This has justified why christianity is the best.

berem: well who cares? Thank God am not a muslim. To hell with whatever they believe in. As long as it does not affect christians,no problem.

It's our problem, those girls are suffering terribly, we cannot just sit back and relax because Christians are not involved, what's happened to our conscience? Like Albert Einstein said: the world would not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything. It is our responsibility to make sure this nonsense is stopped!

You have no idea.

The problem with this law is quit complicated, the issue with dat is in a country were poverty is @ its highest like Nigeria eventually them pervaded richmen use it against dere own people and if the federal govt go against the law this very poor people will complain about religion so shuld we stand n watch d 13 year old child to be used as a 50yr old man's property from a tender age or shuld we let religion destroy another life.

This is trash! Later they tell us that this is civilization? All those happened then, are they trying to drag us again to the dark ages? The primitive times? Cant believe this!
If not for those shameless senators that accented to the bill, i wonder how such would sound in his mouth.
Whosoever has an affair with with a young girl is a pervert and deserves to be hanged.
#To hell with that bill. Any man that tries that rubbish with my daughter in future, i will bury his balls in the next 24 hrs. Lol, but am serious.

who is even asari dokubo? a common militant ranting everywhere. I blame d press for hearin his view.

ilugunboy: ...and this is the dude some deluded dolts were praising to the heaven not long ago on this forum.

Asari is a confused adult...torn between a religion he converted into as an adult and the belief-system of the environment that he spent his formative years.

Woe betides anyone that takes this guy serious.

You took the words away from my mouth. Some deluded people feels he is a freedom fighter.

I can imagine the trauma the northern female children will be made to pass through. Sadly such crimes against children has the blessing of our constitution. Very sad development indeed!!

Our foolish lady should be fighting against such a barbaric law instead of fighting with Amaechi. But I guess she doesn't give a damn as long as it doesn't add a kobo to her pocket. What a shame!! Maybe its because she's barren

If we can't fight for our children the we have no hope or future as a people.

Scarpon: its our tradition not a law the northern part of Nigeria the qwari people get married as from age of 12 and upwards. my mum was married at the age of 16 granny at the age of 15 its our tradition we should not allow the western life take it out from us

Dude, in the Igbo land too girls got married at that age to, 130 years AGO! The life expectancy then was soo low that people considered marriage as early as possible a the best solution to keeping the tribe going, not to mention the fact that your best chance of sleeping with a woman would be to marry her therefore men married early and so their wives were younger.

Today this no longer the case, you do not have to marry at 16 cos if modern medicine has anything to say about it, you will be in that marriage for 60 or so more years to come. Islam did not give a marriage age but Arabic culture which was no different than any other culture in the world gave consent to marrying young girls. Every culture in the history of the world started out marrying off girls early but they have not continued it till this day, in Indonesia and Malaysia where there are Muslims too do you see them chasing down little girls to put more little girls in their stomachs?

Abeg learn to respect the human body, it wasn't made to bear kids at 14! People doing that too are just fuckken pedofiles!

paedophiles !

My question is: Where does Asari and his likes get their idea from?

Black Peni5:

While you're at it, also remove your clothes and wear whatever it is your ancestors were wearing. Also stop schooling and return to the farm since these are also western imports.

Guy u wicked o hehehe

smh i pity those gals...
but wait o,do they need to pass the law it is a normal thing in d north and am sure the sharia law supports it.

anyway my tots and prayers are with those innocent little gals that have been denied the right to education but sold into a life of unhappiness and slavery.
may God see u through

Mufti Ali Gomaa on marriage of minors

The distinguishing characteristic of mankind, according to the Qur’an, is the dignity bestowed upon it by God: “We have dignified the children of Adam … and favoured them over much of creation.” Human dignity is, therefore, a fundamental tenet of the Islamic worldview. It should be no surprise, then, that Islam’s emergence and presence in the world has been one which has placed a very high regard on the protection of human rights. This concern is heightened considerably when one turns to the most vulnerable members of society. Indeed, one of the first missions of the Prophet Muhammad was to express his outrage and denunciation at the pre-Islamic Arab customs surrounding young girls, customs which saw them as less than human and a source of embarrassment to the family.

These are long-standing and unshakeable principles which are representative of the enduring spirit of Islam. It is crucial, therefore, that we evaluate modern social phenomena in light of these long-standing values. A recent troubling trend on the rise in Egypt and elsewhere has been the number of marriages of girls under the age of minority, in contravention of recent Egyptian laws aimed at protecting children by stipulating that marriages of brides under the age of 18 are not to be solemnized. A number of cases have recently presented themselves of young girls being put on display, so that rich older men may choose from among them for purposes of marriage (often a temporary marriage), the parents of the girls being compensated financially as if this were simply an exchange of commodities. This is a dangerous and troubling phenomenon, betraying the meaning of the Islamic conception of marriage.

Marriage is a sacred institution in Islam, based on love, mercy, and mutual respect. The sorts of arrangements mentioned above fail to live up to these ideals, and worse, compromise the dignity and humanity of young girls, treating them as slaves or chattel to be bought and sold. And this all for the sake of a suspect marriage disguising mere licentiousness, and more often than not leaving the marital rights of the girl unfulfilled. This is not a marriage worthy of the name, but rather a clear case of sexual exploitation which must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

One of the most basic principles of Islamic law is the Prophetic command to neither inflict nor accept harm. This imperative will be familiar to those from other faith traditions as the golden rule – a universal commandment that applies to all, irrespective of social class or gender, special care must be taken to ensure that no type of harm befalls those who can neither cause nor repel harm on their own, the weak and helpless in our societies. Such deplorable cases not only cause individual harm to the young girl, but inflict harm also on the societal level. Islam has always sought to work for the welfare of the vulnerable and marginalized. When one considers minors, it is noteworthy to point out that the Sharia has given them full legal capacity over their economic assets. And in cases where there has been a legal guardian appointed, he or she is duty-bound to dispose of the minor’s wealth only in ways that safeguard and advance the latter’s welfare. It is of course evident, therefore, that the minor’s welfare should be a primary concern in a matter as serious as marriage, for one’s honor is certainly more sacred than one’s wealth.

