The age at which people get married is always a topic of concern to many Ghanaians.
Top Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalada Ekeinde, spoke on her marriage and how she was able to walk down the aisle at age 18 in a YEN.com.gh report that went viral in April this year.
According to her, she was already a millionaire at the time because she started working at 15.
The mother of four said that she wouldn’t advise a lady to marry someone who isn’t financially stable because that would be slavery.

Advice on marriage
In another love story, a woman has asked her colleague women to support their husband should they propose to marry second wives.
She discouraged women from fighting each other because of men and instead encouraged them to fight over better things like workspaces and education.
Men on social media agreed with her sentiment, while most women believed that there are men who prefer marrying one wife and do not cheat.
