A viral teacher who married his former Grade 5 student has spoken out and shared the full story after receiving criticism from netizens.
A teacher named Benedict Mary Ambos, who went viral for marrying his former Grade 5 student, has finally spoken up after receiving criticism from netizens. The couple with a 36-year age gap, sparked mixed reactions online, with many bashing the teacher.
In his post, Ambos clarified that no abuse took place at any point. He shared the details of their relationship, explaining that when his now-wife was still his student, there were no romantic ties.
While her classmates would tease her about having a crush on him, Ambos never pursued her during that time, even though she would send him messages expressing admiration.
Their love story began years later after she had already left his school and faced personal hardships, including the loss of her mother. Ambos admitted that he eventually started responding to her texts and that they officially became a couple in December 2015, when she was 15 years old.
He added that they were careful to follow proper boundaries, respecting her young age and the fact that she was still in school.

Ambos expressed frustration at the distasteful remarks and accusations from the public, defending his love for his wife and emphasizing that they have built a life together according to Christian values. He also urged people to consider the full story before passing judgment.
