One of the common grounds in both Christianity and Islam is that men and women should marry as husbands and wives for the purpose of procreation.
But this seems to run contrary to the position of Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede, who opined that marriage is not a must.
Yvonne Jegede calls on all singles not to marry by force.
The actress in a post shared yesterday, July 20, 2016 on Instagram says she doesn’t think marriage is mandatory.
She wrote, “Marriage is not by force, I repeat…marriage is not by force. If you cannot see yourself submitting totally to your husband, please let him just find the woman that would, no need to marry. I don’t think it’s mandatory… Peace is good for everyone.

Yvonne Jegede who first became known when she featured on the the TV series Everyday People as well as making an appearance in Tuface Idibia’s African Queen video, once left the country and the Nigerian movie industry Nollywood for a short period.
