Shocking details of how a Nigerian woman alleged to be a virgin got pregnant and gave birth without sexual intercourse, have emerged.
The controversial story was shared by the founder of Due Process Advocates (DPA), Mr Emeka Ugwuonye, a Harvard trained Attorney on the official Facebook page of the organization.
Due Process Advocates is a human rights group with it’s headquarters in the United States.
Attorney Emeka Ugwuonye while narrating the story, revealed that a lady, based in Ebonyi State, came to DPA for help over her marital issues.
According to Ugwuonye, her story was not even about her virgin birth, but rather about getting a divorce from a short-lived but traumatic marriage.
She married a man as a virgin. The man was based overseas but he came to Nigeria for the wedding and spent one month.
After the wedding, it happened that the man had erectile dysfunction. He could neither achieve nor maintain erection. Given that the lady was a virgin, his erection was not strong enough to penetrate her during sex but he would release sperms each time on top of the walls of her vagina.
They visited many hospitals in the state and the neighboring states to see if they could get him to achieve erection. But it all failed. After a month, they quarreled and the lady moved out.
When the families came together to address the issues between them, the man said he did not want the marriage anymore.
They told him that he had to go through the normal process of divorce. But he argued that the marriage was never consummated.
Ugwuonye said, “As strange as it sounds, it is true. Now, let me tell you how it happened. A lady, based in Ebonyi State, came to DPA yesterday. Her story was not even about her virgin birth, but rather about getting a divorce from a short-lived but traumatic marriage. She married a man as a virgin. The man was based overseas. But he came to Nigeria for the wedding and spent one month. (This was the same man that wanted to lick poo and drink urine).
“After the wedding, it happened that the man had erectile dysfunction. That is: he had weak and feeble erection. He could neither achieve nor maintain erection. Given that the lady was a virgin, his erection was not strong enough to penetrate her vaginally. However, he would release sperms each time on top of the walls of her vagina. They went to many hospitals in the state and the neighboring states to see if they could get him to achieve erection. But it all failed. After a month, they quarreled and the lady moved out. When the families came together to address their issues between them, the man said he did not want the marriage anymore. They told him that he had to go through the normal process of divorce. But he argued that the marriage was never consummated.
“When you say that a marriage has not been consummated, it means that the husband and wife have not had sex. To prove that, the man told his in-laws to check to confirm that his wife’s hymen had not been ruptured. Hymen is the film-like covering of the entrance into the vagina which has been the main way of confirming whether a person is a virgin or not. The first time a girl has sexual intercourse, the hymen would break as the man penetrates her. If the hymen is still intact, is strongly suggests that the lady has not had sex. Truly, his wife’s hymen was not ruptured and the wife admitted that the man had not been able to penetrate her vaginally during intercourse. This was a delicate subject: If a man tries to penetrate a virgin, but could not do that because of erectile disfunction, is the virgin still a virgin? Even if he discharges a load of sperms on top of her vagina without penetrating her, does that amount to penetration? What is it that should penetrate the woman in order for her to cease to be a virgin? Is it the man’s penis that must penetrate her or is it the sperms that should penetrate her? This is a complex subject which I don’t want to go into here.”
While recounting further, Barrister Ugwuonye revealed that based on the fact that the lady’s hymen was not raptured, everybody assumed that the marriage was not consummated and that the lady remained a virgin.
But after one month the lady returned to her parents’ house, she discovered that she was pregnant. Yet her hymen was still not ruptured.
Ugwuonye added, “Based on the confirmation that the lady’s hymen was not ruptured, everybody assumed that the marriage was not consummated and that the lady remained a virgin. The lady moved back to her parents’ house, believing that the marriage was over and that there was no consummation. But about one month after the lady returned to her parents’ house, she discovered that she was pregnant. Yet her hymen was still not ruptured. In other words, she was still a virgin. What happened was that, apparently, as the man was trying to get his weak and dead agadogwu in, he would spill his juice over the vagina and some of it entered through the small opening on the hymen. Those sperms eventually fertilized the lady’s egg, resulting in a pregnancy. That must have been how a virgin got pregnant.
“DPA is working on this case now and these issues will be playing out in full glare of the family court in Nigeria. Hopefully, this case will open us up to a more detailed discussion of the subject of intercourse. What is sexual intercourse? What is penetration in sex? What penetrates what and what is to be penetrated in order for sex to be said to have occurred? Must there be penetration at all for sex to happen? How has our understanding of sex changed over the years? How have these changes resulted in changes in the definition of sexual offenses such as rape? Today, definition of rape in America and Europe is remarkably different from definition of rape in Nigeria. Why? We shall be discussing this subject in the coming weeks.”
