From Bruises to Freedom: Sister’s Transformation After Leaving Abusive Marriage
1 / 5
A young Nigerian woman posted side-by-side photos of her sister showing the impact of an allegedly abusive marriage and her life after separation. The first image captures swollen, bloodied lips after a Christmas Day 2021 assault. The husband even seized her credentials in a bid to control her. They eventually involved the police, recovered the documents, and the sister has since graduated and rebuilt her life. “This is your sign to leave an abusive marriage,” she wrote, using hashtags #saynotoabusivemarriage #ProtectWomenAndChildren #leavetolive #saynotodomesticviolence.
