A Muslim groom from Kogi State, Nigeria, publicly kissed his bride on their wedding day, igniting a flurry of reactions from netizens.
The couple, both hailing from Kogi State, have officially tied the knot, and the groom’s public display of affection has become a hot topic of discussion.
Traditionally, such public displays of affection are uncommon in Northern Nigeria, where cultural norms typically discourage couples from kissing in front of others, especially with parents and elders present. The act, seen by many as a breach of traditional customs, has sparked a debate on social media and within the community.
Supporters argue that the groom has every right to kiss his wife, emphasizing that she is officially his spouse.
They see nothing wrong with the display, suggesting it’s a natural expression of love and affection. However, others believe that this act goes against long-standing traditions and cultural expectations, creating discomfort and raising eyebrows, particularly among the older generation.
