Emir Of Kano Condemns Child Marraige by Ramsonkayode(m): 2:47pm On Oct 15, 2016
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has quite recently discharged an effective articulation in which he talks about kid marriage in the Muslim people group. He likewise encouraged the significant powers to make a law that would rebuff anyone that brought forth kids and make them suffer.

Emir Of Kano Condemns Child Marraige
Read His Statement Below:
(Marriage of women below 18 years) - Women are suffering from reproductive health challenges were products of such marriages.
Time had come when the Muslim community should live by the reality of economic recession and consequences of early marriage.
The era when people gave out their daughters in marriage at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe was nothing but a deception. According to me, strategy no longer worked as it had led to cases of divorce and other ugly situations. In the past the rich and the poor married four wives and bore between 30 and 40children because the economy was not only buoyant but also because people were not relying on government for sustenance.
Though the harsh economic realities now make it impossible for people to feed twice a day these days, “Unfortunately our people do not change and somebody with virtually nothing still give birth to 20or 30 children and this must stop”.
There was a need to peg the marriage age now because of the challenges early marriage was posing. The marriage age in Egypt at present was 18 while that of Malaysia and Morocco were 19 and 17 respectively, asking "Why not we here urgently call for pegging of marriage ages within Muslim Ummah in Nigeria?"
Nigerian Muslims also practice the Malikiyas School of thought as these countries, “We should follow suit and peg our own marriage ages for our own good”.
I urge the relevant authorities to create a law that would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed them to suffer. Most of those neglected children not only turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism. - Muhammadu Sanusi II

Our leaders can easily condemn things on media without offering any solution to the problem.

The emir wouldn't have said this.he will end up ruffling feathers.
Honestly I fear for him being assassinated.

He's the brightest, smartest and learned of the northerners I've read about.
