Adopting a male child is not a taboo, unless it is in your hometown. In mine it's not. Most males in some families are actually a product of baby mamas or separation, their grandad takes them back as his son and they continue as his bloodline hence adopting them. OP; a male child isn't really necessary, unless his culture( from his home town directly) has a way of intimidating those without male kids. Then again adopting a male son isnt also a taboo. He should take care of which ever gender God gives him.. Pastoshizzy: |

I think it has to do with some culture in Igboland about inheritance and people has really bring problem to theirselves because of this inheritance of a thing because you'll go marry a second wife have a baby outside and will cause problem to yourself and family. If we should know that after our date we have finish our work on Earth. If you have only female children write a will and after your date they will inherit your properties. |

Solocoin: I think your will works only and majorly for properties in the cities, and when you have only females. If you have only females and they marry very far, your Daughter might not step foot in there father's village for 10Years because they are either enjoying city life or too busy coming to check things in the village, when this is the situation, village people go just dey cruise the properties or sell them off. But when you have a Male child, the guy will always be in the Village at least yearly. |

Efewestern: Soon Urhobo land, a married woman gets a share from his husband inheritance and also from his father's inheritance? Isn't that unfair to the males? 1 Like |

Igboid: Does a woman gets anything from her husband's inheritance or her kids? In polygamous/monogamous home, inheritance are shared to the kids. If a man with four estates married 3 wives for example. 1st wife gave birth to 6 boys 2nd wife gave birth to 2 girls 3rd wife has no child. The third wife with no kid is automatically out of any inheritance. The first son takes the man's flat. The estate will then be shared equally. The first wife/gate with 6 boys takes 2 estate, the second wife/gate with two girls take two estate. Some families might share three estates equally to the two gate/wives and share the remaining estate to the man's brothers and sisters. The man's ancestral inheritance is also shared with similar formula. So a woman really has no inheritance in her husband's home. Inheritance are shared to the kids. So a child regardless of gender takes from his/her mother's and father's inheritance. Whether this is fair on the males is subjective. First sons also enjoy some benefits. |

Solocoin: Survey no be land document. It's very difficult for you to see a man that has land Document for land for village. Some people get like 50 plots of land for village, inside bush, they don't survey not to talk of having C of O, they just mark the boundaries of the land. So if you give your daughter this land and this your daughter marry for Lagos or PH, watin she go come do inside that thick forest? Abi you know know say lots of people get 100ths of plots for village and the land dey waste? This family self get Male Children when dey even come village ohh, not to talk of say you give the lands to female children when fit know step foot for her father's village after marriage. |

Efewestern: Well a married woman gets lands from his husband to farm on in Igboland. So I guess that's where the Igbo balances the equation. 1 Like |
