Say you will marry him but after school , then when school finish, change your mind that you won't marry!

Rubbish! What kind of parents are those ones sef? It's as if they are looking for the nearest person to offload you on because they don't want to take care of your expenses anymore.

I would advice you to find something of your own doing. A part-time job or Wig making, make up, fashion design etc....something that can get you some money, cos these your parents are just looking for who to take care of their responsibilities.

I asked them for their reasons but they said they want what is best for me. My mom likes him because he is from her tribe and stays close to our house I am the first daughter and they want to want to get married early because they think it will bring honour to the family
It is now clear you are igbo. This can only happen in a place like that. I guess you should just stall the whole arrangement till you grad. Get a job and move out of the house.

A man in his late twenties approached me to marry him. I was not attracted to him neither was he a very friendly person. I told my mom about it and she advised me to think about it carefully.

After much thought, I decided to refuse because he seemed in hurry to marry me even when he barely knew me.

My parents got so angry with me. They said I should say agree because he is God fearing, has a good job( he owns a school) and they like him. I still refused , the man told me to marry him because he likes me and my parents like him. I tried reasoning with him but he told me that in those days girls marry men their parents approve.

My parents have threatened to not support my schooling if I refuse. I have tried to love this guy but I just can't. My parents esp my mom like him too much. I am not allowed to say a bad word against him. I am in my final year at school and 19 year old.

What should I do?


honour your parents so the bible said, am sowi am telling this because all men are liars just d word of God true......do not refuse d request of your parent if your faith is as strong as I am viewing it ryt now go To God in prayers let him speak to your parents



ur parents are not wicked do not despise dem ur blessing is being tied down to dem, you ar young I agree even me won't allow my sis to get married dat age but they are your parents after all

I plan on following your advice. It's surprising since my parents are well to do. I think they are just scared I will bring a poor boy from a tribe they hate and I will say I love him.

TBH, I think there's something you're not letting out. What kind of honour would an early marriage bring? Are your folks still living in the stone age?

Look mami, its your life.. Your future.. Its in your hands. Your folks won't endure a painful marriage with you. I think you should do what makes you u happy. You shouldn't be scared about their threat, you are already in your finals and truth be told, our parents love to make empty threats. They'll eventually come around.
@tonia , re-read this post over and over again.

Don't be scared about their threat!
Your future happiness is at stake here.

So, This is the 21st century. People Marry for love... Not because your Parents say he's good for you. what do they even know? last I checked, maturity isn't a yardstick for wisdom. We've got dumb, Old people too.


Sweety, If you don't love this-this Grandpa, don't marry HIM! you'd only be miserable for life. I mean, You're Still young. Really young... This is the stage Where you should fall deeply in love, Have fun, Explore the world.

Your parents threats are just barks. I guess? they can't kill you. if they're Your real parents, Then, They won't do you anything. except, well, except they're really evil, Shallow and don't care about your own feelings..DON'T MARRY HIM! Pleeeeease! Sheeesh!
I go with u 100%.

Agreement between the two parties only comes from borrowed western cultures. Parental consent is key in this part of the world...
