A 17-year-old girl named Fatima B has appealed to the Niger Child Right Protection Agency to dissolve her one-month-old marriage.

Fatima is married to 35-year-old Salihu M, said that she was no longer in love with her husband and also wants the marriage dissolved so she can further her education.

“I was given in marriage to Salihu by my family, who thought I will have a better life with him. I do not want this marriage; I do not love this man. I want a divorce because I want to go to school and it is only when I am divorced that I can return to school,” she said.

Her husband, Salihu also replied saying that he married his wife legally, and with the consent of her family.

“At first, my wife was happy with the marriage until she suddenly changed her mind and opted for a divorce. I still love my wife and I want to spend my life with her, but if she wants a divorce, I have no objection. I cannot force her to remain in the union,” he said.

The Director-General of the Niger Child Right Protection, Maryam Kolo, was full of praise for Fatima for having the courage to seek for divorce, and gave a two-week ultimatum to dissolve the marriage.

“If you fail to do so within the two weeks, the agency will file for divorce on behalf of the girl in a Sharia Court,” she said.



She further warn parents against giving out their daughter early for marriage.

Twice her age, shameless man

This our kins men from up north will never cease to amaze me...

Niger Republic and not Niger State.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command
(17 years )Your age is not an issue this matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
Don't use education as an excuse.

No wahala the guy accepted your divorce
The shame goes to you & Family

BUHARI religion

Why are the northerners /Muslims like these

..

admin keep banning people because of mmm post. You will soon block your damm ass. if you ban me will you ban my life? fools

Child marriage should be banned in Nigeria.

Some parents are just wicked. Why will a sane parent give out a 17yr old gal out for marriage. Its babaric. As for the paedophile who think he is in love with the gal, I really dnt knw what to say about him.

Before opening this thread I already knew the people who married her

ok

Niger Republic and not Northern Nigeria.

Same way Igbos should not be forced to remain in Nigeria.

Marriage is never by force.

Only a foolish president will say instead of me to let you go we will all drown together.

This is why Nigeria can't be one. The majority North wants to increase in size by marrying at ridiculous ages, shunning education and spreading their almajiri and beggars and illiterates all over the country.. while the south just wants to be educated.

Okay

Not only niger republic na niger nation.

Instead of you guys lending your voice and resources to fighting for needed education in your region you'll rather support mass building of Quranic schools, mosques, paedophiles and mass weddings and the blame game. And when others talked of explosion of born throways you start spitting fires where there are none.

Your leaders are a disgrace to humanity for their selfishness in training their wards in the best schools home and abroad whilst they refuse to give proper education to the less privilege, stem almajiri explosions in the north but will rather use them for election purposes to capture federal power.

Anyway kudos to the girl's boldness. May her dreams and others like her come true.
