Woman shares husband's refusal to legalise their marriage

According to a social media post, the woman fell pregnant by the man several years ago. The man blatantly refused a legal court marriage to the woman, who was unemployed at the time, and so the couple eventually had only a traditional wedding, which the woman and her family were not entirely happy with.

The woman shared that her father stepped in to support and take care of her, ensuring she got a good job at a multinational company, and things started to look up for her.

She shared that she never forgave her husband for not wanting to legalise their union. As a result, she never listed him as her next of kin or put anything in his name, including the three properties they have – which are in their three children’s names.

“Just last month my company decided to transfer me to another branch in Texas, and the company is willing to pay for my entire family to relocate with me.

“My husband’s business is not doing too well, and he’s willing to relocate too, but we have no legal certificate to show that we are married. Now he wants us to go to court to legalise our marriage, and I have said “no”. My dad has threatened to disown me if I ever go with him to court,” the woman shared.
