The man’s wife died at the age of 34, leaving behind three children, a boy and 2 girls. The widowed man, who is now 46 is proposing to wed his mother-in-law, who is a 57-year-old widow.
While the marriage proposition has sparked reactions, the man insisted that was what he wanted.
The story reads:
“A man (name withheld) lost his wife after they had had three children (two boys and a girl). His wife died at 34 years old. Two years after, he wants to marry his mother-in-law who is 57 years old and a widow. He is 46 years old. He says he does not need more children nor want to marry an outsider who may isolate and maltreat his children. Some members of their two wider families support the idea while many are against it.”
Here are some of the reactions from social media users who expressed mixed reactions about his desires:

Uchechukwu Damian Ononachi said:
“He doesn’t need to marry the mother-in-law, except they have been having romantic affairs. All he needs to do, is to ask the woman to live with them and take care of his children. Marrying the mother-in-law is not right.”
Chike Nnanyelu Bunch commented:
“Both of them should be investigated thoroughly over the wife’s demise.”
Uzo Goodluck said:
“I’m now suspecting the mother-in-law over the death of his wife.”
Ifeanyi Ugwu commented:
“It is taboo in my culture.”
