A Nigerian lady recounted an emotional chapter of her life on social media, after leaving her marriage about two years earlier.
Through a video, she shared how the formal dissolution of the union took place just seven years after it was initiated.
In a video shared on TikTok, the lady, known on the platform as @miss.ijay, explained that the marriage officially ended when her bride price was returned to her former husband’s family.
She shared her story alongside a throwback video which was made on the same day the repayment took place, marking the complete dissolution of the marital bond.
According to her, the incident which was initially going smoothly, became dramatic when the realisation settled in for her former spouse.
As the dissolution process took place, he reportedly became overwhelmed with emotion and broke down in tears.
The formal return of the bride price, a key traditional step, made it clear that she was leaving permanently.
Despite the emotional display, she maintained that the decision had already been finalised long before that day.
She indicated that the moment was not one of doubt but rather confirmation that the chapter had closed.
In her words
My bride price was paid in December 2016. My bride price was returned in December 2023. This video was made on my bride price return day. My "husband" couldn't stop crying. That was when it actually dawned on him that I was really walking out of the marriage.
