There is a controversy online over the case of a Zambian woman accusing her eight-year-old lover for not proposing to marry.
On the 10th local time, foreign media including Fox News of the United States reported that Goma, 26, from Ndola, Zambia, sued her 28-year-old lover Salariki.
According to the media, the two have been dating for nearly 10 years and have promised to marry.
They also have a child they are raising together, and they have delivered a dowry on the premise of marriage.
"I'm fed up with Salariki not taking our relationship seriously and not proposing," said Goma, who stood in court. "I have the right to know the path I am going forward and my future."
In addition, they revealed that they have also confirmed that their lover is communicating with other women.
In response, Mr. Salariki said, "Goma didn't pay much attention to me because she wasn't close with her parents," and said, "I want to marry Goma, but I don't have the financial room to get married yet."
Goma's begging to close the situation continued, but in the end, the judge sent the two back, saying, "Because we are not legally married, there is nothing we can do at this time."
As the story became known through local media and social media, netizens continued heated discussions with their own philosophy-based love advice.
