Ghanaian Gospel singer Selina Boateng has cautioned against the societal practice of pressuring individuals into marriage, stressing that it often leads people into unions they are neither mentally nor emotionally prepared for. Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Okay FM, the award-winning singer explained that marriage requires a high level of maturity, particularly in handling challenges that may arise between partners.According to her, many people enter marriage without being fully prepared to deal with issues such as a nagging partner, an abusive spouse, or even one who struggles with alcoholism. "It takes very matured people to deal with some of these things in marriage," she emphasized.
Selina Boateng further noted that those who mount pressure on others to marry are sometimes the ones battling with unhappy marriages themselves.
She stated that such people often hide their struggles, presenting their marriages as perfect, while encouraging others to rush into wedlock.
