Not for love: Jaruma reveals real reason she got married

Controversial Nigerian sex therapist Hauwa Mohammed, known as Jaruma, has revealed the reason she married her ex-husband, Ross Fahad Isabor, citing intense backlash from society as a motive.

Jaruma, who runs a sex enhancement brand, in an interview with ‘Issues and Society’ podcast,  said the criticism from northerners rooted in her Muslim faith and single status pushed her to settle down with someone she did not love.

The sex therapist also claimed her ex-husband was aware of her reasons

She said, “There was a massive heat from the north because I was selling sex products as a single lady

“There was so much attack, me being a Muslim and a single lady. They wondered why people allow a single lady teach them what happens in the bedroom for lots of money.

“It wasn’t easy at all. The sex industry is a multi billion industry, the industry is never going to die and I have made N760 million in three years.

“So I thought the industry will not die and I have a booming business so I cannot just leave because of the heat I was going.

“I just said if marriage is the problem, let me just do it and get it over with so I got married.

“I didn’t get married because of love, being into the man or there was a long courtship.

“I just got married to get away from the pressure I got from the north. I got married just after a month of meeting.

“I told him about the reason I got married to him, he knew it was not for love but for the pressure.”

In 2021, Jaruma and her husband, Isabor, separated. The union was blessed with a child.
