However, his controversial take drew even more backlash when he went on to claim that husbands therefore shouldn’t have to foot the hospital bill for their wives’ delivery.

“Giving birth is the wife’s responsibility. Therefore, the husband shouldn’t have to pay for the hospital delivery costs. I said what I said.”

Outraged netizens soon flooded the comment section, with many criticising his views and expressing their disagreement with his remarks.

Some argued that the cost of childbirth should not simply be placed on the wife just because she is the one giving birth.

Netizens’ reactions

“Being of sound mind is one of the main requirements for marriage. Looks like this man shouldn’t be getting married.”

“Hi, when God was handing out brains, did you skip the queue?”

“Planting the seed is the husband’s responsibility. So, wives shouldn’t have to entertain a foolish husband like this. He’d be better off planting his seed in a banana tree instead. I said what I said.”

“It’s a woman’s responsibility to be smart enough not to end up with a man like this.”
