NkyLaw, my stepmother begged me to marry her younger brother.

Good afternoon Ma'am. I am your follower and I have been following all your posts for more than two years now and i love your teaching and I admire how you address issues...

Please Ma'am..... I have this issue bothering me and I really need your advice Ma.
Around 2017 August when I was still in school (Uni) there was a certain time I received a phone call from home that my father was sick so I had to travel to see my sick father in the hospital, along the line right still in the hospital my Stepmom started telling me about how her younger brother is unable to secure a good job, that there's a very good company that he sent his application to...

But she said that the company approved his application only that they demanded to see his wedding certificate because he applied as a married man whereas his very much single then.... And that the company are on his neck for the certificate because according to my Stepmom that they see married men as more responsible so they employ more of married people to singles that this is the reason why he lied that he was married.

So now the Koko is that my Stepmom pleaded with me to act as his wife in the court and get the marriage certificate for his job.,. I refused initially but due to much plead I had no option than to help him... So we got wedded before the magistrate, we took photos and signed the wedding certificate and left..
I have lost the photos copy that I had..
I would have sent it to you.

I'm married now with kids and my Stepmom younger brother is also married with kids living right now in the U.K

The day I told my husband about it ... He was shocked and the same time angry .... And he said that we can't have a court wedding if I didn't terminate the first marriage with my Stepmom younger brother... So how am I going to do that now. Someone advised me to sue him for bigamy but I don't want to stretch it.

Please tell me Ma'am
Na help I help oooh

NkyLaw, he said by law, everything a woman has belongs to her husband.

Good evening madam, have been following your post for some time. Please I want to know if my husband is right. He said law doesn't favor women in this country and that everything I acquired in his house belongs to him. My marriage has been tears indoors and smiles out side but I decided to draw the line and put a full stop to his wickedness during my fourth child delivery.

My problem now is that he wants to sale the house that he supported me to build, I was into various business before now but due to the complication I had during delivery I was advice to rest. Because I refuse to give him the documents and approve for him to sale the house, he stopped sending the 50k upkeep i didn't bother, he now stop paying there school fees I still did not bother because that has been he way of punishing me but unknown to him that he was only training me on how to survival without him.

He said the court will sale the house and share the money that I will be the one to lose. He never told me he has two children from different women, am just tired of his lies and his family is into diabolic practice which is against my faith and he said as long as am married to him I muswt do what he says. Please if I seek for divorce will my house be taken from me, I have my documents in my name but I answered his name as my surname.

Have been following your page and love your counsel, always full of wisdom, more grace of God.We did traditional and statutory marriage. 13 years of marriage four children, three boys and a girl, age 13, 11, 5 and 1year 11months the girl and the last.

Please hide my identity I will be in the comment section.

NkyLaw, he said I am not his biological brother.

Ma am from lmo state. Please ma l want you to advice me. Please ma my senior brother sold the only land l inherited from the family claiming am not his brother.

My mother gave birth to me before the man l know as my father died. She was asked by the family to go ahead and produce children for the family since her husband only have a son. So am a product of that affair. Am legally recognized in the community as part of the family.

In 2024 my mum passed away. My elder brother that lives in USA carter for the renovation of the house and the burial. I was in River State so l come back often to check on the preparation of the burial. That was when l started hearing he had sold my land. I tried asking him he said is a lie, after the burial that was when l knew he has sold my land. When l confronted him he said the land in question is his land that am a bastard.

The person in question that bought the land have ask me to sell him the land and l refuse telling him that is the only land l inherited to build my house. Then he met my senior brother that is the first son and he agree to sell my land without my consent. After the agreement he took him to court to sign power of attorney.

Please make how possible is it for my to reclaim my land. Please make notify me when you post.

NkyLaw, my parents said they are not in support because my husband said he is not done.

Good evening ma. Please I need your help. From the beginning of my marriage, I have never enjoyed it. I got married at the age of 21 and I am now 28 years old. My husband is so irresponsible and kept me in the family compound. Before the marriage he said he has a joint business with his brother but later after the marriage I discovered that the business actually belongs to his brother and he cannot take any money without his brother's approval who stays abroad. I confronted him about it and he said he will also make it some day.

My husband's family abúsé, intimidate, harass and even fíght me even in the presence of my husband and he won't do anything to defend me. At times he àbúses me in their presence and they will support him. Even in the family WhatsApp group they will say all sorts of things about me and my cowife also abúses me. Honestly I feel like committing su!c!de because I feel so alone in this world.

