A young woman has shared a heartbreaking story about how her marriage has turned into a painful experience after her husband, who travelled abroad, left her under the control of his sister.
According to her, she and her husband sold almost everything they owned so he could travel abroad in search of a better life. Before he left, he asked her to move in with his elder sister for the time being. She agreed, believing it would only be temporary and that it was for the good of their future.
However, seven months into the marriage and six months into her pregnancy, her situation has become unbearable.
The young woman said her sister-in-law gives her very little to survive on, while keeping most of the money her brother sends.
She also revealed that during antenatal visits, she only receives N3,500 through the sister-in-law, which barely covers her transport and medical needs.
The most painful part for her is that her husband fully trusts his sister and often gets angry with her based on what the woman tells him.
According to her, things got worse after the sister-in-law travelled for one month. During that period, her husband sent money directly to her for food — ten thousand naira weekly to feed herself and two nieces living with them.
Now pregnant and emotionally exhausted, she says she feels trapped and unhappy.
The woman says her own family still sends her money occasionally because she cannot afford her basic needs — something she finds deeply embarrassing as a married woman.
She explained that going to stay with her mother isn’t an option because she lives far away, and her husband has strictly forbidden her from leaving his sister’s house.
Before getting married, she was an educated, independent woman who ran her own small online business. But since moving in with her sister-in-law, her life has changed completely.
Her emotional story has drawn sympathy online, with many urging her husband to take responsibility and stop putting his sister in control of his wife’s life and wellbeing.
