He also told her she would not have a job, make friends, or go out, as she would be a stay-at-home wife who must take him as her “lord and personal savior.”

“No social media, no job of my own. My love is meant to revolve around him. I should be obsessed with him, idolize him, and see him as my lord and personal savior.”

“In the marriage, I’m not meant to do the things that make me happy; I get to do only the things that make him happy—because he paid my bride price and I’m his wife. I should just sit at home and be a good wife for him.”
