After Bimbo Akintola shared that she remains unmarried because the person she truly loved passed away and she hasn’t found anyone worthy to take his place, a troubling comment surfaced: “If you don’t marry and die in this world, it is considered one of the greatest sins in the eyes of God.”
This statement imposes unnecessary guilt on those who choose not to marry or experience loss. It weaponizes religion to shame personal decisions, disregarding the complexities of love and individual journeys. Such remarks foster a toxic culture that pressures people into unions for fear of judgment, rather than promoting thoughtful and meaningful relationships.
