The author of 'Things Fall Apart' make it clear that the 'tribal judicial ceremony is for men' as no woman attended the ceremony.
Explanation:
- The Ibo people have many 'ceremonies', 'social gatherings', and rituals that help them gather spiritual and cultural aspects of their clan.
- The judgment ceremony is called the “egwugwu house” The leader of “egwugwu” named evil forest 'addresses both groups' and 'receives their 'sides of the conflict.'
- Then the nine spirits, also called egwugwu spirits consult in the hut and then come out and give the verdict to the crowd.
- Women are not supposed to attend these ceremonies as it is not a part of their culture.
