Cashmeer Sayyid tells Chebet Ronoh to heal after claiming marriage is for fools
Cashmeer Sayyid has hit back at fellow content creator Chebet Ronoh after she disparaged the marriage institution.
In a strong response on Instagram on Sunday, September 21, 2025, Cashmeer told Ronoh that people who are married are also entitled to their happiness and should not be insulted for choosing a different path in life.

“Nimesikia watu wakisema wale wameolewa ni mafala. Are you serious? Hata wale wameolewa wanaona wewe ni fala. Juu umekosa mtu, umekuwa so bitter unaingilia tu watu wanaingilia maisha yao. Kama watu wameolewa na wameoleka, si uachane na wao. They are happy, wamependwa, wamepata watoto, and they are enjoying life,” Cashmeer said.
She went on to add that the same people being dismissed as “mafala” might equally view Ronoh in the same way, stressing that bitterness should not define how one views others.
‘You need to heal’
“Pia hao wanaona wewe ni fala. Juu ni kama umekosa mtu so umekasirikia kila mtu. You need to heal. I feel like wewe ni fala kwao, na kwako wao wewe ni fala; kila mtu ni fala. Si tuishi tu life bila kuitana mafala?” she added.
Her remarks came shortly after Ronoh’s video went viral, sparking heated debates online.
In the clip, Ronoh bluntly said, “Marriage hubamba mafala,” a phrase that quickly turned into a trending topic. The comment not only triggered humorous reactions but also fuelled discussions on how different generations view marriage and relationships.
The statement ignited what some observers described as a “generational war”. Millennials and older audiences largely pushed back against Ronoh’s take, defending the institution of marriage as a meaningful commitment that brings love, stability, and family.
On the other hand, sections of Gen Z supported her sentiment, arguing that marriage is outdated, unnecessary, and often burdensome in modern society.
By the end of the day, Ronoh’s one-liner had produced countless reaction videos, memes, and opinion threads.
The conversation also split into discussions about how marriage is evolving, the pressures around it, and whether or not choosing to remain unmarried should still carry stigma.
Cashmeer’s direct response says that regardless of personal choices, respect should prevail.
