2026 - A Kenyan teacher has stirred conversation online after posting a
throwback photo with a female student - who later became his wife.
Taking to Facebook, the teacher shared before-and-after
pictures with his partner, proudly highlighting their journey.
But the post quickly ignited controversy, with many netizens
questioning the ethics of marrying a former student.
Critics raised concerns about grooming and even called on
the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) to investigate the matter.
However, some social media users defended the couple,
arguing that the photo alone is not proof of an inappropriate relationship.
They suggested that the two may have only started dating
long after she had completed her studies.
“Maybe at that time, there was no relationship. It was just
a normal teacher and student relationship. I know many have good relationships
with teachers back in school,” one user commented.
Another added: “A photo is not proof of marriage or
intimacy. They took the first photo as teacher and student. We also took photos
with female teachers. Are we married to them?”
While some see it as a love story that blossomed naturally, others insist it raises ethical questions.
