TrĂŁgedy knĂ´cked on the door of a young, beautiful couple about 1 year ago.
Â
ArmĂŞd robbers invaded their home in the dĂŞĂŁd of night. Mr. Eben, the husband, did what any man in love might do...he gave up all the cash in the house, even handed over some of their belongings. But then, one of the robbers tried to do the unthinkable. He made a move to violate his wife, Vivian.
Â
That was where Eben drew the line.
Â
With nothing but courage and love in his heart, he stood up to defend her. Sadly, in the strûggle, a bu||et strûck him. The r0bbers fled. He was rushed to the hospital, barely conscious. But the bu||et had pierced too deep, straight into his heart.
Â
He didn’t make it.
Â
Vivian was shĂŁttered. A two-year-old marriage cut short by violence. No children. No goodbye. Just memories.
Â
Fast forward to eleven months after his burial, a new chapter seemed to be opening. Word reached Mr. Eben’s family that Vivian was about to remarry. The groom? A young man who had just returned from abroad, apparently deeply in love and ready to start a new life with her.
Â
But that news didn’t sit well with the family of the late Mr. Eben.
Â
They were fûrious.
Â
To them, it was disrespectful. Too soon. A s|ap in the face of mourning. And without hesitation, they organized themselves and stormed the wedding grounds, putting an abrupt stop to the ceremony.
Â
According to them, their brother d!ed protecting her. And because of that, they insist that she must mourn him for at least five years...no marriage, no relationships, nothing r0mantic. If she dares to defy them, they’ve threatened to handle it “the traditional way” using Amadouha, a dreaded cultural rite meant to punish disrespect in mourning customs.
Â
It’s a trãgic love story, one that ended in bl00d, grief, and now, controversy.
Â
But it also leaves us with a question:
Â
How long should someone mourn before they’re allowed to love again?
Is it fair to demand loyalty to the dead at the expense of the living?
Where do we draw the line between tradition and emotional healing?
