A Nigerian lady's wedding has been called off after she refused to address her fiancé’s 11-year-old niece as aunty.

The lady, 29 and a master's holder, said she could not come to terms with calling someone she is older than by 18 years her aunty.

According to the lady's story shared by Adefemi Taiwo Damilola on Facebook, her would-have-been mother-in-law was offended by her insistence not to address her niece as her aunty.

Her fiancé's mum thought it was rude of her not to accord the niece the traditional respect by calling her aunty, and when a similar issue came up with another teenage niece, she was told to forget about the marriage if she continued with her disregard for the Yoruba culture.
