Hmmmmm a lesson to all men don't live with a lady and put her in a family way without paying her bride price, you will regret it later, Do what is right in the eyes of God and man!!!
A family of a deceased woman have suspended her burial rites
until her ‘husband’ who she was living with, performs her wedding rites.The woman, Chinyere Mbam, died from a snake bite she
sustained while returning from the wake-keep of her friend, Oge Ogashi.
She was taken to a traditional healing home in the area for
treatment and thereafter back to the husband’s home where she died.Her uncle, Ishiali Ikwe, confirmed her death.But the deceased’s family have mandated her partner, Stephen
Mbam, of Enyi Igwe Village, Ezzainyimagu
community in Izzi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State to carry out her
traditional marriage rites before she is buried.
It was learnt that the woman had been living with Stephen
for three years and their relationship produced a child even though he did not
perform marriage rites.According to the Uncle, the family, who are from same
village, have put the burial on hold until Mr. Mbam performs traditional
marriage on the deceased.He further said that Mbam’s family, in line with the
tradition, have scheduled a date for payment of the bride price to be preceded
by the wedding.
