Sunday, December 08, 2024 – A woman and mother, Progress Okuk, has said that young widows with children should not remain unmarried after the demise of their husbands.
She however added that if a widow chooses not to remarry it
should come from personal conviction and not societal expectations.
“I use to question why
widowed younger women were allowed to stay unmarried. I didn’t think it was a
good thing that a woman who lost her husband in her 30’s would not seek to
remarry; choosing instead to raise her children alone till old age,” she wrote
in a Facebook post on Friday.
But I have also come to
realize that there are certain bonds between a man and woman, that can’t be
explained; even in death.
There is how a man would love
a woman, that it becomes humanly impossible for any other man to fill the void,
whether after a breakup or in his demise.
She imagines it a
desecration, opening her body to another man; consequently, she simply locks
up, for fear of mediocrity or simply in honor of what they shared. There are
indeed different levels to this thing called “love”.
Even though I respect her
choice, I still do NOT accept the idea that a young widow, with children, would
remain unmarried after the demise of her husband.
This should come from a
personal conviction and not societal expectations.
It is NOT good for ‘man’ to be alone.
