My frnd got married just 2 months ago, ever since then she has never enjoyed d marriage. Y? I asked her. She answered: "I don't love d man (husband) and i was pressurized by my parents to marry him. My hope was to build my love for him, but its not working. Can u belive dat ever since we got married we have never kissed. Am tired. I have no option than 2 disappear." I felt for her. My questions now are; Why shld our parents be making relationship/marital decisions for us? Is it right for them?

i hope the parents can see her sufferings.....now what have they gained? i dont know when parents would learn to allow their children to make their own choices. they made their own choices during their own time, now they want to live the children's lives for them. Some of them do it in the name of preventing the child from making the same mistake they made. wat the heck? it pisses me a lot. i understand that some ladies need to be reminded to get married on time (otherwise they wont), but not to force a man on a woman ( or vice versa). after collecting the bride price, they'll relax in their own house enjoying themselves while the child is left to suffer wit someone (s)he doesn't love. its not fair. pls parents remind us to get married on time but dont push us into fire o!!!!

my parents cant do a thing like that. i really dont knw wat to say. but she should hve stood up for herself. As long as u r of age to get married, u shouldnt b bothered about wat ur parents said. If i were her, i would hve invited my parents to come observe the marriage environment.

D lady shld not be blamed. If am not mistaking, this shld be d 4th man that came 4 her hand in marriage under ha parents supervision. They grand ha severaly 4 her refusal. She has taken d matter 2 d the parents threatening to comit suicide if d marriage is not dissolved.

left to me, she shld just continue making serious threats so dat the marriage wld be ended or she should end it herself. she shld not take her life cos it may land her in hell. likewise she should not stay wit the man since that one is already hell on earth. she shd just find a way & leave. she cld still remarry

U really undastand d situation. Forced marriage favoured their own time not ours. I lost my first love rcently bcos of this nonsense.
But why do u women succumb 2 being forced in2 marriage knowing u'll regret it and come latter 2 complain. Its simply enough tell them no and refuse...
