A Unique Cultural Tradition in Nigeria
In Nigeria, the practice of marrying the dead, also known as posthumous or ghost marriage, reflects deeply-rooted cultural beliefs and ancestral reverence. This tradition occurs in several ethnic groups, including the Igbo and Hausa, where a family arranges a symbolic marriage between a living person and the spirit of a deceased individual. The practice often serves to maintain social ties, honor family legacies, or settle unfinished marital arrangements. Discover how this rare cultural tradition is practiced, its significance, and its place in Nigerian heritage.
