Should A Wife Be Allowed To Take A Big Decision Without Informing Her In-law?

Good afternoon everybody.i will make this short as possible.

A friend of mine just died in luth (cause of that was anemia). He was operated upon and they told his wife to get blood (2 r.o) for transfusion after the procedure but due to being a jehova witness she decided not to get the blood (jehova witness don't take blood,is against there faith).

She had a back and forth about the blood with the doctors and was asked to sign incase anything happen which she sign without the husband family knowledge....it was only her and her fellow jehova witness that took the decision.

He passed away this midnight, she called her in-law to inform them and I also got the information from the deceased younger brother.

On getting here the family found out the surgery was successful but he died of anemia, the doctors told them it was the wife decision not to get him blood against there prescriptions and infact she signed taking responsibility if anything happens.

A serious fight is happening here, the family are claiming she killed there son which I totally agree to as well.

So this my question, should a wife be allowed to take such a big decision without informing the husband family first.

Note; it was her in-laws that were paying the hospital bills.

Make a thorough investigation you will find out the man before now personally signed a document and posses a card as to this effect.
IT'S A DECISION THE MAN ALREADY MADE AND SIGNED NEVER TO TAKE BLOOD COME WHAT MAY!

TheManOfTheYear:
Do you know they don't sing national anthems and serve in militaries?

Is that one suppose to be a problem? Someone refused to become a soldier so he won't have to kill,do you see that as a problem?

longetivity:
That is how one Jehovah witness woman died one time in my area because she didn't go to the hospital for treatment when she was seriously sick. Bunch of ignorant mfs

That's a lie, the is no Jehovah's witness on the surface of this earth that would refuse going to hospital or accepting medical treatment just because he or she is a Jehovah witness. NEVER!

religiously blind people

Kobojunkiee:
Um... you are still not making any sense.

Do you know what the word consent means?

If doctors could go ahead and do pretty much what they wanted, why would they have need to ask your consent in the first place?

I see you don't understand the legal reason why consent is needed so make you rest.
As for that JW woman case, doctors here will not need her consent to save his life.

Jehovah witness is a terrible sect in christiandom

the useless pastor righteousness2 go say na end time cause am

Kobojunkiee:
The woman was married to the man at the time of his death, so there is technically nothing wrong with what she did.

Whatever you do in this life, marry someone who would choose sense over religion. Imagine marrying someone who cares more about pleasing "God" than actually saving your life... Ahhhhh God abeg o

This OP. First of all. It is not jehova Witness. There is nothing like that. Next, stop saying something you know nothing about. You are blatantly lying here. The man must have in his medical file that he does not want to take blood in any situation. The wife is just there to make sure the doctors follow the mans instruction when he cant. If you like say all you want. It cant change what we believe in.

We cant try to save our life by going against Gods commandment "Stay away from BLOOD" We believe in what we believe in. At least the man died for what he believes in. Many will still take the blood and still die same period. even when they live long after, they have disobeyed God. He does not joke when it comes to blood. Blood means life and God does not allow it to be used just anyhow.

We have a lot of alternative ways to treat blood related issues. If we have experienced medical doctors in the house please they should address the issue of Blood and Jehovah's Winesses. Many good doctors can easily an dconfidently treat blood related issues without blood.

OMG..... stop feeding yourself bullsheet thinking you deceive others by doing so.

Which here? The same here wey Doctors no get power over Do-not-resucitate agreements? Get over oversell abeg!

descartes400:


Are you saying that he cannot change or adapt his belief in the face of superior medical advice when faced with death and life situation?

By bringing the patient to the hospital and not the church, you have left the realm of religion to medical science therefore the edits of medical practice must applied for the sustenance of life and not some religious beliefs

In medical practice, an unconscious patient cannot give an informed consent therefore requiring doctor's intervention in this situation.
The fact is, Medical science or practice requires blood transfusion in order to sustain his life given that the surgery was successful but the doctor due to his negligence and wife's religious belief led to the man's death! How could the doctor allow the wife's religious belief to take the front burner over what was purely a medical decision?
HOW?
WHY?

He might, he might not I have seen one who said they would rather die.

I just feel there should be a law for the doctor to take a decision in cases like this in adults, the one I have seen the doctor took the decision was for a baby and the doctor was sued by the parents, the hospital won.

Marriage law in Nigeria .

