The heartbroken man said his wife was already three months pregnant before a medical test was carried out on the two of them.
In a private message he sent to a Facebook user, Odo Godfrey Chikwere, the man said they were already preparing for their white wedding before the discovery was made.

When they went for the test, they discovered, to their chagrin, that they were both carriers of the AS blood type. The priest said it won't be possible to wed AS and AS carriers.
What is the importance of genotype test before marriage?
Medical science advocates against breeding between AS blood carriers because their offspring have higher chances of being born with sickle cell anaemia.
The man said his mother likes the lady a lot and that she has advised him to marry her.
His words:
"She is AS and I'm also AS. The priest said he won't consent to such a marriage. I have done traditional rites. This lady may die if I leave her now. My mother said I should go ahead that God can change anything."
