"I don't fancy marriage and would not fancy it. My past experience with men didn't start on a good note. Neither did it end on a good note. That aside, growing up in a broken home, I wouldn't also want to go through the challenges my mother faced," she said.

"Preventing that is as well as preventing marriage. We can't predict men," she added.

The young lady further stated that she believes there is more to marriage than the ceremony.

"For the majority of the women who go into marriage, their major concern is about the ceremony, how they will look, how elegant they will appear, it's just about the ceremony," she stated.
