A Nigerian lady has urged social media users not to forcefully get married to a partner who does not reciprocate love to them, and also begged them not to marry a partner they don’t love.
The lady warned that forcing a marriage with such partner could be deadly.
The lady identified as Somadina Miracle took to her Twitter handle to share the heartbreaking story of her aunt who committed suicide as a result of lack of love in her marriage.
Miracle noted that her late aunt, who had two kids for her estranged husband, was the financier of the family as the husband took no financial responsibility in the house because he never loved her.
She added that despite threatening the man with a divorce, he didn’t budge as he went ahead and they finally dissolved their four-year marriage which led the woman into depression.
As it that was not enough, three days after their divorce, the man married their neighbour, took their two kids and relocated to Jos in Plateau State. Miracle said this further compounded her aunt’s woes as nothing made sense to her after the estranged husband’s action.
The woman eventually took her own life a few days ago according to the Twitter user.
In a series of tweets Miracle wrote:
“My aunt just committed suicide all because of marriage without Love. She got married to this guy 4 years ago after dating him for as long as I can remember. He does nothing substantial, she pays the rent bought the car for him, funded the wedding and gives him money.
“We know he does not love her enough to marry her and we believe it was forced on him cause she’s a stubborn and don’t agree. He cheats on her with different women and girls which she kept on complaining to family and she was advised to focus on her life and kids (a 3 years old boy and 9 months old baby girl) after he refused to listen to advice to stop cheating on his wife.
“She’s very beautiful and has it all when it comes to that. Last month he made an attempt on her 18 years old sister living with them and that broke her heart. She filed for divorce thinking it will make him sit up and be sober for his actions but no he went ahead with it and they dissolved the marriage, it wasn’t up to 3 days after that he married the neighbor and took the 2 kids and ran away to Jos. Which led to her shock and depression.
“She lost herself deep into depression, nothing ever made sense to her, she stopped eating and speaking to anyone. We all advised and kept praying for her, and last two nights she couldn’t take it anymore she took the rat killer medicine at home and it killed her.
“She’s a good singer, full of life, always happy and laughing. I could still hear her laughter and her sweet voice. Please if you don’t love someone don’t marry them and if you know you are not loved enough for marriage don’t force it on the guy or the lady. Thank you”
