Man Arrested For Giving Underage Daughter’s Hand In Marriage In Anambra by peekspot(m): 1:46pm On May 02
The Anambra State Government has arrested one Uzochukwu Okoli for giving out his underage daughter’s hand in marriage.

Okoli was apprehended after his daughter reported to the state Ministry of Women and Social Welfare about the ill-treatment being meted out to her by her father and the man he forced her to marry.

This was disclosed in a statement issued by Chidimma Ikeanyionwu, the Media Aide to the state Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Ify Obinabo, on Thursday.

Ikeanyionwu said the girl, identified as Chioma, who is currently 16 years old, told the ministry that after the death of their mother, their father brought her back from Edo State, where they were going to school to take a husband.

The statement read, “She alleged that she was first forced to live with a 70-year-old man at the age of 14, but after some time, she ran back to her father’s house before he finally gave her out to a 34-year-old Chinedu N. as husband.

Chioma, who also came with her elder sister, explained that life with the said husband has been a ‘living hell’ because he beats her and sometimes, after beating her, pees in her mouth and that made her run away with her nine-month-old baby.

Her father, Uzochukwu Okoli, on the other hand, claimed his daughter is 18 years old and, at some point, said 20 years.

“Okoli, when he was handcuffed, threatened to deal with the daughters if he made it out of prison. He also urged them to pray he dies in prison because he will make life more miserable for them.”

Reacting to the development, Obinabo, instructed that the case be charged to court so that the children can get justice.

She used the medium to urge parents to be mindful of their children and direct them properly instead of pushing them to early marriages, which will destroy their lives.

Both Okoli and Chinedu N were arrested and will be arraigned in court.

Baba don sell pikin to afford food to eat.

Poverty is damn crazy but when wickedness add to it, it is disastrous.

You first sold your 14 year old daughter to a 70 years old man, she escaped and came back home. Then you went ahead to sell her off to another 34 years old.

That young girl eye don see shege.

I do not believe this. Igbo man will not give under age daughter to marriage. The daughter is lying and might not be happy or in support of the man he married to. That is the problem here. No father will be happy that is daughter is been maltreated.

But Igbo man can sell his daughter/Son for Money....
Dey deceive ya sef. Shiior

That man should be checked if he's mentally ok. Ok or not, if the story is true, he should rot in jail. Also this is the difference between people up south and down north. In some places, the girl's right will be denied without giving her a listening ear.

Same country different laws.
Meanwhile in the north, 12 years old are being given out in marriage.
I want the law to be extended to northerners too. Anybody who gives his daughter who is less than 18 for marriage should be arrested.

That's so bad. But truth be told, if it's in the North, the man won't be arrested cos it's a normal thing over there.

Difference is the govt of Anambra arrested the stupid father. In some places like S* and Nor*h....they'd hide the matter and ask the gurl to go to her husband house.

Remember the girl that was kidnap from Bayelsa to Kano and was shielded by the emir's palace?
