When you Marry From Another Country It Comes With So Much Struggle - Kator Terwase

A former Big Brother Africa winner recently opened up about her husband attempting to take her children by accusing her of being mentally ill. Instead of showing empathy or addressing the issue, one comment dismissed her struggles, stating, “That’s what happens when you choose other people over your own people,” implying that marrying outside her culture was the problem.

This response is both insensitive and misguided. It shifts blame onto her choice of partner, completely ignoring the serious nature of the situation. Such a mindset not only perpetuates harmful stereotypes but also disregards the emotional and legal implications for the mother and her children. Rather than offering support, comments like these fuel division and unnecessary prejudice.
