Rita Dominic discusses how she responded to “teasing remarks” about her single status
The actress, who tied the knot in 2022, noted that her single status was a “heavily debated” topic on social media. Rita Dominic, an actress from Nigerian cinema, has opened up about being pestered with inquiries regarding marriage.
Stars Rita Dominic used to be a caretaker in the United Kingdom. During the Women of Valour International Women’s Day event in Accra, Ghana, Dominic talked candidly about the difficulties she encountered as a well-known single woman. She talked about how she handled criticism and demands about her decision to hold off on getting married until she found someone she “was concerned enough to marry.”
“My tale of falling in love and eventually being married to the man I cherish at a stage of life that most Africans consider old was vigorously addressed, to my amusement, on social networking pages,” she stated.
She emphasized how individuals who informed her that she was growing older put pressure on her and asked her questions all the time.
“On the one hand, it was encouraging to see how much love, support, and excitement African women had for one another—and it was lovely. And even as we rejoiced, there were hints of opposition from some places, in particular from those who considered themselves to be the “guardians” of African culture,” the speaker stated.
The actress emphasized that no one ought to be assessed in accordance with antiquated social conventions.
“Why submit oneself to judgments made by those who did so to fit their own self-serving agendas at the time? I endured years of being asked, “When are you intending to get married?” “I would ignore it, saying, ‘You are old,'” she remarked. In 2022, Dominic tied the knot with businessman Fidelis Anosike.
