The lady might be right in her own sense, but I think it is better for every man to write his WILL while still alive to avoid story that touches. However, my sister don't rear your head in this matter 'cos surely your brother's wife hand may not be totally clean about the demise of your brother and it is even looks clearer that she has been unfaithful to your brother before his death.

How does her co-owning business with her deceased husband translate to their being some sort of inheritance for her from the man? Are all business auto-successes or something? huh
Has your Mum been informed of your views as to not owing her anything?
If not, desist from commenting on family matters.

I know a lot of you will call me all sorts of unprintable names and would want to nameshame me.

My Elder brother died about nine months ago and his wife is about to Remarry.

They had been married for ten whole years, but unable to bear a child for 7years, until God blessed them with a beautiful and lovely baby Girl. We all celebrated and were joyous. A few weeks after childbirth, my brother became sick. What initially looked like an ulcer became something else, and he had to go under the knife. After the surgery, there were some Terrible complications, which resulted in his eventual demise. Most painful part was, he had just landed his dream job after five years of graduation. He was extremely depressed as a result of this joblessness until luck smiled at him. He was traveling round the world like he was going to his backyard. He was breezing in and out of Nigeria for official duties until the sickness struck.
Now it's been nine months, and she already made her intentions known to my family that she wants to Remarry. Meanwhile, the baby is just two and half years old.

As a woman, I understand how lonely and traumatized she is. I perfectly understand what she's going through but myself and my family feel it's too too early for this. We, her late husband's family didn't and have never interfered in her dealings. All my brother's properties are in her custody, the Businesses they co-owned are all in her care.

I thought she would have waited a bit much longer to do this, considering how much she seemingly loved her late husband. Meanwhile she's 38yrs old. Her parents have told her to wait for some time, but she wouldn't listen. But before making her intentions known to my family, we already suspected that she was seeing someone else, going by the way she was acting.

I'm now the next in command in my family after my elder Brother's death, but I'm also a woman and have limited powers. Even if I had all the powers, I still wouldn't be Able to stop her from doing what she wants. After All, she's older than me.

I'm really pissed now as she will be taking my niece to live with another man. She's marrying a man who already has two wives, making her the third.

What should I do?
I understand how you feel but women/men have the right to remarry within minutes from losing their partner. She’s probably already sleeping with the man so it’s better she gets married. What if she’s pregnant for him?

I think the lady is mad. Why the hurry? Can she not mourn her husband for a year?
Going to be a 3rd in a new marriage is insane. I only sympathize with the innocent little girl who will be brought up in a polygamus home.

Her husband will also want her to get a DNA test. After the DNA test she can move on.
Husband that was jobless for 5 years out of 10 years marriage and was just employed before his sad and unfortunate demise.

Let's say she is not the daughter after DNA, what now happened?

Men do DNA to avoid training someone else's child... The young man have passed away, if he is not the father, let the real father take responsibility.


See, this issue is simple. The sister don't want to let go of her brother memory and she feels the daughter and wife can remain and carry on his legacy but that is just fallacy.... Women can leave a man just because he is not rich enough (he is not broke, just not rich enough) and move to another man while the man is still full of Life... Now imagine a woman leaving a literally dead man.... That is normal Monday.

Men, take care of yourself, don't die because, don't even be broke because the world we abandon you instantly.

Sorry about the demise of your brother.
Honestly speaking I think is better for her to remarry then to be mingle with someone.
We were created differently at this point of her life she need someone close to her as ages are not on her side (she need to have more kids before she reach menopause)
In a nutshell don't consider this as an act of disrespect towards your late brother.
In my religion wife is free to remarry after 4 months 10 days of her husband demise.

Instead of stopping her over what she has made up her mind with

You guys should leave her do what she wants

If it comes out good or bad, that's her luck

You can't actually stop a moving train

The best your family can do is to ask her to keep the child with you people so that she can be free and that she is free to visit the child and she will be responsible for the child education and welfare

. Simple question! In Nigeria, many previously married individuals would rather abandon their children from other relationships with relatives when going into a new marriage. What I am asking is, do you want the woman to abandon her child with your family when getting married to the new man? If yes, then rather than suggest she not get married at all, make her the offer of caring for your niece while she goes off to have herself a beautiful new life. Let her ruminate on the suggestion and decide whenever she is able to. undecided

This is a sad story, she is 38, to find man is not easy and her biological clock is almost expired. Its not what she wanted to be a 3rd wife . She most certainly would have preferred to be with her deceased husband. Wish her the best
Its normal to feel sad in this situation. Losing a brother and his wife remarrying , even if she remarried 10 years from now , you will still feel sadness. May God heal your pain
