The young lady aged 14, who is accused of killing her 35 year old husband and his friends with poison, is to be tried as an adult. Infact, the case has been moved from the juvenile court to the high court in Kano state. The reason being that she is married.
I think thats quite unfortunate. How exactly does marriage make her an adult? She is still mentally immature. Infact her resolve to kill her husband as a solution to her predicament could be blamed on her inability to handle her situation in a mature way.
Assuming she were sick and taken to a hospital, would drugs and treatment given be modified because she is married? or would she be assessed based on age and weight.
That being said, her situation right now really sucks....