Die that thought

DoingBetter:
All this back and forth argument books down to one thing. If the man signed his card which is likely. I was a witness and we had this card in our pockets for situations like this. It started that we were not to be transfused and listed someone who can make tough decisions on our behalf of we were unconscious. I left years ago. Some things didn't sit well with me. I hope for her Sake her husband wasn't long of those forgetful ones who misplace their cards or don't renew it on time. At any rate, they're are Jehovah witness lawyers who are experts in cases like this. There have been cars like this in several countries where the spouse or parent will be let go at the end. I feel sorry for her for losing her husband and being in this mess. I feel sorry for the family too who just lost their son. Everyone is hurting and lashing out.

Seriously?

Sense as defined by what standard though? Their traditional beliefs? No thanks!

I would rather invest myself in a mode universal wisdom aka commonsense which is higher than anyone else's subjective ideas of sense in that, and God is indeed that for me and He is above all men and and cults/denominations and traditions.

It is the law...unless otherwise indicated, your marriage family is your family and your spouse is your defacto NOK or guardian even in Nigeria..

Wow. It's good this is in the open so people joining jehova witness know what they are getting into.

If that's the case then it's the decision of the man not the wife, the woman has no case to answer if the husband signed this.

Is the family of the man Jehovah's witnesses also.. they don't leave their people maybe she haven't called them or they haven't been invited

Pecoleee345:

Yes......an abia indigene.
They are not taking it likely with her at all.....the whole thing sound ridiculous.

Non of her jehova witness is showing up.....they all left her now.

Abeg you don't have the full story Mr Op.You only came here thinking of tarnishing the image of JW. The man has already consented to not taking blood which he has signed long before his sickness. Every baptised JW are supposed to do the same. By the way, how are you sure the man will not die even if he takes the blood? People have taken blood before and they still dies. The man died for his belief and its a better way to die than being killed in an accident or by police. Peole die everyday due to one reason or the other.

This is annoying! The jehovah witness people believe that human life begins at conception and therefore do not approve of abortion but yet would decline blood transfusion, organ transplant and donation meant to sustain and the continuance human life the believe begins at conception when medical emergency arises!

foolbuster:
Wow. It's good this is in the open so people joining jehova witness know what they are getting into. The woman has no case to answer if the husband signed this.

And here's the kicker. It is possible the man's family were aware of their son's decision against blood transfusions since he is JW. And it is also possible they are simply attacking his wife because they did not agree with him but see her as an easier target in all of this.

Kobojunkiee:
The woman was married to the man at the time of his death, so there is technically nothing wrong with what she did.

Being in charge of the bills does not give one legal guardianship so the in-laws are wrong in assuming they should have been consulted on the matter. So the in-laws should probably work on accepting their loss and moving on from this.

If this happens to you or your love ones, hope you would be happy to read this your response.

Very soon now she'll start to kn@ck another man.

Metchew as if when you take another person's blood you will not die. Death is a necessary end that will come when it will come. Case closed.

Lexusgs430:


You said fully grown adult...... Don't change the narrative.....

English is not hard. I didn't speak rocket science. I clearly said Most of those health cases are minors. I didn't say all of them are minors that full grown adults aren't included. Should I teach you English again. And I clearly said again Each case is different To a decerning mind I expect you to Know that means certain circumstances in certain cases might make it favorable for for the judge to overrule. Case and point minors. Its easier for a judge to overruled in favour of minors than in favour of adults. Let me clarify so you don't miss understand again. They can overrule in favour of adults that is not in question. I even use this case for example that if the man wasn't a JW there's a chance a judge can overrule it. Please go over my post again this time read it slowly. Then come back and tell what narrative is being changed .

Help2020:

Is that one suppose to be a problem? Someone refused to become a soldier so he won't have to kill,do you see that as a problem?

So if a JW in Ukraine was called upon to fight and defend his nation against ruthless Russian forces, he rejected. You'd not find it bad?

Kobojunkiee:
Make Google your friend.

A phony excuse.

membranus:
A phony excuse.

There is no law in Nigeria that says you can, using money, buy the status of guardianship over an individual. So, yes, it didn't matter who pays your bills.

emmanuelbrown26:

Rubbish upon rubbish, must u comment on every thread without a reasonable something

So you noticed him too. Thought I was the only one. Very annoying habit.

This storyline sounds cook up to call the wife bad woman.Jehovah witnesses I know will not embark on such serious health threatening issue without discussing it with doctors. Doctors will request for blood before a patient is rolled into theater and at that stage the couple will air they view not after operation doctors will start requesting for blood.
Secondly,by law the wife can decide the treatment that goes into the husband's body, provided both are legally married.

The worse after dying is landing in the pit of hell they don't believe in. It will be the greatest shock of his life. And he will wonder, why didn't I listen to my conscience.
