A Wife Is Just A Titled Girlfriend” — Nigerian Man’s Controversial Take On Marriage Goes Viral

A Facebook user, Chibuzor Kennedy Ekwealor, has stirred controversy by claiming that a wife is not truly a part of a man’s family but rather a “glorified girlfriend.”

He made this remark on Monday, August 4, while responding to a post shared by a U.S.-based grandfather who asserted that a woman does not automatically become part of the family she marries into.

“Family consists of those connected to you by blood. A wife is merely a glorified girlfriend — we don’t get intimate with family,” he wrote.
