A man has reportedly left his matrimonial home after his wife brought six children belonging to her late sister into their house without his consent.
According to a post shared on X, the woman’s elder sister died, leaving behind six daughters aged between six and 20. After attending the burial, the woman returned home with all six children, despite the couple not having children of their own.
The situation reportedly caused repeated arguments, with the husband expressing discomfort over the sudden responsibility. He eventually left the house, telling his wife, “I am not marrying again. Either she returns the kids to their father or I won’t come back home.”
When questioned about how he would feel if the children were his, he reportedly replied, “I wouldn’t want to give birth to six kids in the first place,” before packing his belongings and leaving.

OmoIyabiola commented: “The woman should be understanding. Taking up responsibilities of 1 kid is much already but 6 is too far.”
Bisola concluded: “God will help her and the kids. The 20 year old is old enough
“If your niceness brings discomfort to another person. Your niceness is wickedness. Caring shouldn’t come at the expense of your partner’s peace of mind.”
Omo_Benya said: “That was a lot sha. Even my mum that lost her younger sister with 4 kids, she only took one and that is the last born. The third one is with the father while the first two were with other family members. That 6 is too much oo.”
