Busari noted that the Nigerian/African tradition of pressuring ladies into marriage, has become a problem in and of itself.

The drama began when a Twitter user shared a tweet, advising ladies to get a man before hitting age 30.

According to him, ladies aged 26 and above tend to lose their chance to get married as they get older.

Sadly, the average Nigerian girl may not see things the way Busari does. Nigerian young ladies have been so pressured to fulfill what now seems to be their familial responsibilities, that they rush blindly into abusive marriages and end up paying the ultimate price.

No escape for lady married to violent police husband

As is the case for most women who end up in abusive marriages, there is no escape for this who physically abuses her.

An intervention from brother, Moreki Mo, who tweeted about the violence appeared to be the only resistance the victim could pull.

In the tweet, the cop Bruce Mathebula, reportedly threatened to kill his wife who had already suffered serious injuries to her face.

Responses from followers expressed displeasure over the alleged assault on the South African woman.

A Twitter user even thinks Mathebula deserves to suffer violence equivalent to his wife's experiences. Societal complexes have placed women at the receiving end of widespread violence from their partners.

To fight this, the women have resorted to violent means in defiance of the situation but the reaction has often put them against the law.
