SEN. AHMED SANI YARIMAN BAKURA REPLIES THE CRITICS OF EARLY MARRIAGENigeria has many uncountable problems and none of them is early marriage. As a matter of fact early marriage is the solution to about half of our problems. For those who wonder if I can give my daughter(s) out in marriage at the age of 9 or 13, I tell you most honestly, I can give her out at the age of 6 if I want to and its not your business. This is because I am a Muslim and I follow the example of the best of mankind, Muhammad (PBUH). In Islam, marriage is not only about sex, it is about family and helping one another in achieving their goals, which is the attainment of Paradise.In Islam, a girl can be given out in marriage as early as 6 years old, but consummation of the marriage can only be done when the girl becomes physically mature and she gives her consent to it because unlike English law, it is not permissible for a man to rape his wife in Shari'ah Law.So what can anybody tell me?~ I live in a city where young girls at the age of 12 have already became serial fornicators and cannot count the number of man they've had sex with.~ I live in a City where primary school children disvirgin themselves behind toilets on Valentine day.~ I live in a city where young girls flood the street at night looking for men that would give them N500 to have sex with them.~ I live in a city where parents send their daughters out overseas to prostitute and send dollars down.~ I live in a City where Government officials pick undergraduates from University car parks with Coastal Buses to wild sex parties.~ I live in a city where abortion is so common that even a Chemist shore owner can perform abortion with just N2,500.These are your daughters, and this should worry you and not Yerima's private matters. So ask me again why I support early marriage and I will slap the Jinn out of your head

What makes you different from a mantally derange man. It's ppl like you that perform those impiccable acts you mention above without d slightest conscience, so unfortunate that, you don't seems to have a problem with ppl with those quetionable character that you just sited? Oh, i remember, all of you are in d same league. Personaly, I can't just imagine myself getting intimate with a 12yr old not to talk of a 9yr old. So disgusting. You have lost touch of what human feelings are.

Something in this aboki's mind is lying to him, if he says early marriage is not because of sex, what is his his own primary reason for marrying the child in the first place, or Muhammed their oga that started hammering a 9yrs old girl wants to tell me that the girl is ready for sex

You actually have gone outta your senses! Ideally you don't have to prove your stupendous un-informed character to anyone.. When you want to argue or say something, kindly do that with some sense of reasoning so you be consider sane!

We are not fighting islam, we are only saying NO to early child Marriage. We just seek respect for women (our mothers, sisters, aunts, and daughters) let's put our religious and tribal differences aside and think. I am a christian but I always say Islam is perfect but muslims are not like wise christians, no one is perfect. Let's put our heads together and build a better Nigeria. A Nigeria where our daughters can't make their own life decisions is not a free Nigeria. I'll call that modern slavery.