I told him that I want divorce but he said he won't file for divorce because we have statutory marriage and that I don't have money to file for divorce so I must wait till he is ready to divorce me. But from you I have learnt that the statutory marriage is not valid because we have the two copies of the certificate with us. None was returned. I do small business and I bear 70% of the family needs for 4 children while he bears like 30% and my business is crumbling because of the burden.

Since I marrie him, I cook in the old kitchen while others cook in the kitchen in the main building which is a two storey building my father in law built because they would not allow me use the main building to cook.

I feel so frustrated because my parents are not supporting me to go for divorce. They said I have to remain in my marriage. They called my husband and asked him if he is no longer interested in the marriage and he said he is still interested and my parents said that's all that matters that I should go back.

Please ma, what do I do since my parents are not in support? I have saved up money to rent an apartment and live alone.

NkyLaw, I asked him to give me two of the children but he refused.

Good evening ma'am. Please just try to understand me and help me out.

I talked to you about my abúsíve marriage and even told you that I filed for the custody of the kids last year January/February.

But the issue has taken another dimension. The custody wasn't completed according to the lawyer since we were living together.

Please I know and feel I still behaved naive.

However, I'm out of marriage (separated). I don't have finance for divorce now but I can take 2 of my kids remaining the eldest with me since I'm working.

Here's the issue
After the last issue, I told him that we or both of us should go and do various STD tests before I can have séx with him. He refused and I didn't risk it because I treated myself last year.

Intense quarrel everyday, and he locked me out one night when I came back from a comedy show which I told him. I went to my coursemate store where I started to sleep for a month before I got a bed sitter. I couldn't fíght or bear to stay in the same house with him any longer.

I suffered mental abúsé, name calling, character defamation, if I attend occasion, there would be trouble, telling my kids and everyone that care to listen that I'm an ashawo. I can't really explain the torture. Staying there and quarrelling everyday,

I decided to separate from him that night he locked me out. After I got the bedsitter a month later, I wrote to him to let me take the 2 younger ones and leave the eldest that will be 14 yrs next month with him but he refused.
I even told him another time to let me have the 2 younger ones, he resisted and said he doesn't want them to live separately.

I left April 5th, 2026.

The issue now is, I heard he wants to take my kids to his mother in Abuja but we live here in Edo State. I don't know how true it is. The info was, he asked about admission into Nursery 1 (Kg 3 in his present school), JSS 1 and and SSS 1 and his mother said her grandchildren will resume school here in Lagos.

We are both co-parenting the kids. I paid for lesson fees, I paid the skills acquisition training, they come to me after school hours to do their assignments. Even at times when he travels, the last baby of 5yrs passes the night at my place.

Kindly guide me on how I can put a restriction on that move of taking the kids to his mother and to notify him to let my daughter that'll be 11yrs next month and my son of 5yrs to stay with me while he handles their school fees and send child care money.

Please help. I'll appreciate a suggested right lawyer to meet.

NkyLaw, she said she didn't meet children in my house when she came.

Good morning NkyLaw, please I want to present my case to you for your candid advice because aside being a lawyer, I have seen that you are blessed with wisdom and straight with your advice. Please if I am wrong tell me.

I and my wife have been married for 8 years and we have 4 children, 3 boys and one girl. The problem became too much that she forced me to become violéñt on her. If I don't béàt her she will not listen. So before she will push me to do worse things because she is very stubborn, disrespectful, dirty and not a virtuous woman I now said we should divorce.

Families and even our pastors have tried to settle us several times and everyone is tired of being involved because she will insult them and say they have not finished solving their life problems it's her own they want to solve, even her family are tired.

I said she will not leave with my children because she doesn't even take care of them well. She said if she is leaving that she will leave with them that she didn't meet children in my house when she came and that I didn't follow her to labour room to bring children.

So one day I throw her out of the house and that I want divorce. She left and I have filed for divorce in court. The problem now is that my neighbour who stays in a self contain moved out and this woman rented the apartment.

The landlord told me and I told him not to give her the place and he said he has collected rent from her that she even paid more than what the previous tenant paid that if I can't bear it I should move out.

Now she has moved in and is always disturbing calling my children and the children now will be crying that they want to go and sleep in their mummy's house.

Please can I sue the landlord for adding to my problems so the court will order him to send her away. I have looked for house but the rent is like 3 times what I am paying now and I cannot afford to move out and this place is very close to my office. Please advice me.

NkyLaw, everyone is blaming me for involving my husband.

Good afternoon ma
Please I really need advice and to know if I did wrong...
I'm a married woman with one kid and currently pregnant, so it happens that me and my husband where we are leaving is not far from his family house, I usually go there sometimes anytime I'm bored, I'm very close to his mother and his grandmother because his grandmother is leaving in his family house...his mother's mother...my husband cousin sister is leaving with his grandmother she is helping the woman with errands and choices in the house cause the woman is old...the little girl is about 8 to 9 years...

