Actress Moji Olaiya says she quit her marriage because her husband was
physically abusive. She said this in an interview published on Vanguard on
Saturday 04 January 2015. Read the excerpts below...
How have
you been coping after separation from your husband?
A woman needs a man in her life. There are things a man would do that you
cannot do as a woman but I have no regret leaving my marriage.
Why did
you say you have no regrets?
I have no regret leaving my marriage but I regret not being under a man’s
roof. It is not respectable in this part of the world. But I try to comport
myself even as a divorced woman and as a typical Yoruba woman and to avoid
scandal. I have a daughter to protect and cater for.
What was
the cause of your failed marriage?
The marriage was not working so I had to quit. My partner went as far as
abusing me so I had to leave to protect myself and my daughter.
You mean
domestic violence?
Yes, domestic violence is just the right word.
Any man
in the picture at present?
I am in a relationship but I am yet to be legally separated from my
husband.
Were you
legally married?
Yes. So at the right time I will reveal who the man is. I need somebody
beside me.
