WOMEN HAVE NO BUSINESS GETTING MARRIED IN THEIR 20S” – TOKE MAKINWA SPARKS DEBATE WITH BOLD TAKE ON EARLY MARRIAGE

Media personality Toke Makinwa has stirred widespread reactions on social media after sharing her opinion that women should not get married in their 20s, arguing that many are still discovering themselves during that stage of life.

Speaking during a recent conversation, Toke said women in their 20s are often still figuring out who they are and what they truly want from life, making marriage a decision that many later come to regret.

According to her, many women who married at a young age would admit, if they were completely honest, that they rushed into marriage before fully understanding themselves.

“Women have no business getting married in their 20s. You don’t even know yourself yet,” she said.

The media personality further claimed that even some women who are still happily married may privately acknowledge that they entered marriage too early and would have preferred to wait before making such a life-changing commitment.

Her comments have since generated mixed reactions online. While some social media users agreed that people should take time to develop emotionally, financially and personally before settling down, others argued that the right age for marriage depends on individual maturity, readiness and personal circumstances rather than a specific age bracket.

The statement has reignited conversations about societal expectations surrounding marriage, particularly the pressure many women face to settle down at a young age.
