Barbaric Tradition

Tradition is a part of culture that is passed from person to person or generation to generation, possibly differing in detail from family to family, community to community…

Tradition is a commonly held system which as we progress in society we ought to review and disregard or totally eliminate babaric ones as some are inhumane…

Recently in court I was irritated at the acts of supposed family members of a deceased male towards their widow.  

The widow and her late husband married under the act, their union was blessed with two children who presently are minors.  However the deceased died intestate.

After the death of the widows husband, her in-laws knowing that her late husband left behind some assest approached her to sell off a plot of land to raise money/funds for the burial of their late brother.

She agreed to their request, immediately after the burial, she and her children were driven out of her matrimonial home by her in-laws (relations to her late husband) because she refused to pick one them as her husband.

Looking at her predicament closely, it magnify the greed of men … almost leading to my conclusion that the so called deceased family contributed to the deceased death to enable them inherit their so called brothers properties and his wife.

The so called family members are having a filled day selling off properties they never laboured for, they care less about the minors who are their very own blood relatives forgetting that no man knows tomorrow.

The above barbaric tradition should be discouraged and espounged from our society. 

Justice may seem slow but at the end it is inevitable.  Being married under the act is a secret weapon in the hands of the widow.
