How Religion and Societal Expectations Keep Women in Bad Marriages | S7. Ep 20

The greatest philosophers of our time provided us with the quote “Love is Wicked”, and we’ve seen it manifest time and time again. On this week’s episode, we speak to Bola and Ruth, two ladies who have gone through the wringer of divorce. They tell us why they decided to get married, the obvious cracks they ignored before marriage, their journey through these partnerships and the breakpoints that finally led to them calling it all off.
