Can One Marry His Sister-in-law?? by ebner70(op): 9:41am On Oct 25, 2015
Guy comes to your house and marries your sister, then you fall in love with his sister, can you return the favour without traditional or religious issues being raised?

Big NO

Sister in law.. Take note of the word "sister"

We avoid certain things not because they are wrong but to avoid complications later in the future

This Mr OP is one of such, just like I cannot even think of marrying in the same family with my sister

So wiered!!!!!!

What if the family is so nice and the sister-in-law is such a wonderful person?
Ur sister-in-law is not ur sister naa, no blood ties, she is only your sister by law

I can only advice you to relocate to China because that's where such laws are practiced

Set of twins from one family sometimes marry set of twins from another family...don't they. So what is the difference?

@ ebner70, do whatever makes you happy. That union might be complicated though especially when arguments/disagreements happen.

You have to be wise.

Firstly she's not your sister in law, her brother is your brother in law however.

Yes you are within your rights to marry her. No incest or taboo.
Re: Can One Marry His Sister-in-law?? by armyofone(m): 10:53pm On Oct 25, 2015
I was wondering too. No blood ties, why not.
Just move far away and live your life.

Re: Can One Marry His Sister-in-law?? by JudgementHammer:
Apart from religion and culture sef. The 2 marriages are prone to scatter-strophe.

Bcus after having ur hubby and wife bedroom meeting, there will be another unavoidable brother and sister family meeting where ur bedroom meeting secrets will be scrutinized and discussion of what the other family might be planning.

My dear that's politics with no impeachment. U go regret say u enter am.

Since you have two kidneys can you cut one boil it spice it up and eat it.if you can't eat it no matter how tasty it is knowing it's coming from your body then tell me how having attractions for your sister in law is sensible

Why is this an issue! You love her, she loves you, get married by all means sister in-law or not.

Agreed.

Some cultures permit it. I think some parts of igbo are more flexible in this regard, but for a lot other tribes, its a big No-No. In urhoboland, you can't even think of it sef let alone try to carry it out.

Personally, I don't think it's wrong; jst that my subconscious will tell me she is 'family' while i'm planning to make a move. And by d way, aren't we all related; somehow??

In my place (I'm from Ovu close to warri and Agrara-oto(maternal) ) and a lot other urhobo villages I know of, its a taboo to marry an in-law, whether the inlaw is a close one like a brother-in-law or distant. My mum used to drum it into our ears growing up.
