The incident was brought to public attention when the woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, shared her distressing experience on Facebook.

According to her account, the mother-in-law visited their home for a customary gathering called Umogwu, during which she reportedly created a highly uncomfortable environment for the woman.

Supposedly, the mother-in-law took it upon herself to criticize the woman's upbringing, implying that her own mother had not raised her properly. In a moment of heightened emotional tension, the mother-in-law slapped the woman in an act of confrontation.

Reacting to this provocation with anger and frustration, the young woman admitted to retaliating by slapping her mother-in-law in return.

The aftermath of this altercation reportedly has severe consequences on her marital life, as her husband allegedly initiated divorce proceedings due to the incident.

In her own words:

“Please, I'm pleading for help as they are ganging up against me. Kindly share my story. The situation is becoming unbearable. My mother-in-law, who came for the Umogwu, has disrupted the harmony in my once peaceful home.

“The issue started when we got into an argument and she commented that my mother didn't teach me to show respect to elders when they speak. I retorted by asking her what her own mother had taught her, since she was here causing problems. She immediately stood up and slapped me, and I reacted in defense. She is not my mother and has no right to lay her hands on me.

“As a result, my husband has filed for divorce, stating that he cannot be with someone who raised their hand against his mother. However, he doesn't know the full truth that led to the incident. Now he's telling me to leave the house, and I'm aware that once I leave, he won't look back. He has been a good partner, but look at what his mother has caused.

“I'm urgently seeking advice on what steps to take. Please help.”

Responding to the woman's plea, a Facebook user identified as @Kene_Nnewi, hailing from Nnewi, strongly condemned the woman's actions.

He stated:

“Some of you young women are utterly irresponsible. Your mother-in-law talked to you, and you had the audacity to speak ill of her behind her back? Ina Apu Ara? She slapped you because you raised your voice at her, and you dared to slap her back? Well, you people must be mentally deranged. If you have a disagreement with your mother-in-law, don't argue back. Wait until your husband returns, go to your room, sit down with him, and explain what transpired. Let him handle it as the head of the family. If I return home to find out that my mother slapped you, and you dared to retaliate… you'll only have two options to choose from: the morgue or a coma…”
