A lady has sparked massive reactions across social media after boldly claiming that the surest way for a woman to secure marriage is by becoming pregnant for her partner.
The controversial opinion was shared on X (formerly Twitter) and quickly went viral, drawing attention from thousands of users who questioned the mindset behind such advice.
Controversial Advice That Shocked Many
In her brief but explosive post, the lady insisted that pregnancy automatically pushes a man toward marriage, presenting it as a guaranteed strategy rather than a risky decision.
According to her, once a woman conceives for a man, marriage becomes inevitable.
She wrote: “Best way to tie a man down is to get pregnant. Once you’re pregnant for him, he will definitely marry you.”
Public Reacts Strongly
The statement immediately ignited heated conversations online, with many users disagreeing strongly and warning women against taking such a life-altering step based on assumptions.
Several commenters argued that pregnancy should never be used as a tool to secure commitment, stressing that true marriage is built on mutual love, choice, and responsibility.
