"Dear goldmindnews
My name is Bolaji, a 42-year-old man who has been married for 12 years now. My wife, Tinu, has been a very loyal woman who has been by my side through thick and thin. Anytime I am low financially, she would be the one to run the home with money from her business, even as far as paying the school fees of the children.
When we decided to build
our own house, Tinu contributed almost 30% of the money we needed and
today, we are proud owners of our house. I love my wife so much and I
had vowed never to leave her no matter the circumstances but my family
is insisting she must leave my house over an incident that she had no
control over.
It happened that five
months ago, a gang of armed robbers stormed our area in Ikorodu, Lagos
State, and carried out a house to house raid. When they got to my house,
they robbed us of our valuables and after that, they said they were
going to rape my wife.
When
my family heard what happened, instead of being sympathetic with us,
they invited us to our village in Ogun State and came out with the
verdict that my wife must leave as it was an abomination in our family
for a married woman to be raped.
They
also forbade me from having sex with her or eating her food, saying I
would die if I did so unless some expensive sacrifices are made.
I
have resisted them so far, telling them that I love my wife and it was
not her fault that she was raped but they have vowed to place a curse on
me if I do not send Tinu away.
I am really scared and confused on what to do now.
Bolaji."
Dear readers, on Morning Teaser today, we want you to put yourselves in Bolaji and Tinu's shoes. What do you think they should do?
