Elsie said:
“I feel like it’s only in this part of the world that people make a big fuzz about not being married at a certain age…You do not want to rush into this institution called marriage in the name of wanting to get married on time and end up rushing out.”
She explained that as beautiful as marriage is, it takes handwork to make it succeed. She urged people to stop derogatory remarks about why women have not yet married, noting that such conduct is unfair.
