Elsie Okpocha, the former wife of veteran comedian Basketmouth, has raised questions about the essence and necessity of marriage when a husband fails to serve as the primary provider of security and protection for his wife.
The entrepreneur made this observation on Tuesday while reacting to a Facebook post by one Nelly Agbogu. The post detailed a woman who revealed that she does not list her husband as her emergency contact because he does not answer her calls.
Sharing a screenshot of the Facebook post, Elsie noted that women endure far greater challenges than what the woman in the story revealed. She wrote: "And sometimes you wonder the essence of marriage…when this is a tip of the iceberg of what women go through, sad!"
Her comments have sparked conversations online about the roles and responsibilities of spouses in a marriage, particularly regarding emotional and physical security.
