1 / 6

Gender activist Magdalene Adamu Musa says she was shocked by a viral photo showing a Nigerian woman kneeling to accept an engagement ring. She argues that such a gesture implies desperation and believes the man should be the one kneeling. Magdalene, who describes her own relationship as healthy, adds that marriage isn’t an achievement to be marked by that tradition. She says she’d rather call off an engagement than bow down for a ring. Her comments have ignited online debate over cultural norms, gender equality, and what a modern proposal should look like.
