A photo capturing the contrasting emotions of a heartbroken Nigerian groom and his joyous bride on their wedding day has set social media abuzz.
The photo, which surfaced online via a Facebook group “Zambian Explorer,” shows a somber groom glaring at his bride, who stands beside him, smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers.
The viral image, accompanied by a controversial narrative, suggests that the man was compelled to marry due to the lady’s unexpected pregnancy.
Despite his wish to terminate the pregnancy, she adamantly refused, ultimately leading to their wedding.
The controversial photo quickly grabbed attention online, sparking a range of opinions and reactions from netizens.
Many stressed the need to take responsibility for one’s actions, while others strongly opposed the idea of forced marriages, arguing that such unions are likely to fail and cause more harm than good.
