1 minute read
One Onyema Orji was at the weekend forced to ‘officially’ marry his dead
wife in Nwakpu, Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, so as to
posses the children born for him by the deceased.
Orji had divorced Blessing after the marriage produced children
including twins, on the ground that her mother was interfering in their
marriage. Blessing subsequently married another man.
Drama however ensued during the burial when the first husband, Onyema Orji brought items for her burial and wanted to take the children born for him by the late Blessing, but was told by Blessing’s family that he could bury her but could not take possession of the children as he had not performed the traditional marriage rite that will empower him to claim the children.
