A lady expressed her confusion after lying to her boyfriend about having just one child when she actually has four. With her boyfriend soon coming to pay her bride price, she’s unsure about what to do. Many comments condemned her dishonesty, while a few wished her well. One comment, however, read, “That’s why you should never marry any lady that has a child. There is always something they will not tell you. Don’t marry them.”
This comment generalizes and stigmatizes all single mothers, implying they are deceitful and untrustworthy. It unfairly judges women with children as a group, disregarding their individual experiences and values. Every person, regardless of their parental status, deserves respect and a chance at love without being stereotyped. Relationships should be built on trust and understanding, not assumptions about someone’s past.
