A South African man has started a debate about appropriate behaviour after he proposed to his girlfriend at her father's funeral.




In a video shared to TikTok, the man goes on both knees and produces a ring in the middle of the funeral in South Africa to ask the grieving woman to marry him.

Mourners at the service in South Africa cry out in shock as the boyfriend proposes in front of his girlfriend's father's casket.




The girlfriend then breaks down in tears, although it is not clear from the footage whether this is due to the emotion of the moment or her being upset at his timing.




The video uploaded by M Mojela has now been watched by thousands of people on TikTok, with the caption reading: "Proposing to the deceased’s daughter right at the funeral. Wiping the tears there and there."


Many have called him out for being insensitive.

See the HUGE smile on her face forgetting instantly the demise of her Father.

what some women sees as the greatest achievement in their lifetime is that ring on the finger.

Why won't she smile when she has finally and successfully caged an innocent soul in the name of marriage just like death caged her dad .

Misplaced priority. that's not the best place and time. Mtchewww

same gender again......was any place design to propose?

Deeply inappropriate. What would it have cost him to wait until next week? Smh.

If the definition of "doing the right thing at the wrong time" was a person..

I YAM MAD?

God knows that nothing will make kneel down to propose to anyone.

Baba been dey wait mk her Papa kpef before he propose. See as she dey shine teeth like who just worn a lottery.

Obviously the dead man was the obstacle... the police should look into the causes of the man's death... smiling when people are mourning... that is a motive

Let's be hopeful that she comes from a good family without "village people", because if she has village people with evil' mind in the funeral ground, then their marriage has ended even before it began.
