faisai I don't get it. When you say everyone "know" that he marry the woman for her family's money... How do they "know" it? Is it from the guy's mouth or are they just speculating it? I am not saying the money isn't the reason behind the marriage but why can't it...

Are You Corruptible?

JosephP @JosephP (1116) • Jamaica 12 Nov 11
