A Nigerian man, identified as Austin Deko, has asserted that a woman has “failed as a wife” if her husband doesn’t gain weight within 4 to 5 years of marriage.
He made this claim on Facebook, evidently of the belief that a woman has to ensure that her husband adds weight after five years of marriage.
