Reacting, @callmebrowni wrote; Why did she lie? You don’t build marriage on lies. To her it might be nothing, but to the guy he will see it as if she can lie about this then could have as well lied about many other things

@KingJemx commented ; Why did she lie? The husband is well within his rights to return her cos the marriage was contracted on deceits.

@ChukwuSomma replied; I know but other measures would have been used to restore peace first before ever considering divorce. But the guy no send again

@mijenwadecoy; The reason she was sent packing is because she lied. Please don’t blame it on the virginity. If she had told the truth we won’t be having this conversation.

@PrinceMiracle22; Wait, who is to be blamed now?

@ChukwuSomma; The girl. But the man’s decision was too harsh

@Fragrance_Scent; Don’t build any kind of relationship on lies. It always backfires. My friend’s marriage crashed because he lied to his wife that he doesn’t smoke. Weeks after wedding she found him smoking. Be real. The one who wants you wants you.
