She warned lovers who are about to settle down to know their genotype before saying “I do” to each other as to avoid unforeseen circumstance.

“They say love conquers all, but not in this case. We encourage you to Know your genotype before saying I do. Save the future. If you truly love each other; don't get married or make babies if genotypes don't tally,” she wrote.
