The statement “If we have no child after 10 years of marriage and the fault is from my husband, I will suggest getting pregnant by another man or everybody goes their way”—reportedly made by a Nigerian woman—has sparked widespread reactions online due to its controversial stance on infertility and marital commitment.
This view touches on deeply personal and culturally sensitive issues, especially in Nigerian society where childbearing is often seen as a cornerstone of marriage. While some people sympathize with the woman’s frustration after a decade of childlessness, many criticize the suggestion as extreme or morally questionable.
Critics argue that proposing to have a child by another man disregards the sanctity of marriage and the importance of mutual consent in resolving fertility challenges. Supporters, however, see it as a realistic expression of agency and a call to reevaluate traditional marital expectations when biological limitations arise.
