A Nigerian woman, Quenny Ogechukwu, shared her sad experience after leaving her abusive marriage of four years.

She narrated how her husband had maltreated her even during their courtship, but she decided to marry him because she was scared of being mocked.

On her Facebook page, she shared what she went through at the hands of her husband during their marriage.

She said:

“Yesterday, 4th April, 2025. I mustered the courage to leave an abusive marriage, again. I'm broke, scared and uncertain about what the future holds for me moving forward but for now I don't think there's anything more scary than living with a man who thinks it's ok to pour hot tea on my face because he's angry, a man who thinks it's ok to put his hands tightly on my throat and choke me so much that his fingers dig into my skin and make a mark; just because I'm "rebellious" (according to him), a man who threatened to kïll me and go to jail but "he will make sure that I'm not alive to see him going to jail", a man who slaps me and throws weapons at me just because he's angry or there's a disagreement.
