If men can cheat, women should too, Rita Edochie slams gender bias in marriage

Nollywood veteran Rita Edochie criticized a male event MC for making gender-biased remarks about infidelity during a marriage-related event. In a video shared on Instagram, the MC suggested that if a woman cheats on her husband, she would 'die and run mad,' while implying that a cheating man would be forgiven by God due to being 'polygamous by nature.' Edochie expressed anger over these comments, arguing that societal norms unfairly excuse men for infidelity while condemning women. She called for equal treatment in marital accountability, stating that if men are granted leniency, women should also receive the same grace and forgiveness. Edochie emphasized that true justice requires applying the same standards to all genders within marriage.
