A man from Bauchi state, Muhammad Ibraheem, called off his wedding due to a genotype mismatch.
Ibraheem and Fatima’s wedding was initially scheduled for November 8, 2024, but was later postponed to November 29.
Ibraheem, who announced the news in a Facebook post on Thursday, November 21, said he was devastated and heartbroken by this sad development as he was looking forward to starting his life with his partner.
According to him, both he and Fatima have the AS genotype, which poses health risks.
“Dear friends and family, with very heavy hearts, I regret to announce that we are cancelling our upcoming wedding. “Due to unexpected genetic compatibility issues, my partner and I have made the difficult decision to go our separate ways,” he wrote.
“As you can imagine, this news is a devastating shock and my heart is broken into a million pieces. We were both eager to start our life together but unfortunately our genotypes (AS + AS=!!) posed insurmountable health risks.
“I am struggling to accept this unexpected turn of events. Your love, support and understanding mean everything to me during this dark time. Please pray for me through this difficult time.
Thank you for your kindness, compassion and understanding.”
