A clergy member has sparked debate by asserting that widows must perform customary rituals before entering a new marriage.
In a widely shared sermon online, the minister argued that a widow remains spiritually linked to her deceased husband, warning that any man who becomes intimate with her without observing the prescribed rites could invite spiritual repercussions.
He added that, according to certain cultural practices, specific ceremonies are conducted prior to a young widow’s remarriage to dissolve the spiritual connection she retains with her late spouse.
His words in part …
“No matter how nice a widow is, don’t ever sl££p with her. Every widow is married to the spirit of her late husband. The day the husband dropped d£ad, the spirit took over the marriage. What spirits do is that whatever that attracted you to her, maybe she’s p0or broke and you’re paying her school fees. Whatever thing that makes her subject to you. As soon as you sl£*£p with her, that spirit will att@ck that source. This is why when a man d!es and the widow is young and wants to remarry, there are certain r!tuals they do. If it’s not done, what happened to the other man will happen to him ..”