Why my mother in-law has a boy that is staying with them...the bo have been with them for a long time so the boy is just like my mother in-law errands boy and he helps her stay in the shop and run other errands for her...the boy is about 20 to 21 years..

So 2 days ago my husband grandmother called me to come and buy something for her because anytime she needs something like buying something from the market for her she will call me..so she called me and I came..when I came I saw the little girl she was walking somehow like someone that has injuries in her private part...I called her and asked her why she was walking like that...she said nothing, I asked her again she said nothing..the nma said I should leave her for now that she is doing something that later I should re ask her that thing I was asking her that she has noticed it too...due to rain and time so I couldn't ask her again,I went to my mother in-law and told her that the gi is walking somehow but I have asked her she said nothing that later she should ask her and check if she has injuríés in her private pàrt...my mother in-law said ok..

so I went home that evening, so in the morning yesterday nma called me again that I should come, I went and everywhere was calm I asked what is going on...then i was told that the boy of 20 years being my mother in-law errands boy has ràpéd the girl of 8 years..that that's why she was walking the way she was walking... The girl said they have done it 4 times and the boy said told her not to tell anyone.

i was mad...then were just shouting at the boy nobody was doing anything...and my husband is someone the use to be scared of...I called my husband and told him what was happening in there house...if you see wetin my husband do that boy yesterday..even me self come dey pity the boy...and my husband went and called the little girl mom and the mom came and carry the boy with police...

now everybody in the family is calling me wicked that why will I involve my husband that I know how my husband is and how wicked he can be...and why will my husband called the girl mom. My mother in-law said I'm wicked that I want to bring problem to his family,

Please I want to ask did I do wrong in telling my husband and is my husband wrong in telling the little girl mom... because they are protecting the boy instead of the little girl and they didn't even take the little girl to hospital 😭

NkyLaw, he told me something different from what he told the children.

Good afternoon ma. Indeed you have been a real life save and a huge blessing. May God preserve you and richly reward you ma.

Please, my husband related to his people that he has moved on and is not interested in the marriage any more to which my people have been communicated.

He sends money when he feels like and basically for specific needs like school fees or to compound repairs.

He came recently to see the kids with conflicting stories he told me he wanted to see them before traveling the told them he wanted to take them to see his brother who we know was in Germany. It didn't work out. Now he cane again that his mum is in the hospital and wants to take the kids to see her to which I said I would come along and he flared up.

I told him I was considering offers outside Owerri but wanted his opinion because seeing the kids would be limited to December to which he said no problem.

My question now is is it safe to leave to he kids alone with him? He said he isn't working anymore meaning I can't reach him in his previous office and he doesn't want us to know where he has staying. If he goes with the kids it would be almost impossible tracking him.

Kindly advice me on what best action to take.

NkyLaw, can you imagine that she had the mind to leave just like that.

Barrister Nky ezigbo mmadu, daalu rinne for everything you are doing. We the Igbos are proud of you and happy to have you as our sister and daughter.

Something happened and I feel I should ask you before I act so I don't do what I will regret. You know we have culture in Igbo land.

I and my wife separated. I told her that I am not interested in the marriage again because I want to take a second wife and she refused so I said it's either she accepts it or she leaves so I can marry because I am a traditional man and I need more than one wife and that's why I refused to do this court marriage.

Will you believe that my wife of over 16 years packed her things and left. She could not even fíght for her marriage. Her people called me to come and collect the bride price but I refused. They came to my house but I was not around and they left.

On Sunday, a dispatch rider called me that he has delivery for me. I asked him from who and what, but he said he doesn't know that his own is to deliver. He came and gave me envelop and I opened it and saw ₦2,000 in it and a letter from my wife's uncle who is acting as her father saying it's the bride price that I paid that the marriage is over.

Nky Ada Igbo, can I reject it and return the envelope to them? If they want to end the marriage, they should do it the right way of bringing palmwine, calabash and the money and they will break it otherwise she remains my wife.

Nne please, I want to reject this money because I don't want to divorce my wife. I have not even seen the woman I want to marry yet and my wife left just like that.

Please tell me what to do my sister. Daalu Nky Ada Igbo.

NkyLaw, only bride price was paid without any wedding.

Good evening ma. Please I need your legal advice and thoughts on this 👇

Marriage that only bride price payment was done. Not wedding of any sort. And such marriage ended and d woman wants to be free.

How is it done please?

To me, only the bride price will be returned and that's it

OR

Is there need for divorce procedure? Since traditional, church and court wedding was not done.
