Chidera Eggerue Argues Marriage System Was Built to Benefit Men

Chidera Eggerue Argues Marriage System Was Built to Benefit Men

British-Nigerian author Chidera Eggerue challenged popular views on marriage during a recent podcast appearance. She argued that the institution of marriage was designed to favour men and give even the poorest man a companion. Eggerue added that the idea of sticking with a partner who loses his wealth is a myth. “If he loses his money, he loses me,” she said. She insisted she won’t soften her message just to make men feel better. Her bold stance has sparked debate about expectations placed on women in relationships and the true purpose of marriage.

I think reducing marriage to serving men overlooks how many couples build true partnerships beyond traditional roles.

Couples could discuss expectations upfront, rewrite vows to reflect equal benefit, and avoid outdated gendered assumptions.
