A Nigerian man identified as @Prince-dc21 on X revealed that his three‑week marriage came to an abrupt end after his wife decided to leave the home. He explained that, according to a long‑standing family tradition, a newlywed wife is expected to reside with her mother‑in‑law for six months to learn the household customs and relationships.
The bride moved in just one week after the wedding, and initially the arrangement appeared to be working smoothly.
However, the situation changed when the mother‑in‑law began detailing the severe consequences of marital infidelity, citing extreme cases that left the young woman feeling unsafe.
Feeling unable to cope with the constant fear induced by these warnings, the wife quietly packed her belongings and departed without informing her husband or her mother‑in‑law.
When her husband eventually reached out, she confessed that she could not remain in a marriage where she lived in dread because of tradition, emphasizing her desire for a union free from unexplained fear.
After the conversation, she took the additional step of blocking her husband and his relatives on social media.
