While expressing her opinion on WhatsApp about the incident, Olawale Zulkha, a student of Lagos state university, asserted “The woman might be at fault but these are things that deal with one’s mental health. You don’t know the real effect until you experience such. The prayer is, maybe not marry a spouse that will turn us into a semi mad person.
I think if people deem their marriage as more of a religious duty, there will be less problems even if one’s spouse misbehaves” she noted.
