Ihuoma the heroine,is everyone's concubine

Ihuoma having once been married to Emenike has vowed never to marry again

everyone who married Ihuoma or expressed a wish to do so came to harm

Ihuoma prefers to be mistress rather than a wife

being the spirit-wife of the jealous sea-king,any marriage subsequently contracted cannot be valid;she is condemned to the status of a concubine.
