Following the tragic news of an army officer who died after his wife allegedly set him ablaze during a domestic dispute in Akwa Ibom, some people used the incident to express their frustration about relationships. One user wrote, “Marriage is just the biggest scam in our era.” The comment likely stemmed from the belief that marriage now brings more pain than peace. However, such a statement unfairly blames the institution instead of the individuals who misuse it. Marriage itself isn’t the problem — the lack of emotional control, communication, and respect between partners is what leads to tragedy.
