The Igbo People Have A Culture That Permits Same-se.x Marriage? by Vixlot: 5:58am On Mar 29

The Igbo people have a culture that permits same-se.x marriage.

This same-s.ex marriage is between two women.

In this kind of marriage, a widow who has past menopause goes ahead to marry a younger woman of reproductive age,

So that she could bear sons to continue the lineage of her late husband.

The older woman informs the umunna about her decision to marry a younger woman.

The umunna knowing that this is a great sacrifice,

Supports her and accompanies her to ask for the maidens hand in marriage.

She pays the bride price and automatically becomes the husband of the young maiden.

In most cases, such widows prefers to marry a woman whom has given birth to children outside wedlock( especially sons),

Because in Igbo land, only bride price validates father hood.

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 are non-s.exual marriage.

Homos.exuality is an abom.ination in Igbo land.

The younger maiden goes about meeting men,

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 has helped in preserving and ensuring the continuity of different lineage.

Yes but not that the two have any sexual relations or practice lesbianism

She marries a younger lady to bear children for her husband... It's different and more complex than what you explained

Well, post this in the right section.
The above claim by the OP is not a lie. Although i do not think it was generally practiced across Igboland, it is not happening in the modern days. It is not also frowned at.
It is our custom and we are not against it. Customs are made to suit the society need and today, the reason for those custom are no longer there or reduced.

She married her in the husband's name for procreation and family continuity since she is barren and the husband's kinsmen will give the woman belle. It is called preserving the family line.

As ancient Hebrews, the concept comes from the context of this passage of the Old Testament, I presume.

Deuteronomy 25:5-7 CSB
"When brothers live on the same property and one of them dies without a son, the wife of the dead man may not marry a stranger outside the family. Her brother-in-law is to take her as his wife, have sexual relations with her, and perform the duty of a brother-in-law for her. [6] The first son she bears will carry on the name of the dead brother, so his name will not be blotted out from Israel. [7] But if the man doesn't want to marry his sister-in-law, she is to go to the elders at the city gate and say, 'My brother-in-law refuses to preserve his brother's name in Israel. He isn't willing to perform the duty of a brother-in-law for me.';

A very fooling post. Such a marriage is done in the late husband's or late son's name solely for procreation and keeping of family name.

The woman in question doesn't even pay bride price because it's an abomination in Igboland.

Random people that doesn't understand one another when they are from different communities. It's been discovered that the tribe was coined to give some people a majority status, to allow them negotiate in regards to natoonal politics.

The fact that you are crying gives me joy. He is in A ZOO cage, but as a LION that makes you still cry bitterly even with him being in captivity You will cry excess blood and nobody gives a darn about you.

Why not cry for Boko HARAM also. They also want their own country. Bloody loser.

Cry excessive blood grin
