Marriage Is Only for Well-Behaved Women Willing to Submit, Says Woman
An African woman, Maureen Bahama, has stirred debate with her controversial advice to women about marriage.
In a statement shared on Monday, she urged women who are not willing to be obedient to their partners to remain single. “Marriage is not for every woman. If you’re too big to obey your man, please stay single. Marriage is only for well-behaved women willing to submit,” she wrote.
Bahama’s comments reflect traditional views of marriage, where submission and obedience are often expected of women. However, her statement has sparked conversations about the evolving dynamics of relationships and the role of equality and mutual respect in modern marriages.
While some agree with her perspective, others argue that marriage should be based on partnership and shared responsibilities, rather than a hierarchy of obedience. The debate underscores the ongoing clash between traditional and contemporary views on gender roles within relationships.
