a court marriage for no reason.

My parents tried talking to him, I cried and begged him severally to
legalize his marriage with me but he stood his grounds not to wed
me in a court.

I involved his family members to help me beg him but they said, he’s old enough to make his decisions.
He even refused to do a white wedding either because my church
requested for a court certificate, so we ended up doing only traditional marriage.

I later got tired and gave up on the matter. I was hurt and broken
but I resolved to marry him like that just to save myself and my
family the shame of having a baby outside wedlock.

My dad was angry and disappointed in him but he didn’t care and

independent woman with or without him.

He’s been tagging me everywhere as a bad wife who is not loyal to
her husband, spoiling my family also.
His family members have been calling me trying to persuade me
but I told them I’m old enough to make my decisions also and I
