An eight year old bride identified as Halima, died in Lafia, Nasarawa state on friday. She died from internal injuries on her wedding night, bleeding to death after deep vaginal tearing caused by s*x with her 40 year old husband, according to a report issued by UPI on Sunday, Sept. 8.

Activists in the region are fighting for forced child marriage to be banned, and they have called for police to arrest the girl’s husband and family.
The issue of forced marriage of child brides is a socially accepted custom and is widespread in many rural areas in Yemen.

A February 2009 law set the minimum age for marriage at 18, but it was repealed after some conservative lawmakers called it un-Islamic.
