A Nigerian woman reported to have "married" four women last weekend in Kano State has denied the allegations.
Aunty Maiduguri told the BBC the reports of her wedding were false, and that she was not a lesbian.
She had gone to the police and lawyers and would take the case to court in an effort to clear her name, she said.
Under Sharia law, adopted in the state seven years ago, homosexuality and same-sex marriages are outlawed and considered very serious offences.
Lesbianism is also illegal under Nigeria's national penal code.
