“He married my former student as his second wife” – Woman reacts as husband takes new wife after 20 years

Nigerian woman Fatima Yusuf Nuhu has garnered admiration on social media after publicly endorsing her husband’s decision to marry her former student as a second wife.

On November 29, Fatima shared the wedding invitation for her husband’s wedding with her former student, scheduled for December 2.

In a subsequent post on December 3, she revealed that she had learned about the impending marriage just a week before it happened, commending her husband for his openness and honesty throughout the process.

Fatima expressed her endorsement of her husband’s decision, emphasizing the need to address the issue of unmarried women in society by welcoming a second wife into their home.

“Today, on the 2nd of December 2023, my beloved husband expanded our family by taking a second wife.

After two decades of marriage, I discovered that my husband had married my former student, a revelation that came to light just a week before the wedding. While this could have been
shocking, I commend my husband for his openness.

It’s noteworthy that my former student, now my husband’s second wife, has found genuine love. As a mother, witnessing one’s daughter marry a responsible man fulfills the dreams and prayers we hold close.

Understanding this as a mother aslo has granted me inner peace, and despite potential external criticism, I confidently shared my husband’s wedding invitation on my social media platforms.
Given the considerable number of unmarried women today and the societal shifts we experience, I find it fitting to open our home and my husband’s heart to another woman.

Through this message, I aim to advocate and encourage women to support their husbands who choose to marry more than once.

Henceforth, my daughter is willing to embrace any role-be it first, second, third, or fourth wife-knowing her mother respects and accepts her father’s decision to add more wife.

Congratulations to the bride, and I look forward to a harmonious life together with our husband,” the woman wrote.
