Actress Judy Austin, wife of Nollywood star Yul Edochie, has advised young women not to rush into marriage simply because they become pregnant.
During a livestream on Monday night, Judy cautioned that such decisions often lead to long-term regret, stressing that many young women have had their lives disrupted by early or forced marriages.
In her words:
“As a lady, never marry a man just because you’re pregnant for him you’ll end up regretting it. Early marriage has ruined the lives of many young women.”
Her statement has since sparked widespread discussion online, with some agreeing that marriage should be based on love and compatibility rather than obligation, while others interpreted her message as a reflection on her own personal experiences.
