My Would-be In-laws Asked Me To Sleep With My Sister-in-law Before I Can Marry My Bride
Oct 9, 2025
In this bizarre wedding story, I share how love, loyalty, and culture collided in the worst way. My fiancée’s family told me I must sleep with her sister to prove I’m strong enough for marriage — a test I couldn’t accept. I chose faithfulness over shame, and that single decision cost me the woman I loved. It’s a story of love, betrayal, and the painful price of doing what’s right. #NekenwaTV #StoryTime #LoveAndBetrayal #AfricanStories

Today I am not reacting to any wedding
0:01
story. I want to tell you people a
0:03
story. A story of what happened to me
0:06
and the woman that I want to marry. How
0:08
the woman I want to marry ended up
0:10
marrying another man because of one
0:12
village tradition like that. Now let me
0:14
tell you what happened. A few weeks ago
0:17
I went to my father-in-law. I went to my
0:18
in-laws to inform them that I want to
0:20
get married. Now my in-law after my
0:23
in-laws after they welcomed me they now
0:25
told me that there is one particular
0:27
thing that they do in their community
0:29
that every man who wants to marry their
0:31
daughter must pass through that same
0:32
process before he ends up marrying their
0:34
daughter. Okay. I opened my heart and I
0:37
waited for them to tell me what this
0:39
thing is. They told me that for me to
0:41
marry their daughter, I must first of
0:43
all sleep with the elder sister or the
0:46
younger sister of the lady I want to
0:47
marry. where the lady does not have an
0:49
elder sister or younger sister, they
0:51
have to look for a a a close relative
0:55
who is not married yet, a single
0:57
relative, then I will end up sleeping
0:59
with that. Then that lady will be the
1:01
one to inform the family if I am good
1:04
with with a woman on bed.
1:08
Do you understand what I'm saying? That
1:10
lady will need to inform the family of
1:12
my strength as a man on bed. that is if
1:15
I am strong enough to take care of the
1:17
lady on bed, the lady I want to marry on
1:19
bed. I told them no, I can never do this
1:22
kind of a thing that I I I was thinking
1:25
I was thinking to me I was thinking that
1:26
this people wants to tempt me to know if
1:29
actually I am I am I am this kind of a
1:33
person that I'm jumping from one woman
1:35
to another. I told them no that the
1:37
woman their daughter that I want to
1:38
marry is enough for me. I don't want to
1:40
have anything to do with any other woman
1:42
outside her. In fact, the truth is in
1:45
fact I I told them pop and plain that
1:46
I'm I'm still a virgin. I don't have I
1:48
don't know anything about a woman. Even
1:50
up to I've not even slept with their
1:51
daughter. We I have dated their daughter
1:53
for four years and I never slept with
1:55
her. I told her I'm only going to do
1:56
this when we finally marry. Now this is
1:59
the time for me to break that that h
2:02
that that law that that thing I have
2:05
kept I have kept I've kept for a long
2:08
period of time. And these people are
2:09
telling me that I need to first of all
2:10
break it with a woman that is not yet my
2:13
wife. Then that woman will not decide if
2:14
I am strong enough to be a man on the
2:17
bed with my wife.
2:24
Now
2:25
after I told them that this can never
2:27
happen, they told me that that is the
2:29
only thing that that is delaying me from
2:32
marrying their daughter. That until I
2:34
come to a conclusion about that, that is
2:36
the only way the marriage can hold. I
2:38
went home, I told him, I'm going to come
2:40
back after thinking about it.
2:42
The next weeks week week again that I
2:45
came I they said that it remains the
2:47
same thing. I was thinking that these
2:49
people are trying me. I never knew that
2:50
it has been like that. I just I'm just
2:54
calling back now from my in-laws place.
2:56
I'm just today I'm just coming back from
2:58
my in-laws place. On getting there when
3:02
I got there vehicles has lined up. I
3:05
asked what is going on? They said a new
3:07
person has come to marry the same woman
3:09
that I want to marry. the same woman
3:11
that I have dated for four years that
3:14
they are currently doing their
3:15
traditional marriage. I thought it was a
3:16
joke when I got in there. I saw my my
3:19
girlfriend, the woman I'm supposed to
3:21
marry, saying
3:27
she is currently in the hands of another
3:28
man. Two of them now are married
3:32
because of a tradition that is alien to
3:36
me. How do you expect me to sleep with
3:38
another woman outside my own wife in the
3:41
name of she
3:45
like this? Now my head my head wants to
3:47
bust. My head wants to bust. I don't
3:50
know what I'm thinking anymore. I don't
3:52
know what I'm what I don't know what to
3:54
do anymore. I don't know what to do
3:55
anymore. The lady that I have prepared
3:58
myself for over 4 years. I've known her
4:01
ways of reasoning and what have you.
4:03
This lady finally it is time for we to
4:06
marry.
4:08
They telling me that I cannot marry her
4:10
or except I bring in I I sleep with her
4:13
sister or her relative and when that
4:17
person confirms that yes I am fit enough
4:19
to marry their daughter then I can go
4:20
ahead and marry their daughter.
4:24
I don't know if maybe you have had an
4:25
experience like this or maybe there's
4:26
any kind of tradition that you must go
4:31
through before you marry. Please tell us
4:32

4:34
like this now I want to go and gather
4:36
boys that marriage is still ongoing I
4:39

4:41

4:42

4:48

4:50
