He also addressed people who are already married, admonishing them to seek help or run for their lives if they are unhappy in the marriage.

He added that a divorce is better than dying in the hands of a toxic and abusive partner in marriage.
Divorce is better than "rest in peace". "I want to stay because of my children". That was how a lady was killed. Now, who will take care of the kids? Is it the man that killed you? Or the relatives who love their own families?
