Back
then when my mom was warning me not to go that far when our relationship started She kept on insisting I should go for the girls in my tribe, I thought she was just been a tribalist bigot. If only I had listened

She bore me a son, he's 3years now... though her people knows me well from normal visitation..but I haven't been able to pay her bride price yet due to the hardship this regime has on us. life happened, unfortunately she got sick since February, ever since then from one hospital to another..I took several loans from people for hospital bills to the point of me looking sick myself.so sad for us we lost her last night.

I informed her elder brother who knows about all thats happening, he called me back this morning to tell me that his people told me to be prepared to marry her corpse. He went further and said if I don't pay her bride price, my boy will be taken from me and I should be ready to withstand the consequences.
I was surprised, I called for the burial arrangements not for a marriage ceremony

I blantly told him, I won't, why would I get married to her corpse. He was angry and cut the call on me.

Am more concerned about my son, please lawyer's in the house do they have any right to take my son away from me?
Even if they do am ready to give it to them, but spending money to Marry her corpse I will not.

I only brought this here, if had chance for my son whose still in my custody.


Sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in Peace.
I want you to listen/read with an open mind.

Look at this from a different perspective.

You won't be marrying a corpse if you paid the bride price. Instead you will be paying a debt you owe her people. They won't bring the corpse there. You can also get your family to do it for you.

In life you must think win-win and not just my way or nothing. See things from the family perspective. They can't burry her if her bride price has not been paid. No matter state of the economy, if you make up your mind, you can negotiate a settlement for the bride price.

Lastly, you will be doing this to honor your wife even I her death. Also, to keep a key relationship for you and importantly, for you son.

Let the peace of God guide your heart.

Something like happened in my community, the family of the girl asked the guy to come and pay the bride price he refused, so the girl's family changed the case to kidnap and murder case , that they have been looking for their daughter for years , only for the guy who they claimed that they have never seen or know to inform them of their daughter's death . So they claimed that the guy kidnap and murder their daughter.
That is a dead case bro. They can't use that against an average man. There is autopsy, you can claim to be looking for somebody for such a long time and only your family will know.

Just a dead case to threatening the guy

These are some of the things that happen when you take the Red Demon Pill lesson too far.

I feel your pain bro.
You will overcome.

Question
Was she living in your house?
If not or yes, why would you marry a corpse?
They are already calling her your wife.

Continue being mentally strong.
You need the covering of CHRIST JESUS.

My only advice is you go to the police station and make a statement of exactly what happened. That way, if they falsely accuse you in the future, you have evidence, a record of exactly what happened.

GOD's way gives peace and adds no sorrow.

You want a child without marriage, but you forget the bigger picture, families are involved.
Red demon pill will not teach you these lessons, because they really do not care about you.
All they are interested in is that you rebel against GOD's command.

Keda25:

First of all I want to ask you where do you intend to bury her?

She not your wife, Agreed

the child remains the right of her family, Crappy shit. Cohabitation is recognized in Nigeria constitution so far she's not a minor. A birth certificate where the Op duly signed off as the biological father of the child and a DNA test will have the court rule in his favour.


He doesn't needs to be legally married to have claim to the child. You guys don't understand the Op can actually sue the girl's family for extortion and other shit if he's got those calls with the girl's elder brother recorded.

But my verdict on this is that the @Op should show some respect to the dead and his first child ever. Just give to ceaser what belongs to ceaser. Let him beg them for time to raise funds and get the shit done. When next his Mom advises him, he won't think twice before obeying.

Bro you are saying rubbish
The lady in question didn't you plan to marry her before

Not like you are going to kiss or have sex with the corpse, just pay the dowry and honour your late wife
You have spent years living as couples and she gave birth to a son.

When your son turns 25, you should tell him you refused to pay his mother dowry because she doesn't worth abi?

You people just create unnecessary future problems.

Just pay her bride price. Respect that woman.

When they say marry her corpse. It's not literally marrying. What it means is paying her Dowry which you ought to have done while she was alive and even before getting her pregnant. You have no claims on the son until you do the needful. Everything is not gragra.

Mumu. This is not about being tribalistic. It is pure fact. Such tradition ought to have been jettisoned by the Easterners years ago.
when you generalise a thing it shows you have zero Idea about the people in question, how that not tribalism. Learn to give answers with facts and figures, do not generalise it shows because your level of exposure.

She is dead now, you now refer to her as It. Even claiming its their daughter as if you have nothing to do with her anymore. They can accuse you of killing their daughter. Better tow the line of peace, you seem very stubborn and arrogant. Better drop that act cause it'll take you nowhere. You never had their consent and you put their daughter in the family way. Keep up with the raised shoulders you'll see what you're looking for.

in my culture, any child born out of wedlock belongs to the girls father unless the man responsible comes to pay her dowry only then can he come out and claim the child
