A young woman has taken to social media to express her frustration and disappointment after her husband refused to pay back the money she lent him to cover her dowry.

According to her, she had lent her husband the money to avoid embarrassment, with the understanding that he would reimburse her after their wedding. However, once they were married, her husband reneged on his promise, leaving her feeling betrayed and financially strained.
“I lent my husband my money to pay my dowry just to cover up, but he refused to pay back after our wedding,” she wrote. “Please, I need your advice.”
Her plea for advice sparked reactions on social media, with many users offering words of encouragement and support. Some commentators expressed outrage at the husband’s actions, while others shared their experiences of financial hardship in their relationships.
Here are the comments:
