She claimed that if she had sought a divorce after only a few months of marriage, she was afraid of what people would think.
Foluke Daramola-Salako, a well-known Nollywood actress, has explained why she decided to stay in an abusive marriage with her first husband, Tunde Sobowale.
He was abusive on the night of their wedding, according to Foluke, who was his wife for three years. She said this in an interview with TVC.
She claimed that if she had sought a divorce after only a few months of marriage, she was afraid of what people would think.
When she finally ended the marriage in 2008, she claimed that some people continued to make fun of her without realizing what she had endured at the hands of her husband.
The 45-year-old actress, who later remarried Kayode Salako, her second husband, claimed,
“My first marriage, on the night of my wedding was when I noticed abuse. But because of what people will say… And God has already orchestrated it because my wonderful kids are from the marriage.
“When I finally decided to step out [of the marriage], people did not understand why I stepped out. But I understood that I needed to go. A lot of people did not receive it well, but if I hadn’t stepped out, if I had died there, by now I would have been a forgotten case.
“So, it is better for people not to accept my reality or my truth but I accept my own truth than for me to lose my life in the process of trying to prove to the world what I’m going through.”
