Chebet Ronoh, a popular online creator, recently said something that got a lot of people talking. She said, “Marriage hubamba mafala,” which means “Marriage is for fools.”
This short statement quickly went viral, dividing opinions between different generations.
Many young people, especially Gen Z, agreed with Ronoh. They believe that marriage is not always the best choice and sometimes can be limiting or unfair.
Some said Ronoh was just being honest about the problems many face in marriage, like staying together for money or appearances, not love.
One TikTok creator, Wakaniaru University, supported Ronoh’s view.
She said some people get married just because they want financial support or to show off things they can’t afford alone.
To her, marriage excites fools because it traps people in unhappy situations.
On the other hand, many people, especially millennials, defended marriage.
They shared happy stories about their weddings, anniversaries, and families.
To them, marriage is not foolish; it is a serious choice they have made with love and care.
They believe marriage helps them build strong families and face life’s challenges together.
