We are a bit far, I'm planning to take her home first week of December that's if I later agree on their plea then return back to my base

The choice is yours. Provided you are married to her legally, you have the first right of access to her and vice versa.

If you were not informed before the marriage of such traditions, do it only of you think it makes you comfortable otherwise, you can choose not to.

Your wife should stay with you not even her family she's allowed to go to


Man up and insist your wife won't come

Are your in-laws Christians? You have to been careful Mr,before they go and dedicate your child to a strange deity…

What if you and your wife lives abroad,will they ask her to come over to give birth….

Esthered:

I delivered with my husband in Benin but ran after 10 days to Lagos to be with my parents.
E dey sweet you as it's your first but if na only 2 of you, it wouldn't be easy o.
I was happy I left as I had enough support from family.
There's a enough time to bond with the baby.

Didn't your mother come for Omugo?

Justkatty:
I heard some culture practice it...that when it's time to give birth, she must go back to her family and deliver,then stays for few months, when it's time for her to go back, the husband brings things to the family to appreciate and goes back with the wife.
Dear op it's a simple thing, just make sure she's not taken to all these native places to avoid complication.
I believe it's just a matter of 3months, she'll be back to the house BUT ensure you visit often to ensure all is going well.
I wish her safe delivery.

I reside in Northern part of the country while the parents are in east

Hedgefunds:



Did you marry from EDO...seems it cultural.

Nope bro Anambra

Pharaohny:



Ok answer this question if you were to reside in another country , UK or US will they ask you to book a return flight all cos of unnecessary tradition, Secondly if there daughter were to be married to a white man will this tradition still hold?

oyaaaa

MS247:

My MIL came and took me to Lagos to be with my mum.

wow
Distance barrier
Okay just a quick one
You can get someone that is close to the east, someone trustworthy to help in checking on her even though it's once in a week to make sure everything is fine.
But the stress though
All these are things you guys would have talked about during courtship but anyways nothing spoil you're a good husband, I give it to you.
Don't worry mummy and baby(ies) will be fine.

Maybe their house is a hospital that is equipped with the state-of-the-art facilities in modern healthcare. If not, what degree of see finish is this?

Op, I will advise you look around for people from your wife's place and ask them series of questions concerning their various traditions. Though you ought to have known all of these prior to your marriage to her.

I have met a lady that says they have a tradition in their place where every first child of the first daughter must be brought back to her father's house for certain traditional rites. I asked why and she said failure at which either the child will die prematurely or encounter misfortune in the future. That when she arrived with her baby, she didn't enter her father's compound straight. She stopped at the gate of the house with her baby, her father and the elders met them at the gate, performed some traditional rites on her baby before allowing them in. Afterwards, other things were done and a party was organized to welcome the child properly into the family and the community at large. Never heard of such a tradition before.

If it's their tradition, please let her go as requested, but if it's not, just invite your in-laws to come over for omugwo.

When the Bible says 'give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar, this might be one of those things.

I wish your wife safe delivery in advance.

If they insist, let her go, you can't love her more than her parents.
