From the report they were never married as bride price was never paid. just cohabiting.

In many igbo communities, children of such relationship belong to the woman's family and should she get married to another man, those children will remain with her family of birth while in some igbo communities, the man who eventually pays her bride price becomes the father of those children and bears his name.......ask questions before opting to be a baby daddy.

Armaggedon:
The children never belonged to him and Infact, there was no marriage.

DamnnNiggarr:
you can't just come all the way from God-knows-where, and get someone's daughter pregnant, without performing some marital rites and expect the baby to be handed to you.

You may try that with some woke Igbo families and succeed, but don't ever try that with Igbotic families, especially from Anambra or Abia States, else, you'll have yourself to blame.

JuanDeDios:

In the man's culture nko?

MrDoGood:


Your tradition is different from the constitution governing a state.

Except the man don't want issues and choose to let his kids go away

ceejay80s:

All is story...if pikin grow he won't know his father again abi?

IconicR:
So tribe is still a major factor in Nigeria marriages? It's sad.

What do you think made Davido to hasten marrying Chioma? Their late son had Adeleke as his surname on paper but traditionally belonged to Chioma's family because the father never married the mother. Davido's family had the wealth to go up to the Supreme court to contest legally but they knew better to respect tradition and did what was necessary before they could bury the boy.

MrDoGood:


Bro relax your mind.
By law, a woman can't claim a child. Except the father choose not to associate with that child.

Get a lawyer to explain better to you.

You're bringing stone age to the future.

Let's say you're ready to marry your baby mama, but her family is against it. What then happens to the child? The family claims it?

A lawyer will explain better to you. Okay?

Smartguyboy:


The man have no right over the children because you pregnant someone and you the you are automatically owner of the kids without doing the right thing?

Someone should advise the man to go and pay her bride price if he want his kids back that tradition the lady will have no right to stop him.

Unless the lady refuse to let him pay the bride price then he can do whatever he want.

But come to think of it how can a man marry another man wife with 4 kids ?

Mindlog:


No go do baby daddy with the "wrong woman".

The same thing happened to me . My ex who is yoruba took my child to one of the passport offices In lagos with a view to obtaining passport for him in the name of her new man . God so kind the thing come hook . She visited me one morning to plead that we reconcile abd have another baby ..I told her that I don't have any issue with that if only she is ready to change her character. After that discussion she suggested we get a passport for our son ....I.love the idea so I followed her to the passport office with a view to getting one for my son . To my surprise I was taking to a special room for interview ...the panel asked me if I am the father of the child...I got angry with them cos is a big insult to say that to a man ...when the discovered I was angry...there oga now brought out application filed by my ex ...

She said she ask me that question cos she has not seen a responsible father allowing the ex to adopt the name of her new husband ...they invited me to clear this before they can proceed . I starrted crying cos I wasn't aware she has gone to do this and the thing hooked ...that's why she started looking for a way to drag me into her evil plan. Immediately I called my.lawyer and he order them to suspend the application untill when I am ready and whatever they wanna do with my criminal ex is left for them. ..That day I respected men and women of Nigerian immigration ...The professional way the handled that matter made me believe that there are many good people in that institution...they told me this kind of incident has sacked lots of them that didn't handle it well ...is a kind of child trafficking . The reason I responded to this is cos the op was saying he is yoruba while the wife is igbo ...crime has no ethnic group ...criminals are in yoruba , igbos and other ethnic group . If marriage is not working out ..those in it should divorce and reach amicable way to takecare of there kids ...marriage is not by force

tunjijones:
But women get mind oooo. Changed the children name to that of her lover.

That's the hight for me.

Pious101:
If there was never a marriage then there is nothing to dissolve in court

This is one of the most satanic and barbaric culture of the igbos I detest. I feel for the Yoruba man tho

Flatingos are strange breed.. For their minds, they are the best and the most perfect in the world. Most times I wonder the kind of creatures they are.

Cohabiting and they have 4 children? Even that does not give her the right to change the children's surname to that of her lover. It's an aberration.
