A Nigerian man has reportedly divorced his wife of 19-years after she allegedly engaged in the trending ‘Dancing For Husbands‘ challenge which has gained popularity among Northern wives.
Over the Eid Mubarak holiday, Arewa women engaged in the challenge which involves dancing for their husbands and sharing the video on social media with the hashtag #DancingForHusbands Challenge.
Although the challenge has provided beautiful content that was enjoyed by social media users, a number of Muslim men have condemned Arewa women for the challenge.
They said only a husband should see such video as it’s immoral for the wife to share it with the world, warning that Arewa women should desist from imitating the “ways of others.”
