Monster-In-Law

Nigerian mothers believe that no girl is good enough for their sons. They’ve managed to use the patriarchal system that subdues them, to oppress the women of the younger generation. Especially where their men are involved. If only they put in as much thought and passion into their daughters’ well-beings.

This was Hauwa’s thought as the bridal train scurried around her, putting the finishing touches on her previously dampened make up. Her mother in-law had stormed into the room, calling her all sorts of names and swearing that she, Hauwa had charmed her son.

Hauwa knew the woman did not like her, but on her wedding day she had hoped the woman would show some restraint. She spat at Hauwa, tore at her wedding dress and continued to scream until Olu and his friends came and carried her out.

Hauwa cried as Olu pleaded and promised his mother would not have a say in their marriage.  If it had not been for her younger sister, the chief bridesmaid, who had gone a step ahead and called Bridestead for back-up, the wedding would not have held.

Even after the hell she had been through, Hauwa beamed at the altar, danced like never before at her reception and basked in her new husband’s admiration and love, feeling even more beautiful in her Bridestead wedding dress, than the one her monster-in-law had ruined.
