A man's controversial take on marriage has sparked a heated debate on TikTok after he shared glimpses of his bachelor lifestyle.

Living the single life

While experts focus on the fact that marriage is a sacred bond built on love, mutual support, and spiritual growth, the content creator's view of marriage as a solution to his domestic challenges sparked criticism.

Many South African women confronted his attitude, pointing out that marriage in modern society requires both partners to share household responsibilities rather than viewing a wife as someone to handle domestic duties.
