News of a 56-year-old lawyer who tragically lost her life after a domestic violence incident with her husband — just weeks after being called to the bar — shook many online. Sadly, one insensitive comment read: “Being a breadwinner as a woman in an African home… your husband will resent you.” This statement dangerously normalizes abuse by shifting blame to women’s success instead of condemning violence. No one deserves harm for achieving greatness or providing for their family. Domestic violence stems from insecurity and control, not gender roles. Success should inspire pride, not provoke resentment — and abuse is never justified.
