Marriage Puts More Pressure on Women – Uzor Arukwe

Nollywood actor Uzor Arukwe has said he is not an advocate for marriage, arguing that women often bear more responsibilities and pressure in marital relationships.

Arukwe made the remarks during an interview on the In My Opinion podcast, where he was asked whether society had oversold the idea of marriage to women.

The actor said marriage often places greater demands on women, who are expected to shoulder more responsibilities within the union.

He also noted a shift in societal attitudes, saying a growing number of women no longer see marriage as the sole measure of their worth.

According to him, more women are making independent decisions about marriage and family life despite societal expectations.
