The event that breaks down Okeke's prejudice against Nene in "Marriage Is a Private Affair" is when he receives a letter from his son, Nnaemeka, informing him of his plan to marry Nene and introduce her to their family. This act of defiance and love from Nnaemeka challenges Okeke's deeply-held beliefs and biases, ultimately leading him to reconsider his stance on their relationship.
The time that passes from the marriage to the story's end is about two years. During this time, Okeke remains distant from his son, Nnaemeka, rejecting his marriage and refusing to communicate with him. It is only near the end of the story that Okeke begins to soften and consider reconciliation with his son.
