Ok that's fine.

But why do some people frown at it?

It's just a legal age and it's different for different jurisdiction.

Or do you hate that some countries or jurisdictions don't be like yours?

A girl 17 years and 364 days old is a minor and is not fit to be married by law, but do you think she will only be fit for marriage and on exactly the next day?

Naaa

Is 18 not just her legal age to be marriageable?

Couldn't it have been 16 or 21 as it is done in egypt?

Is it not recently that we know or hear of "child bride", "pedophile" ,"minor", etc ?

Has it been for about 50 years?

In France before the french revolution, the marriageable age was 12 for girls and other countries have theirs in that range too.

Yeah, all countries were "modernize" and "civilized" in their own time too.

They most have had something "in their head" to have thought that 12 was cool.

And on 18 years palava, did we not just agree to it because most countries agreed to it?

Ok if you had all parameters at your disposal, would you choose 18 independent of others choices.

Did you know that if it had been 17, most Nigerians wouldn't still hate it. They were never at the table when it is asked and their opinion was never sought for.

Did you know that 146 countries's state or customary law allows girls younger than 18 to marry with the consent of parents or other authorities?

Wow!!! That much?. They must be very uncivilized. *winks*

In 52 countries, girls under age 15 can marry with parental consent.

May be it's different for religions, customs and countries anyway

In contrast, 18 is the legal age for marriage without consent among males in 180 countries.

In 105 countries, boys can marry with the consent of a parent or a pertinent authority.

In 23 countries, boys under age 15 can marry with parental consent.

In summary, it's based on different customs

I was not paid for this and minors are not my thing

tobtap:
pedophile

She is 18. Very Young but not a minor. Don't know what people see in small girls though. However, marrying an 18 year old is lawful around the world.

Dis people will never change. Say baba family. Abeg make she finish school.

even with his educational background, he stil marry a younger girl that should be his daughter? Hausa na Hausa no matter how educated they may be..

didn't he marry his cousin before?

WTF is he still going after 18 years old for?

Shameless old f00l. So he cannot find his age mate? SMFH and they say he's educated.

chai

Pishure or adonbilivit

Upon all the education, can't imagine myself obeying dat trashy law of marrying 4 wives. Besides, if dy did a secret wedding to avoid journalists, hw come it's here on Nairaland or na Linda Ikeji broadcast am?! Smh..
Mtchewwwwww

Say baba people they will never change from there old mentality.

18 year old indeed. We need to conduct an MRI scan on her. These abbokis no dey take i see teenage girls.

They proly had to inflate the age a bit to give it acceptability.

Happy Married Life.

BTW, someone should tell him to hit my signature or else ...

Fear NORTH pple

psssssh. Educated yet going after women young enough to be his kid. If you support this, move to my side I don't talk to shameless old men

And for your information, I don't even talk to women younger than 20 years old. The chick is closer to my age and I wouldn't even look her way especially if she recently just got legal. why? I am not shameless going after small punny.

Some of you nigg@s need your balls cut especially if you are in your 50s running after 18 and 17 years old. Una need Jesus.

Ashawo man.. ....

Simitrendy:
Another Senator Yerima.. I thought this Emir is educated now 18 year old girl now a housewife OMG. so she WL prolly give birth at least 19.. Northern people should stop this gullible behavior its irritating. My opinion tho. The girl is supposed to be in school, That's why their children start causing commotion because they lack western education. The age limit for marriage should be 24 and above. Its so sad that a educated man like SLS would do this. BTW I'm looking for LadyF and Introvert.

olodo... no be ny education..

it's just that education is a necessity to survive in this times..

but don't be deceived no b education b everything..

as u dat 18 yrs old... she don marry... she marry emir.. her children go be princes and princesses..

so u can eida sit on ya laptop and make noise all day abt hw she is suppose to be in school or

how she is nt suppose to be someone's wife.. either wich way... e no go affect dre marriage at all..

so calm down and move on...

One word comes to mind......ewwwwwwwwwww
Would this pedophile have allowed her 18yr old daughter to marry a senior citizen as well? This guy is some people's mentor? Ridiculous.
