ABOMINATION!!! SAME S#X MARRIAGE HAS NEVER BEEN IN IGBO TRADITION
ABOMINATION!!! SAME S#X MARRIAGE HAS NEVER BEEN IN IGBO TRADITION!
People are saying same s#x marriage is permitted in Igbo culture but with a tangible reason… Please if I may ask who does that?
I refuse to believe all these cultural misconception. Alu Kwusï!!! let’s bring an end to this cultural barbarism.
From the cradle of civilization, Ndi-Igbo have only been associated with the natural order of marriage and that is what we are known for. Some shenanigans are out to rub dirt on our cherished culture.. Ndi Igbo kwenu!!!
But then, listen and digest this, open my eye of understanding and those who are aware. I don’t believe in same s#x marriage in the Igbo culture.
They said Igbo people have a culture that permits same-s#x marriage but not same s#x copulation and In this kind of marriage, a widow who has past menopause but without a child or male child goes ahead to marry a younger woman of who can still give birth to children.
So that she could bear sons to continue the lineage of her late husband.
The older woman informs the umunna (kinsmen) about her decision to marry a younger woman.
The umunna knows that this is a great sacrifice. So, they Support her and accompany her to ask for the maiden’s hand in marriage.
She pays the bride price and automatically becomes the husband of the young maiden.
In most cases, such widows prefer to marry a woman who has given birth to children outside wedlock( especially male children), Because in Igbo land, only the bride price validates fatherhood.
The aged widow, after marrying her wife is given a special honour and place amongst the men.
In some parts of Igbo land, such women are forbidden from having affairs; they must live the rest of their lives without feeling the warmth of a man.
It is also important to note that the marriage between these women is NON S#XUAL marriage.
Homose%uality is an abomination in Igbo land.
The younger maiden chooses a man of her choice among the ụmụnna for procreation.
Whatever child she bears is considered the legitimate child of the widow’s husband and he or she bears the late husband’s name.
This culture they say, has helped in preserving and ensuring the continuity of different lineages.
Dear readers, is this even possible?
