A lady has taken to social media to share how her wedding was called off three weeks before the due date over her refusal to address her 11-year-old sister in law as ‘aunty’
The post, shared on Facebook by a relationship adviser, Adefemi Taiwo Damilola, garnered the attention of many who debated the matter.
According to the bride-to-be, it all started when she asked her fiancé’s 11-year-old niece, Temilade, to help her zip up her dress.
She had called the girl by her first name, which didn’t sit well with the mother-in-law, who requested she address Temilade as ‘Aunty Temilade’ as a sign of respect.
The bride, who revealed she was a master’s degree holder and nearly two decades older than Temilade, argued that it was inappropriate to call a child ‘Aunty.’
However, her mother-in-law reportedly insisted that all family members, regardless of age, should be addressed with ‘Aunty’ or ‘Uncle’ as part of tradition.
The disagreement escalated when the bride-to-be also greeted another niece casually, prompting further complaints about disrespect.
Her fiancé, who took his mother’s side, accused her of allowing her pride to get in the way when she refused to comply.
The dispute ended with the mother-in-law sending the bride out of the home of her husband to be, calling off the wedding, and the fiancé blocking her on all social media platforms.
