Is it a crime to fall in love? That is exactly the question that Mrs.
Folasade Esther (surname withheld by us) has asked herself a million
times.
She has been seeking an answer after her heartthrob, who works with an
oil company in Akwa Ibom State, reportedly turned his back on her and
their two children to marry a lover he met on Facebook. Daily Sun
gathered that when Folasade, a physically challenged lady, got married,
most people thought it was a marriage made in heaven.
Unfortunately, the one-time happy union later turned to hell on earth.
Although the bride counts herself blessed for having two lovely
children, she does not hide the fact that the six-year-old marriage had
brought her more tears than joy.
Folasade said her husband, who she met 15 years ago in Lagos, suddenly
broke his marital vows after battering her for years. The proof of her
agony could be seen on her body, full of indelible scars from bruises
allegedly inflicted on her by her husband. Folasade said she bore her
sorrows in uncomplaining meekness, casting her hopes on the Christian
assurance that all would be well again.
