It sounds impossible but it is true. Two beautiful sisters are actually married to the Oba Ewre of Benin.

Thing is, in the Bini culture, the Oba is the next in hierarchy after the Bini god so no one dares say no to his amorous advances.

The Oba was already married to the elder sister when the younger one came visiting in the palace. He saw her and couldn’t let go so he made his advances known through royal emissaries and since it was a taboo for a single lady to say no to the Oba, the girl’s parent accepted the proposal and that was it. He married her even if he had three other wives including her sister.




Talk about tradition and what it allows!

The sisters seem to be happy though, it doesn’t look like it’s hard being with the same man, it may just be you seeing it as weird because they obviously don’t see it as such or they could be good at hiding their feelings though.


What do you think? What weird tradition do your people have and do you find this particular culture interesting?

Women don't have sense. I have said this and I will say it again

A man is expressing 'his innate desire' and you're blaming the women for agreeing?

Vortex369:
Men have been fuccking their wife's sisters from time immemorial but none dared to put a ring on them.

Congrats to the Oba for exposing the weakness of men and showing the trappings of traditional stools as a weapon of control of masses.

A very crazy and lustful Oba I must say.

DIKEnaWAR:
Stupid culture! Why can't a woman say no to an apparent philandering goat with a super appetite for sex? Is that a culture?

We are quick to mention culture when it caters to our excesses, but denounce it when it tasks us to be better.

Idontgiveafuck2:
WILL SHE HAVE AGREED IF THE OBA IS POOR?

Magnoliaa:


We are talking about a realistic situation here, not an hypothetical one, plis.

Idontgiveafuck2:
WHY CANT SHE SAY NO WHEN THE IDEA WAS BROUGHT UP?

Magnoliaa:


For (a) reason(s) I don't know of. Go and ask the girl.

Idontgiveafuck2:
THEN THE PERSON YOU QUOTED WAS RIGHT AFTEALL.THE GIRL NO GET SENSE.BLAME HER AND NOT THE MAN

Magnoliaa:



You missed the context of my response to him. A man is allowed to marry as much women as he desires, right? A man is polygamous, it is in his nature. If women start saying no and are refusing advances, how will the man express his full capability?

For a man to marry 20 women, they all have to say yes. So, is this woman agreeing to the Oba's order not helping to spreading your "rights?" Why is she senseless. She's helping you all.

Idontgiveafuck2:
THEY ARE SIBLINGS FROM THE SAME WOMB THATS WAS WHY HE MADE THAT STATEMENT.

ReneeNuttall:
Look how happy they both are.

Magnoliaa:



mtcheew. Shebi you're inside his mind now.

Idontgiveafuck2:

Magnoliaa:



Depends...
