I grew up to know a real African woman is supposed to be in her husband's house before 30years of age, growing up then you see pressures from friends and families telling you to get married so that you can have your kids and rest. Thinking deep about this belief I found out so get married without knowing their true selves. That's knowing what the future holds for them, at the time they can be exposed to find something doing their so called husband's and in law will start one allegation or the other thereby putting enmity between husband and wife which at the end results to what we call Domestic violence
Presently, some women are silently dying because they don't want to be tagged a Bad woman hence leaving your husband's house is a taboo. Having the mentality of who will train the children. They forget that when they die they children will still survive.
How can women say no to domestic violence?
Speak up. It is very necessary to speak up at early stage of any abusive actions, before any domestic violence starts there must be signs. It's important that women notice those signs and speak to appropriate authorities or any trusted person.
Give a space. It is not necessary to give any excuse that can make you stay in an abusive home, take a walk , leave the environment until there are evidence of change from the person.
Get busy. Marriage is not ending of your life, get engaged to something that can give you peace.
Learn from those who has similar experiences. Your life is precious don't wait until it happens to you. Believe in yourself and learn from others.
The trend in my country is husband's pouring dangerous substances on their wives such as fuel, hot oils, hot water , acid .
Will you wait until it gets to this level before knowing your worth as a human. Do you know some lost their life as a result of all this harmful substances?
screenshot of a woman that the husband set ablaze
The true story of this woman's case is still unknown, but some witnesses attested that she has been going through domestic violence in the hands of the husband who decided to set her ablaze.
I'm sure if she stood up and walked out of the abusive home this wouldn't have happened to her. This post is no longer for her because she is no more, anyone in this kind of marriage should think twice , marriage is not meant to be endured though it's not always rosy but it should be enjoyable if there's any disagreement it should lead to abusive.
You are not a punching bag, have a skill ,have plan B, don't depend wholly on man. Your life matters.

Thank you @okere-blessing for sharing this great and powerful messages about the domestic violence, I feel very bad for the woman who suffer in silence.
Your advice to speak up, and also for their protection is very important, we should all treat our wife's like our sister, what you didn't want anybody to do with your sister don't do it with your wife's because everybody have the same blood and also we are all humans...
Please let say no to domestic violence.

I sincerely appreciate this kind words. The anger that comes with domestic violence is not something that anyone should get involved in. I pity anyone suffering in silence because of incapability of taking care of the responsibilities attached in being single.

So sorry for her, what a pity, a lot is going on this days as people are no longer value marriage. Domestic violence is not only on women, men to suffer from domestic violence. Am not here to talk about the particular gender but I know that everybody deserves the best, living a good marriage life. I have seen several video online about domestic violence either from a man or woman. What I noticed about this matter is there's always the reason behind it. For example when a man is beating his wife, most of the time, the man didn't want to but our of anger caused by the woman. Imagine a case where a woman said: if they born your papa well, slap me........
But am not in support in this act. But anyone who suffers from it should seek for help. Sometimes a break might be necessary, and seeking marriage counseling can also be a good option. I believe that supposed to be a lifetime Union. When the couple perform their responsibilities..... Husband loving his wife and wife respecting his husband there will be no room for violence. Thank you for sharing.
