According to reports, the couple was preparing for their traditional ceremony when the man’s family decided to conduct a virginity test on his bride-to-be.

Many social media users have come out to express their views on the matter, with some criticizing the man’s family for being backward and others applauding them for doing the right thing.

The debate on social media has centered around the idea that having a tattoo does not necessarily mean one is promiscuous or immoral.

In fact, tattoos have become a common form of self-expression and are widely accepted in many cultures worldwide. However, in traditional African societies, tattoos are often associated with promiscuity and immorality.

This cultural difference has led to a heated discussion on social media, with some arguing that the man’s decision to cancel the wedding was justified based on his cultural beliefs.

Others have criticized the decision, arguing that it is unfair to judge a person based on their appearance and that the man’s family should have been more accepting of their daughter-in-law to be.

Regardless of the opinions on social media, the incident has shed light on the issue of virginity tests, which are still prevalent in many African communities. Virginity tests have been widely criticized for their invasive nature and lack of scientific basis, and many have called for them to be banned.
