I don’t understand the trend where underage girls are found pleasing for marriage. While Nigerians battle with the senate over such issues and are petitioning senators that are trying to establish the act, other parts of the world are also battling with their own little share.

Sanda Rose reports that an 11-year-old Yemeni girl ran away from home to escape an arranged marriage to an older man.

Nada al-Ahdal was saved from an arranged marriage only after her uncle intervened. In a video posted on YouTube, Nada says: “Go ahead and marry me off – I’ll kill myself.” While we shudder to think what our lives would be like to be married at 11, it is tradition in other cultures.

In America, girls are not considered adults until they turn 18. But in other parts of the world, girls become adults when they begin menstruating — usually around 12 years of age. In other cultures young girls are married off as early as 7 or 8 years old to ease the financial burden of families living in poverty. Love has nothing to do with it.

It is unbecoming. See video below.

Gbam! This should bring our retardeen senators who voted in favour of child marriageto their right senses. I am not in support of child marriage and will never be.
