A Nigerian woman has taken to social media to express her distress and frustration after her family convened a meeting to discuss her marriage status.

The meeting culminated in an ultimatum: she must get married this year or face being disowned by her family.

The woman shared her plight on TikTok, posting a video featuring her distraught face alongside a caption that explained her situation.

According to her, the family meeting ended with a unanimous decision that she must bring home a husband before the end of the year, or risk being completely cut off from her family.

The post suggests that her family is pressuring her to conform to traditional societal expectations, as she is deemed to be of marriageable age.

However, the woman's reluctance to comply with their demands has led to this ultimatum.

The post has sparked a flurry of responses from concerned individuals who have flooded the comments section with words of encouragement and support. Many have condemned the family's stance, labeling it as outdated and oppressive.

Others have offered words of comfort, urging the woman to stay true to herself and not succumb to familial pressure.

This incident highlights the ongoing struggles many women face in Nigeria, where societal expectations and family pressure can often dictate their life choices.

The woman's courage in sharing her story has sparked a vital conversation about the need to respect individuals' autonomy and choices, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart.
