When asked about the marriage, Liviah revealed that she was married for three years before ending the marriage.
“This can encourage someone who is in a toxic relationship and experiencing domestic violence,” he added.
The post quickly went viral, causing mixed reactions among social media users, many of whom talked about marriage, independence, and self-esteem.
Opinions of people in social networks
Some commentators sympathized with her journey, suggesting that her brilliance symbolized freedom from a toxic relationship that may have weakened her spirit.
However, others were more skeptical, saying that the change was less about empowerment and more about seeking attention.
Although opinions differ, the post has sparked a wide-ranging conversation about how social expectations, and sometimes, the wrong kind of collaboration, can affect women’s self-esteem.

“That’s why I talk to girls and advise them to find something for themselves before rushing to early marriages. Learn how to live alone and love yourself before inviting someone into your life.”

“When you’re single, you have to dress well, so you attract more men. Do you know that many women who leave their marriages are now dating other women’s husbands? And they are here saying that I don’t go there for marriage, while you are with eight women.”

“Even I will use you when I’m a cow and I’m single. Wee, it’s not easy to be a cow, especially if you fall into the mother’s house, that’s what she says. She knows all the witches in the village, those who are with the Kababa and those who have a side plan. Very difficult to make it with such a family.”
For many, her photos tell a story of resilience and rediscovery: a reminder that shedding the face of pain can sometimes be the first step toward regaining one’s light.
