A post on Facebook recently ignited debate about marriage, reproduction, and personal autonomy. The original statement challenged a deeply ingrained cultural expectation by asserting that marriage does not automatically come with an obligation to have children. For many, it was a bold defense of individual choice in a society where childbearing is often treated as mandatory.
Amid the reactions, one comment stood out for echoing and intensifying the sentiment: “Na my type be this, nothing first concern me with children… I fit marry barren woman self.”
While some praised the comment as progressive and supportive of women who face infertility or choose to be child-free, others found it shocking and dismissive of cultural and familial values. The exchange highlights a growing tension between traditional expectations and modern views on marriage, consent, and reproductive choice. It underscores how conversations about children are no longer just private decisions but public battlegrounds for shifting social norms.
