Three years after marrying a 14 year old Egyptian girl named Marian, which was widely protested in Nigeria, former Zamfara state governor and serving senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Sen. Ahmed Yerima, has reportedly divorced her to marry a new wife. According to reports, Sen.Yerima and four men, said to be members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly were in Egypt a few weeks ago for the wedding fathia of a new bride said to be 15 years old.

Marian who is now 17 and a mother of one, is believed to be the daughter of the former governor's driver whenever he visits Egypt. The reason he divorced her is to enable him take a new wife as he's not allowed more than four wives.

The Senator is alleged to have married and divorced a few women in the last few years but has never changed his first three wives, only the fourth ones.

Sen. Ahmed Yerima this year was strongly against the deletion of the section of the 1999 constitution which pegged the official marriage age in Nigeria as 18 year, saying it was anti-Islam.

Nawo

SMH. I do not blame him. He has no conscience and Nigerian Law allows it. Go Yerima!! You are free to even break this new record by marrying a 10year old or even younger.

This man should be jailed. What would become of the unfortuate girl now? It is so sickening.

Imagine being a divorcee and a mother of one at age 17. Wonders will never cease! This is the selfishness of man in the highest order. 3 years time he will divorce this 15 year old and marry another!

This man is a beast

He needs serious deliverance!

Someone please tell me this is some kind of bad joke.

I still remember when the debate was much heatier at the chamber and what some ignoramus and arrant nonsensical idiot were pouring out on nairaland.
Now their so called islamic scholar fighting for the legalization of under age marriage has just divorsed the innocent girl that should be building her future.

Very funny, yerima went for another aged 15, very sure to be divorse in another 3years.
This is inhuman action of man to the right to existence of woman.
May God punish yerima and his belief.
