Would Women Leave Their Marriages If They Had Financial Freedom?
Reality TV star Tochi has caused a storm online with a bold claim about marriage and money.
In a post on his Instagram story, he suggested that if 100 married women were given ₦100 million each to start their own lives, 95 of them would leave their husbands within two weeks.
Is Money the Only Thing Keeping Some Marriages Together?
Tochi’s statement got people talking making some believe he has a point as many women stay in unhappy marriages because they depend on their husbands financially.
If they had their own money, they might choose to walk away others, however, argue that true love and commitment go beyond finances.
If a woman leaves just because she gets rich, was the marriage ever strong in the first place?
Here are some people’s reactions:
“Money doesn’t destroy a good marriage; it only exposes a bad one.”
“If a woman leaves after getting money, maybe she was never happy in the first place.”
“This is such a toxic mindset. Marriage should be about love and respect, not control.”
Some even turned the argument around, asking: “If men had that kind of money, would they stay faithful?”
While money is important, relationship experts say that trust, communication, and emotional connection matter just as much.
What do you think? If financial independence became the norm, would it change the way marriages work?
