While everyone has the right to wear what they want, personal style choices can sometimes stir strong reactions.

One woman sparked an online debate when she shared her controversial opinion about female family members wearing "revealing" clothing in the presence of other family members' spouses.

Hoping for a change... of clothes

TikTok content creator Mrs Khoabane, who describes herself as "passionate about Christ-centred marriages," took to her account and spoke to the "wifies" about the matter as she shared her opinion.

The TikTokker shared an incident where she spoke to another lady about what to do if female family members dressed inappropriately in front of their husbands, and the option of reprimanding them came into question.

Mrs Khoabane wasn't here for the "revealing" attire and said to app users:

"Why are people walking around with half their bums out in a married woman's house? Make it make sense. For me, it doesn't make sense. It's not because I don't trust my husband. It just doesn't make sense."

@makhanya415 asked the content creator:

"What happened to women not wearing clothes for men? Wearing them for self-love, etc."

@mathenjwa_s stated with a broken heart emoji:

"Don't police women's bodies."

@elisakgare told the online community:

"I am currently renting where I live, and there are people who live with their partners. I love wearing shorts. However, when I go outside, I change into something decent."

@shimielizi shared with a laugh:

"If that marriage is giving you that much insecurity, my sister, that marriage is the problem, not how other women dress."

@noluthando_khabazela17, who sided with the woman, added in the comments:

"I think as a wife, you have the right to reprimand. It has nothing to do with insecurities. This is my house and you will respect it."

@asiphe2107 said to the public:

"This topic isn't about not trusting one's husband but boundaries and being decent. The same way we don't wear jeans at interviews, yet there's nothing wrong with jeans."
