There are variations of African sayings that ‘you don’t marry a person, you marry his/her entire family’, which invariably means that one’s family background comes to play when choosing a spouse.In the traditional Igbo society, when a man expresses interest in a woman, both families go on a fact-finding mission. It could range from checking the families’ financial strength, the health history, behaviour and so on.
