Holla Listeners, in this episode, we delve into a Marital Tradition evident in the south-south region of Nigeria, Delta State precisely.

This tradition forbids a woman from cheating on her husband and it is practiced mainly by the Aniomas, Isokos, and Urhobos of Delta State.

Failure to adhere to this tradition results in severe consequences for the woman and her family as she will bring a curse upon her household.
