Outrage As Primary Four Girl Aged 8 Is Married In Zaria by lordcornel(m): 6:44am On Jan 19, 2016
Although millions of eight-year-old girls in Nigeria are presently playing or disturbing their mothers for more noodles, there is one particular eight-year-old girl who is now a married woman. I have confirmed that two days ago, a marriage ceremony was conducted between a rather curious couple: the bride is eight years of age and she is in primary four (we are presently still getting more information on the groom but initial reports say he is aged 14 and is in SS1). They are of the Baba Ahmed family in Zaria and this is reportedly not the first of such marriages they have conducted. Sources told that although the marriage has indeed been formalized between the two ‘lovers’, there will be no sexual intercourse until at least they finish their secondary school education. It is unclear if there will be other marital duties such as cooking, living together or going for romantic time outings.  We are still getting more updates on the story and will be updating as we get them. 

The marriage has raised a lot of controversy among Nigerians. Some are totally outraged at the concept of wedding between minors and even say it is unconstitutional as the ‘bride’ is not of age and she did not give her consent while others say there is nothing wrong with it. In the meantime, see exclusive photos from the ceremony below:

What an abuse. Both of them never get enough sense. They may end up disliking each other when they grow and see their own choice of a life partner. This is a bondage of dark illetracy and ignorance

Ministry of women affairs shd pls be notified and act fast cus that little girl is at risk.

Up north this is the norm...this was just able to filter thru to the media..if a former senator can open his garbage called mouth to say an eight years old girl is old enough to be a wife what do you expect from the ordinary citizens...

You really don't have to be rude to pass your message. The girl must have consented to it. She looks happy in the picture and that is what matters.
