Speaking to YouTuber Silva Kiddo on Saturday, September 27, 2025, she revealed that despite being of age, no man has stepped forward with a marriage proposal, and she continues to wait patiently.

She explained that she has not received any news of proposals and emphasised that she cannot marry herself.
“I am still waiting to get married, and you know I cannot marry myself, yet you men have not come. There have been no proposals, and I have not received any news of a proposal. I do not have dowry, you can come just as you are,” she said.
According to her, dowry is not part of her expectations, and she has not set any bride price.

She also clarified that she is not actively searching for a man, since in her view it is the man who should present himself, not the woman.
“I do not want a dowry. I only want love, and I have not set any bride price. I am not the one who should look for a man; it is the man who should present himself,” she added.
Azeezah noted that when a woman goes out in search of a man, the relationship often lacks seriousness and depth.
She pointed out that in such situations, some men only see the relationship as a way of ticking something off their checklist rather than building something meaningful.
“A woman should not present herself. Sometimes, when a woman looks for a man, he does not take her seriously. Unfortunately, men sometimes see it as just something to tick off their checklist,” she said.
Personal situation
Opening up about her personal situation, Azeezah explained that she has never been married before and therefore does not know the exact expectations of how men are formally introduced into marriage.
She stated that if she were to become a second wife, she would not have any objection as long as the man approached her parents together with his first wife.
She maintained that in such a case, there would be no period of dating, but if her parents were approached formally, she would accept and have no problem with it.
“I have never been married before, so I do not know the process of how men are introduced. When it comes to being someone’s second wife, that can happen, but it means there will be no dating. If someone wants me to be a second wife, he should come with his first wife to my parents. If they come and say they want me, I will be ready and I will not have a problem,” Azeezah added.
