Popular media personality and actress, Laura Monyeazo Abebe, better known as Moet Abebe, has asserted that marriage is a “scam.”
According to her, women often enter into marriage solely due to societal pressure.
She expressed this viewpoint during a recent conversation with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.
Moet, who revealed that she called off her engagement due to abuse, also said she has noticed that a lot of people are getting married for the wrong reasons.
“Marriage is a scam. Women only do it because of the pressure of the society. If someone is so particular about something, maybe the person is coming from a place of knowledge or experience. I mean, they say experience is the best teacher.
“Apart from that, I noticed that a lot of people are getting married for the wrong reasons. A lot of people are doing it because of the pressure [from the society].” She said.
In other news, controversial media personality, Solomon Buchi, has claimed that unmarried men do not need to consider their financial stability before marriage.
Solomon, who wed in February 2023, expressed his opinion on Twitter that money shouldn’t be a barrier to guys getting married.
He gave the example of his younger sister who married at the age of 22 to a man who had an oil company position but lost it six months later, saying that a man needs a sensible woman who is prepared to face life with him, not money.
