I guess the said elder brother of the deceased has been trying to bed the woman even when her husband was still alive. Her decline to his plight resulted to this inhumane and degrading practices.

I Just quoted the long epistle to annoy some people.

Law over tradition

Husband: give your wife work, make she dey work and make money aside your own.


No say ah no tell you.

Tribalism Corruption Favouritism and Nepotism has destroyed this country

Isoright

nice one woman all des wicked husband ppl frm edo nd delta na wah

People shld really stop hiding behind tradition and own up to their wickedness cos some traditions are just pure wickedness. It takes a good person to just ignore them

Very inhumane treatments some widows still suffer.
Why seize the husband's properties?No be wife she be or dem no get children?

good

All those idiots that pounce on their late brother's properties and abandoning his wife and children don't usually up well! Men should not leave their wives and children to chance, they should make sure the interests of their wives and children are protected while alive so vultures in the form of relatives don't swoop on them.

So this tradition still exist.

What if a wife happens to die before his husby, will the husby be made to go through this treatment
I'm sure the answer will be capital NO


The archaic barbaric tradition ought to be abolished
It's time we aspire for something beneficial and shun inhuman treatment.

I pray she wins the case against her In-laws. Very backward tradition.

This old and now forbidden tradition has never been beneficial to anyone

Families should learn to over look the properties of their dead brother

They don't even care or know if the money used in putting those things in place was jointly contributed or not

They should rather be concerned of their late brother's children welfare and education

These wicked elders, some of their children are on here but can never tell them any better
Y'all will end up wasted
