The prejudice against Nnaemeka’s marriage was not confined to his little village. In Lagos, especially among his people who worked there, it showed itself in a different way. Their women, when they met at their village meeting, were not hostile to Nene. Rather, they paid her such excessive deference as to make her feel she was not one of them. But as time went on, Nene gradually broke through some of this prejudice and even began to make friends among them. Slowly and grudgingly they began to admit that she kept her home much better than most of them. –“Marriage Is a Private Affair,”

Explanation:

Marriage Is a Private Affair is a short story written by Chinua Achebe, a Nigerian novelist, poet, professor, and critic. It tells about the traditions of Igbo people and how they view marriage through the story of Nene and Nnaemeka.

According to the tradition, an Igbo man is supposed to marry an Igbo woman his father chooses. However, Nnaemeka chose Nene, a woman who is not an Igbo, himself. This enrages his father, who ends up cutting him off. However, eventually, many Igbo women began to like Nene despite her being an outsider. They especially praised her homemaking skills. This is something valued in their culture.

The fact that the women from the tribe valued Nnaemeka did affect the growth of their relationship with Nene. However, this doesn't reflect their culture.

Nigerian fathers don't encourage their children to challenge tradition. This is why Nnaemeka's father shunned his own son.

The women of Nnaemeka's tribe weren't indifferent toward Nene. At first, they disliked her because she was an outsider but then began liking her.
