No Woman Should Be Pressured Into Marriage – Chimamanda Adichie

She also noted that when young women, who were expected to get married at a particular time, had not done so, it was simply because they had not chosen the man they wanted to be with.

She stated this on Friday at the 21st Annual Conference of the Women in Management, Business and Public Service as a keynote speaker. The event was held at the Eko Convention Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Speaking during the Question and Answer session after her address, Adichie said it was wrong for older women to ‘keep watch’ on younger women, questioning them on when they would get married.
