Veteran Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has strongly criticised what she described as deep-seated gender bias in marital relationships, calling for greater respect and equality between husbands and wives.

In a passionate video message that has gone viral, Edochie condemned practices where women are expected to endure mistreatment or inequality in marriage while men face little accountability. “Marriage is not a prison. Women deserve respect, love, and equal partnership,” she stated.

The actress urged society to challenge harmful cultural norms that perpetuate gender imbalance and domestic abuse. Her comments have sparked widespread discussions on social media, with many supporting her stance on marital equity.

Edochie, known for her bold and unapologetic views on social issues, has previously spoken out on women’s rights and family matters.

The message has resonated with many, particularly women advocating for healthier and more balanced relationships.
