It means girl or daughter (definitely not wife! Wife is amariya) in Hausa. But it's usually spelt "yarinya" |

Yarinya means Lady Karamar Yarinya means a small girl (one that has not attained puberty) amarya means a new bride By the way of all termiologies in Hausa why this interest on the word yarinya  |

I think it means woman. I recall when I was serving in Minna and was always asked if I've got a Yarinya yet  |
