Death is a reality and nobody understands it more than a dead person. *IThink*
The mystery of death is demystified only by the deceased.
Marriage has neither advantage or disadvantage over death but you've to understand a people from their culture. Some cultural thoughts need to be seriously looked into. Marriage in Igbo tradition isn't something that they joke with but more importantly igbo value child bearing. That's why we've names like Nwanenyeanuri, obiechina etc.
Marriage is a sacrament that was instituted by Christ himself and it should be encouraged.However, there's no particular age for marriage. One goes into marriage whenever he or she thinks that one is ready.
For those asking you about the statutory status of the deceased. Their intentions could be categorised into 2 ; (1) if he's married , what will happen to his family (2) if he's not married, his lineage has ended.
Death gives no information before taking one.
May we continue to pray for the happy repose of Ejike and may we also accept the fact that our own date can be anytime.
*Memento mori*
