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."

Reactions from Facebook users as man insists on marrying his mother-in-law

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."
