IBADAN, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – A viral video of a groom slapping his bride over her refusal to kiss him when a cleric told them to do so in church, has elicited opinions from social media users.
Before the slap, the groom appeared to lean closer to his wife as if trying to give her a kiss. But he didn’t eventually kiss her and settled for a slap.
The unexplainable moment was captured in a video shared by @esthernice2 on TikTok.
It is not clear what may have inspired his action as the audio of the video was not understandable and the clip didn’t exceed 17 seconds.
However, mixed reactions have since trailed the viral video with some tweeps demanding to know what happened.
A tweep, @chalinerados said: “Please what’s happening here and why the hell is she still standing there and not already disappeared from that scene??? 😫😫😫”
@PreshHeavens said she was sure that wasn’t the first time.
“E sure me say no be the first time she dey chop slap from am cuss wtf”
“Yea her reaction (lack of reaction in this case) shows that it’s a regular occurrence, it didn’t come as a shock to her at all,” @chalinerados replied @presh_heavens
@jimoh_peter tweeted: “Violence wedding… shey you still wan rush marry or make I they go?
“She will regret this for the rest of her life.. it’s obvious she’s one of those girls from the poor side like us who was either pushed by friends or parents. But how could you even condole this till this point of marriage.. oh maybe the same tales was told “he will change” 🤣🤣”

@ish_mondd demanded to know if the wedding guests are mad because he doesn’t understand why they are rejoicing over the slap.
“Na only me lost for this video? Wetin cause to slap, why everybody Dey rejoice? Is everybody madd?”
“Don’t the lady have brothers? Cos as for me, hel| will receive a soul that day,” @itsuchey tweeted.
@spicey_mabel who was surprised about the groom’s action wrote: “😂😂😂😂😂 I don conclude finish, nothing go fit make me marry Abeg ooohh”
@OAO_SUPREME said he isn’t surprised because it might be what the lady wanted, then went on to reveal that his friend’s girlfriend enjoyed being slapped and beaten.
“I’m not surprised bcos one of my guys’ girlfriend told my guy in my presence that; “baby, Whenever we are alone in the room, I want u to slap/flog me with ur belt & when I’m about to cry, just take me to the bed & HMM me” I was totally flabbergasted that day! And since then, That’s how my guy normally does whenever he wants to have an emergency HMM🥰🥰 and the girls is not complaining!
“So, I think the same thing goes to this couple.”
