According to an interview by the Sun with Ifa Traditionalist, Yemi Elebuibon has said that the ex-queen of the Ooni of Ife must undergo necessary cleansing before she can marry or lay with any other man to avoid dire consequences.
According to Yemi Elebuibon:
‘The wife of the Oba will be asked to consult Ifa and Ifa will give directions on how she will make the necessary atonement for her cleansing. In Yoruba tradition, a woman who has been married to a king cannot lay with any other man even if the marriage breaks up. But when the right atonements have been made, there won’t be problem’.
He also talked about the problems the Ooni’s ex-wife might encounter if she refuses to undergo the traditional cleansing rites;
‘For the woman, she might not really have a problem but for any man who sleeps with a queen or marries an ex-queen without the appropriate cleansing, the man may die prematurely, he may be struck with sickness or there might be retrogression in his life’.
