 Lady calls off wedding over domestic Abuse Ada Uburu👇👇👇 Hello Guys!!!I never wanted to bring this here but I have to, I am a type of person who likes to keep my relationship away from social media but this is for clarification purposes.  This was my secondary school classmate who I thought I knew to an extent. On December 28, 2020 he did the 1st and 2nd stage in my family marriage list which bride price happened to be on the 2nd stage which he paid.

In Catholic church we do not believe in divorce but there is something called seperation from bed and board and nullification -  Catholic priest urges women to run away from abusive marriages 'If your husband is beating you, he will kill you one day. He will kill you one day. Police may arrest him, after a while they leave him. He may even leave long and remarry and if he remarries, another wicked woman, the children you suffered for, will be maltreating the children. Runaway. There is nothing pious, nothing spiritual about staying in a marrriage and you are dying gradually. If he doesn't kill you instantly, he will damage your vital organs and you will die at the age of 60 or fifty something. They will think it is sickness that killed you. Run away I have told you. This is the Catholic church. We don't believe in divorce but there is something called separation from bed and board and there is something called nullification''
