I Married a Rich Man — But His Mother Says I Must Sleep With His Elder Brother for Fertility

When people say “be careful what you wish for,” I never imagined it could apply to something as beautiful as love and marriage.

According to NewsVista, a young woman’s dream of marrying a wealthy man has turned into a psychological nightmare — all because of an age-old family ritual she never saw coming.

Her husband, Jason, ticks every box: successful, charming, and from a family that commands respect. But after 18 months of marriage and no child in sight, cracks began to show — and the family revealed a shocking “solution.”

In her words:
“I thought our delay in having kids was just normal. Until my mother-in-law asked to speak with me privately. I expected comfort, maybe advice. Instead, she smiled and said, ‘In our family, the first child must come through the eldest son. It’s a tradition for wealth and fertility.’”

At first, she thought it was a cruel joke — until Jason’s sister-in-law confirmed she had done the same. Worse still, her husband, Jason, was not only aware of the practice but encouraged it.

“He begged me to just go through with it once — said it would secure our future. I felt sick. How could the man I married stand by and ask me to be with his brother like it’s normal?”

The pressure didn’t stop there. Now, her in-laws are treating her like a problem to be solved. The elder brother — the man she is expected to sleep with — has already started acting like it’s a done deal.

“I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. I feel like I was tricked into a marriage that was never about love, but tradition — one I never signed up for,” she told NewsVista.

This strange and deeply personal story has left readers asking: Where do we draw the line between tradition and abuse? Can culture ever justify such a request? Or is this simply a form of control disguised as belief?

As the woman stands at a painful crossroads, one thing is clear: what she hoped would be the beginning of a fairytale may be turning into something far more tragic.
