The Saudi Ministry of Justice has banned the marriage of persons under 18 years. It also set 18 years as the minimum age for marriage.

The Minister of Justice and Chairman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Sheikh Walid Al-Samaani, issued the new directive in a circular sent to all the courts in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.


According to PremiumTimes, child marriages are commonplace in Saudi Arabia with one in seven girls marrying before the age of 18. But, Saudi Arabia’s justice minister is changing things up.

Saudi Arabia Bans 18years marriage while here in Nigeria an 18 years old wife can vöte. grin grin grin

Saudi Arabia a Muslim country bans 18years marriage while here in Nigeria the North to be precise allow a girl less than that age to marry. they will tight it to religion. grin grin

Did you see the difference of an illiterate people in religion and a learned folks in religion?

Now for those Northern Muslim people standing behind religion to justify their claims on early marriage I hope you change since your role model country have change.

Beautiful.

Can Nigeria do the same? With the increase in cases of VVF (in the north) and similar pathologies, shouldn't our leaders be bothered?

I hope we have a rethink soon.

Islam originated from Saudi Arabia...
Sometimes I wonder if it's the same holy book I read and understood that my fellow Northerners are practicing...
Mistaken cultures and traditions to religion I think is their problem.

Good news! Let's see if our own muslims will follow suit or stick to the status quo and continue the child marriages in the north.

This is what Sanusi has been trying to preach amongst other things, but nobody hates the truth more than Nigerian politicians and religious fanatics.

The more we insist on religious fanaticism in Africa, the more backwards we will be. Check out all the highly developed countries of the world, they are mostly the ones that have done away with overzealousness about religion and tribalism.

This country is becoming more civilized than some so called Western nations. And with these modern and proactive policies, they have also become more prosperous and haven for tourists and immigrants.
