After a married woman declined to kiss her husband, claiming she was “not in the mood,” she became embroiled in a family conflict and faced considerable backlash from those around her, including her own parents.

The event, which has ignited a low-key discussion among community circles, took place at a regular family get-together. According to insiders, the husband attempted to kiss his wife in front of family members, but she softly averted her face. She later clarified in private that she wasn’t in the right mood for such an action at that time.

The ensuing events were unforeseen. Instead of the issue being discreetly put aside, the woman allegedly became the focus of harsh criticism from several family members who were there.

It is claimed that her parents, who were among those giving testimony, aligned themselves with their son-in-law and voiced their discontent over what they regarded as a slight against him.

“You are his wife. It is your duty to show affection when he wants it,” One family member reportedly told her.

The unnamed woman did not respond during the reprimand, but later confided in a close friend. As per the friend, she felt profoundly wounded by her family’s failure to support her.

“They all condemned me, even my mother and father. But I simply was not in the mood. Does that make me a bad wife?” she reportedly said.

The event has underscored the strains experienced by numerous women in the context of marriage, especially in societies where the obligations of a wife are frequently placed above individual self-determination and psychological preparedness.

Relationship experts advise that intimacy should be mutual and consensual, rather than performative acts driven by family expectations.

“When affection becomes an obligation rather than a genuine expression of love, it risks damaging the very bond it is meant to strengthen,” says a local counsellor familiar with such cases.

It has been reported that the husband has not made any public comments, but sources close to the family indicate that the tension has lessened since then, although the woman is still affected by her family’s quick judgment.
