Does A Widow Need To Return Bride Price For Her To Date Another Man? by fineboynl(m): 5:35am On Aug 24, 2023
I’m in a serious situation. i have been dating this young widow for a while now without any issues.

But From the day I slept with her i have been noticing some things i don’t want to talk about.

Many things have been going through my mind concerning her.

From the igbo/Yoruba and all other cultures in Nigeria. What should a widow do before she start sleeping with another man? Should she returned the bride price?

Because I’m considering cutting ties with her and go for deliverance.

Hmmm... This is weird, I think you should discuss with her, she should open up, perhaps she's hiding something.

In Igbo culture, the widow and her family do not return any bride price upon the death of the husband as the marriage ended with the death of the husband, not divorce.

I believe death ends all marital ties in Yoruba land too.

Absolutely no idea what tradition demands, but morally, there is need to let your late husband family know about your decision to remarry, especially when there are children involved..

Death ends every marital ties in ISLAM. Since you are a christian, and you found the young woman a ideal woman you would like to marry, take her to your church for deliverance.

If the woman wants to remarry, she has to return the bride price, and inform the late husband's family of her decision.

Funny how you placed the cart before the horse. You bleeped her before coming to make your mumu enquiry so deal with it.

shocked

people dey try o!

did you bother checking what caused her to be a widow at a very young age, I guess NO

Not every hole is right to insert your fertile rod.

But, for returning her bride price, that is hell No, because death has done them apart and she's free dating and cohabiting with anyone she so wishes to.

Lol

Very strange cultures and ways of thought in Nigeria. Las las...na poverty dey make people think this way.

Once a man/woman dies, that is the end. Which one is returning dowry or bride price or whatever again?

The dead is dead and he is gone.

Man wan go for deliverance. Lol. Superstition in Africa is the reason we are backward. The deliverance we need is from poverty. Period.

Poor people have a backward way of thinking.

OP should get a digital skill and he will be delivered from poverty. Only failures associate their failed businesses to spiritual issues, culture and tradition that are non existing.

Yes she does so that whatever held her and her husband had been cut off by death will be finalized by the returning of the bride price.

No.
If you are having issues ask her she mighty have contributed to her husband demise.
My tradition has it that dating a widow without returning her bride price to her husband family is not an offence but such person should be aware that any pregnancy resulting from such relationship belongs to her late husband's family. This is biblical as well.
If you must claim such pregnancy you must return her bride price prior to having such relationship that might lead to marriage and hence pregnancy.

Death has separated her from all vows made, except there is more to it she isn't telling you. Or it's just your mindset,what stuff exactly are you experiencing some may not be spiritual you may just be thinking it is
