A 26-year-old Nigerian woman has sparked conversations online after explaining how her husband allegedly lied about his age before they got married.

She disclosed that after they dated for some while, they then got married in December (not disclosing the exact year), and during their courtship, the husband reportedly told her he was 34 years old.
Man lies about his age before marriage
However, while going through his personal documents after the marriage, she found his international passport, which showed that he was born in 1972, meaning he lied and subtracted about 20 years from his real age.
She said:
"I have been crying since I stumbled on this. When I confronted him, he said age is just a number and that he didn't know he was up to 51 years old. Can you imagine?"
She expressed concern about the future. She added:
"In 10 years, he will be 64 years old, while I will be 36 years old. He has apologised but will I ever forgive myself for making this type of mistake?"
She also disclosed that she had previously rejected a 37-year-old suitor, only to later marry a man significantly older without knowing the truth.

Despite her husband apologising, the woman admitted that she felt deceived and struggled to come to terms with the situation. She questioned whether she would ever forgive herself for the decision and asked X users for advice on whether she should consider divorce.
