Published




The refusal of a Nigerian feminist to kneel for her husband during their Yoruba traditional marriage has sparked different reactions online, with many Twitter users defending that aspect of the Yoruba culture.

The newly wedded lady, identified as Eniola, had posted social media that she and her husband instructed the elders at her wedding not to ask her to kneel down.

She wrote,

“Speaking of submission, during my Yoruba engagement, my husband and I told the Alagas to not use that word or ask me to kneel for him. Everyone told me it wouldn’t be possible because, culture. But guess whose knees didn’t touch the ground?

She added,

My sister’s wedding was earlier this week and she also warned against using the term “ile oko” (husband’s house). Everyone is setting their house rules and removing the bs one act at a time. Looking forward to subversive “no wedding” family members lol

But many Yoruba Twitter users have gone ahead to defend the ‘kneeling’ and ‘prostrating’ aspect of the traditional marriage, with one saying they are the highlights of the wedding.
