Published on July 17, 2021, a marital drama unfolded online, exposing the harsh realities of marriage. It's a dream shared by many women to be married to a man who remains faithful, but times are changing, and marriage is losing its significance.
With the rise of side chicks and cheating scandals, women are left to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives. Marriage counsellors reveal that such situations can lead to mental health issues, including depression.
Amira, the first wife of matatu owner and leader Jimal Roho Safi, recently opened up about allegedly undergoing physical abuse at the hands of her husband. Her allegations came as a shock, especially since she had always defended him in public.
Responding to the accusations, Jimal sent a cryptic message, saying, 'Sometimes it's best to keep quiet. Silence can say so much without you ever having to say a single word. God will sort things out. Has he ever failed you?'
Such public displays of marital drama can have a profound impact on those who have not yet tied the knot. Many end up suffering from 'gamophobia,' the fear of getting married and having a family.
