According to reports, the man — said to be in his 40s — had been caring for his ill wife, who was reportedly battling blood cancer. Sources close to the situation say doctors had warned him that her condition was terminal and that she might pass away at any moment. In anticipation of her death, he allegedly booked the wedding venue before she passed away.

A “Respectful” Ceremony?


The wedding itself was reportedly low-key and “respectful,” with no music or loud celebrations — a detail the man’s defenders have used to argue that he meant no disrespect. Still, for most people in the comments section, the timing alone was enough to raise serious concerns.

Social Media Was Not Having It

Screenshots of reactions flooded Instagram and TikTok, with some users asking, “What kind of woman agrees to marry a man like that?” and others calling it a “walking red flag.” A few even questioned the emotional readiness of someone to remarry that quickly — especially while claiming to be grieving.
