bit too early to start thinking about the death of a woman u about to get married to....let alone how and where she's gonna be burried......mayb it's just me though

DMerciful:
At Op,if you want to marry pls do, if you don't want then don't!
Whatever you're looking for you will find!
I'm from Delta and married to a Delta btw

Nixiepie:
I'm from delta state isoko to be precise, this tradition is only applicable to people who are Of the same ethnic group, and yes is very potent from where I come frm

GreatResearcher:
Does ur tradition allows divorce? Who goes with the baby after divorce.? Am told bride price will be refund.

GreatResearcher:
I'm about getting married to a Delta girl in few months time.
So I made my research concerning Deltans, their cultures, marriage traditions etc.

During my research I discovered:

1. When a Detlan wife dies, she is not buried in her husband's place. She is buried in her father's place.


2. When a Deltan wife cheats on her husband, her husband's businesses fall.


Pls I need to know more about this tribe. Someone here help me plss..

abiolamitodun:
