Jeffrey, a member of the viral social media phenomenon known as the 'Feral Throuple,' has clarified why only one of his two partners is legally married to him. In an interview with Teddy A, he stated that Nigerian law does not permit polygamous marriage for all parties, leading to one partner being a 'spiritual wife.'
According to Jeffrey, the legal framework in Nigeria restricts him to one legal marriage, while the other relationship is recognized spiritually within their personal arrangement. The throuple gained attention online for their unconventional lifestyle, which they share on social media platforms.
Jeffrey emphasized that both relationships are consensual and that the spiritual wife holds equal importance in their family dynamic, despite the lack of legal recognition. The interview has sparked discussions about polyamory and legal marriage constraints in Nigeria.
