I wasn’t asked to marry my late husband’s elder brother – Widow disclaims report

A businesswoman, Eleojo Daisy Egirani, has denied a report claiming that she was compelled by her in-laws after the passing of her husband to marry her late husband’s elder brother.

 

A report in the media (Not DAILY POST) tagged, ‘’ Domestic Violence in the Society,’’ had claimed that Egiranyi shared her ordeal with a platform, where she was alleged to have also claimed that her late husband’s family members insisted on marrying out her daughter at the age of 12.

The reason, according to the report, was that she had no male child for her late husband.

The report claimed that ‘’A woman suffers these abuses when she loses her husband and she is subjected to all forms of human degradations, an example is a lady who was tortured, physically abused and all worth not, Mrs. Daisy Egirani who shared for the world to know what a lot of women go through but are afraid to come out to talk on their experiences and the funniest thing is that when the issues are taken to the appropriate quarters, it is handled as part of life.

 

‘’She had a 12-year-old daughter for her husband and after the death of her husband in October 2020, her husband’s elder brothers and uncle came up to her that her daughter and only child must follow the tradition by getting married at that tender age (12).

‘’Again she, the mother of the girl will have to get married to the husband’s eldest brother because she did not bear him a male child. Her husband’s properties were forcefully taken from her, leaving her bare with nothing to show to her daughter when she is of age.”

The report further claimed that she reported the matter to the police authorities but that it was considered a family matter, ‘’with no actions taken to address the abuses on her and her daughter.’’

But the lady in question has now come out to deny the narrative in the writeup, disclosing that she had no idea what was published and had at no time granted an interview to anybody regarding her purported ordeal.

 

The woman, who is still mourning her husband, in a disclaimer sent to DAILY POST disassociated herself from the report saying, ‘’I, Eleojo Daisy Egirani assumes no responsibility and disassociate my self and the Egirani family from the publication or article in the content of the platform. The information contained in that article is untrue, maliciously used, and false, without accuracy and information untrue.

“I have never been a victim of domestic violence either when my husband was alive or after his death.

“Right from inception, I have always maintained a good relationship with my husband’s family and there has never been any form of disagreement.”

She appealed to the public to completely disregard the report, urging the media and the public to respect her privacy and allow the family to mourn the dead in peace.
