It's quite clear U want to justify child marriage in d north by comparing same in d US. U do realise d Internet is jus one click away to verify facts but u yet u decided to intentional misinform ppl by posting Wat suits ur intents.. Anyway here's d Virginia's stance on child(minors) marriages
clearly explained here
here's d link http://statelaws.findlaw.com/virginia-law/virginia-marriage-age-requirements-laws.html Oh and here's a state by state age of Consent as regards child marriages.. http://family.findlaw.com/marriage/state-by-state-marriage-age-of-consent-laws.html Minors are minors and there's nothing ur religion or culture can say to justify it... D look on d faces of these child brides says it all... U shld also visit dis link... https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/jul/08/child-marriage-forced-minors-virginia-law |

See the old fool.. See as him dey smile like mumu... Poor girl... Chai... This should stopped now.. I don't understand what this world is turning into.. Child that should be playing hide and seek at home... If this is the case then 12 years old boys should be married off to old women too.. |

Nbote: Your opinion I just shared a story i considered interesting. Its left for you if you agree with it or not. The source is also attached so you verify wether what i posted is misleading or not At the end of the day what you think i am trying to justify is immaterial cos my daughter if i hav one will not marry at 16 even if she gets pregnant |

samincredible44: Frm the story it shows that men who willingly marry child bride or give out their children for marriage are not necessarily nigerians, blacks , muslims or any other colouration It happens even in countries considered developed |

DaudaAbu: D Nigerian version is a Nigerian issue... D only condition where such marriages are allowed there is if d child is already pregnant and with the consent of the parents.. Otherwise sex with a minor is still an offence and termed statutory rape if U didn't know dat... Is sex with a minor an offence in Nigeria? No point trying to justify why perverts are perverts.. Those nations do not operate on a law different from their constitution (sharia). Their laws are clear on wen and why such marriages are allowed and dey are already amending the law to b more considerate. Under what laws do we operate here? U have a nation where a law different from its constitution is in use in most states... Nigeria's situation is peculiar to Nigeria and most undeveloped Islamic nations becos u barely see d developed ones flaunting their pedophiles... N.B Hope u know d photo u used is from a social experiment on times Square to raise awareness about child brides all over d world.. It was staged to see people's reaction to a 65 yr old marrying a 12 yr old.. U shld Google it and see reactions and tell me d same is shared in d north... |