The jurists of Islam have long held that the values of love, mercy and mutual respect between the spouses can be best realized through considerations of compatibility between the two spouses. Many of them have deemed compatibility not simply a preference but rather a central value of the Sharia to be sought in all cases; indeed, a condition of the validity of an Islamic marriage.

The jurists have agreed that an extreme age difference is an important example of incompatibility. This is no small matter, for a father that fails to take such incompatibility into account is one who has lost his standing as a trustworthy and upstanding member of the community. And the jurists have stipulated that this standing is a requisite for his legal agency over his young daughter’s affairs. There is no doubt that a man who engages in such sexual exploitation, and puts his daughter in such a precarious and dangerous situation, can in no way be considered a legitimate representative looking after her well-being and interests. Rather, he has not even fulfilled the least of his responsibility towards his humanity. As such, he forfeits his right to represent his daughter.

Based on this reasoning, we must call for the criminalization of this sort of behaviour, and to punish those who partake in it – be they parents of the girl, or intermediaries. Further, we must work to establish the true meaning of an Islamic marriage in our society, and restore the dignity and humanity of all members of our community.

Now, I understand why Nigeria would never meet up with the MDGs. Not even with MDG 3... because apparently, some old men would be all out looking
for young girls who are supposed to be in primary school, to marry.

And, this Gender Disparity, widens. ..

Just as someone said, 1% increase in the number of young girls finishing high school will boost economic growth by 0.3% Unfortunately, 2/3 of the 1Billion illiterate adults are women. With Child-bride...the struggle continues, especially in the Northern region. Now, aside the education which is at risk, there are other compelling issues associated with Child-Marriage, Pregnancy Risk, Maternal Health issues etc. #GirlChildDonSuffer...

Pls, is Nigeria the only Country where Underage Marriage is a Right of Muslims?

berem: well who cares? Thank God am not a muslim. To hell with whatever they believe in. As long as it does not affect christians,no problem.

@berem u should have ask ur pastors or father at what age marry the mother of jesus got pregnant with jesus? At eleven years old and her pregnancy was a normal like normal women, and she marry a carpenter of over a 100 yrs old at 13yrs and girls marrying at 11 t0 17 yrs old is normal in those xtain era up to 1800 A.D just because the west say 18 its does nt means god word or could u show me in the bible where it says a girl has to be 18 to get married, and yea it does concern xtainity

My SS/SE brothers legalizing and supporting pedo....phillia.
How old was Biancar when Ojukwu started eyeing her? Wasnt she like 14-15?

Kia!!! Girls don suffer in the hands of these old selfish and wicked paedophiles. Imagine an old rickety expired man gropping an underage immature girl all in the name of marriage. If it its the right of people like Yerima. What about the right of those underage baby who should still be in school learning Arithmetic. I wonder how those who had daughters feel about this, but to me its disgusting!

kraftykc:
Islam did not give a marriage age,

the muslims on these forum should come and confirm this...

Not suprised since their holy prophet aged 44 married an 8year old girl Aisha (PEDOPHILE)

[b]first muslims do not support "underage" marriage as the title of the thread suggest. we have to first understand who is "underage" to conclude that muslims are supporting "underage" marriage or not.according to Nigerian law,the age of consent for girls in Nigeria is 13 year old.if you look at many muslim countries,the age is above that as different factors are also considered.

there are factors which determine if a girl is mature enough to get married.it is not what the parents want,as Islam forbids marriage in which the girl does not have a say about the man she is getting married to and is expected to live the rest of her life with.forcing girls into marriage is forbidden in islam and amounts to oppression,which is a sin.

the physical and mental conditions of a girl is to be taken into consideration before marriage,and also the time and environment matter.for example in about a century ago,the age of consent in some parts of the United States was 10 year old.the question arises as to who or what determines if a girl is mature enough to enter marriage.in Islam,when a girl reaches the age of puberty and she is physically grown enough,she can become a woman or perform intimacy within a legal framework (i.e. marriage),as "boy friends" are not allowed for muslim girls.now the question arises if EVERY girl that sees her period can get married.of course not! there is the mental maturity of girls and the time and environment she is living in that also determine if girls can get married once they are physically mature.in the past,a girl that is physically mature can get married at age 12 for instance.but now when it takes 12 years to finish high school,can a girl of 12 get married? by the time she is done with high school she would be oldest at 16.these are things to take into consideration,in addition to the girl's and parents' consent. otherwise the word "underage" is subjective and prejudiced.even in the west as I cited the USA, there was no yardstick to determine what was "underage".they reduced and increased it as they wanted to,and still do.we also know according to a report found in the Catholic encyclopedia that Mary (as),the virgin mother of Jesus (as),is said to have been age 12 when she conceived,and at that time she was betrothed to Joseph,who was a man of 90 year old.time,environment,consent,alongside maturity (physical and mental),all have to play a role to determine the age suitable for a girl to get married.

It is a Northern thing!! Many of them are uneducated!! Because I don't see an educated girl getting married at 15-16 years!!
