Bride’s Parents Strongly Dislike Groom’s Apartment, Gets Wedding Cancelled: “We Don’t Want Her to Suffer”
A young woman identified on Facebook as Maryam Shetty recounted how her wedding was canceled at the suggestion of her parents.
Woman talks about how classism is still a major aspect that destroys many relationships even though people underestimate it
Her parents don’t want her to suffer
Shetty took to Facebook and revealed that before the wedding was called off, the bride’s parents felt that the groom’s house was not suitable for their child’s status.
According to her, her parents don’t like the house her husband is living in and they insist they don’t want her to “suffer”.
Groom and family refuse new home
They then offered the groom a new and better item, but he and his family politely declined the offer from the bride’s parents.
Shetty said that the aforementioned man is not poor because he is an educated man and has a good job.
Here is her post:
“Aisha Ismail you wrote my mind 👌
We are truly facing an epidemic especially in Northern Nigeria, often perpetuated by parents; classism.
Recently, a wedding was called off based on the fact that the bride’s family felt the house she was going to stay in doesn’t fit her status and class. This was a decent new terrace house? They said they wouldn’t want their daughter to go suffer as she grew up in wealth!!!
The said husband to be is a decent, well educated person with a good job and also from an upper class family too; his parents said that’s all they could afford to house her as the house was gifted to him by his father.
The bride’s parents even offered to get a better house that suited her status. However, the husband and his parents stood firm.
Consequently, wedding was called off. She went ahead to marry some socialite who practically does nothing. She basically missed out on a great person.
Sadly, there are too many of such stories.Weddings are cancelled due to some trivialities and misplaced priorities.
Ironically, most of these parents had humble beginnings devoid of the luxuries they place so much importance on. They never allow their kids to navigate life on their own.
Weddings and marriages have become like some competition. It’s mostly a lavish display of wealth, power, materialism, outshining of others etc; it’s truly no wonder marriages last a second.
