tintingz: In history of the Jewish people where Christianity originated from child marriage is a practise, Mary was a child bride to Joseph.

In early Christian doctrine the age of girls marriage is 14yrs old.

In Europe, for example, Catholic canon law sets 14 as the minimum age for the marriage of girls, [52] as does Spain with a legal guardian's permission. [53] In North America, girls can be legally married at age 15 in Mexico. Canada and many states in the USA permit child marriages, with court's permission .

Catholic law on marriage is 14 years old, isn't that child marriage?

babyosisi:

Which govt
Federal or state
Looking for someone to blame
Even with schools,how many attend?
This is 2014 not 1714
The ones in Lagos or Aba don't attend the schools available to them either
Child marriage is all over the Muslim world,has nothing to do with availability of schools
They will actually pull the kids out of school to marry them off
Until you are sincere with yourselves this ill will not end

babyosisi:

Need I remind you
This is 2014

tomsniel: poor Girl. I dont support child marriage but the way she handled it was too extreme.. Btw so GEJ's fresh air of education never reach those places..Diaris Goduooo

tintingz: both Federal and state government should build schools to the villages in the north.

if schools is built in does villages child marriage will reduce, not all part of the north give out their daughters are the age of 14, it is only in the village where this practice is still a norm, mostly the poor people.

and child marriage is not only a practice in Muslim countries it is also a practice in the western world.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_marriage

tintingz: Yeah Africans calling the western countries like mumus.

As if the western countries never had any records of child marriage.

The father clearly stated the problem they are facing in the north and why they keep to the tradition of child marriage which is lack of schools, education in the community.

Government should build schools in those areas in the north and we should stop calling USA like helpless goats.

UnimkeAk:

Omexonomy: it is the duty of lg chairman and governos to provide primary and secondary education in nigeria with the heavy monthly allocation been recived from gej.

babyosisi:

Sme of these people live in Enugu and Aba and Lagos
They are not attending schools there either

babyosisi:

As much as 76% of girls in many areas of northern Nigeria are married by age 14 according to some stats
Keep comparing yourself to people light years away from you
The girls are prevented from going to school
Stop telling these silly lies
Muslim senators were arguing for child marriage and here you are talking about schools
When a sitting senator married a 14 year old whose mates were in JSS where were you?

tintingz: how do you know they are prevented from going to school? are you living with them, do you know their financial condition in those areas in the north?

again those people that give their daughters at minor age are mostly poor people so they keep to the tradition of their land(child marriage)

tintingz: it will still fall back to the government, will you give the people money to start a school?

or what's the duty of government?

.most of this people in those village are ignorant, they need to be enlightened.

Oyindamola Oluwaseun Fagbenle said sharia law was one of the barriers to the implementation of Nigeria’s Child Rights Act, which was enacted in 2003 and prohibits the “betrothal and marriage of children” under the age of 18.

“I think that effective implementation of these laws and policies are very, very key,” said Fagbenle, a panelist at the United Nations Foundation’s “Lead for Girls: U.S. and African Leaders Must End Child Marriage to Empower the Next Generation" discussion in Washington on Tuesday.

“A major issue that is contributing to this inefficiency is the conflict between the Nigerian constitution and sharia law. I mean there is a big, there’s a huge conflict. The law, you know we have the Child Rights Act as well, which sets the age [of marriage] at 18, but the sharia law is saying something else,” she said.

sweetgala: I don't understand their society, however the last paragraph explains it all

"Our girls don't go to modern school because we don't have one, not even a primary school," the 44-year-old said.

"Once our girls reach the age of 14 we marry them off... What do we keep them at home for?"

OBJ messed up when he let sharia take hold in Nigeria,The girl has to be charged as a minor, murder is murder irrespective and it was obviously premeditated.

And why isn't the state government investing in the lives of its citizenry's education and quality of life.

tintingz: it will still fall back to the government, will you give the people money to start a school?

or what's the duty of government?

PassingShot:


Even many western countries legally allow girls younger than 14 to marry. All that is required is the consent of a parent or guardian. So, from that context you cannot fault this practice since the consent of the parents were involved too.

And to say that she wouldn't have killed him if she went into it willingly is too bogus and not correct. We have seen many marriages of adults even in the south that ended in tragic just like this one. Only that in those ones we don't talk about age of the victim or the murderer since that is not always a factor.

My point is that she could still have killed him even if she was 35 years who chose to marry the man for many other reasons.

PassingShot: Going by the account of the bride's father, she was not forced into marriage because she chose the man to marry and thus needs to face justice. End of story.

WTF?

Do you think if her father actually forced her into the marriage, he'll confess it to the public?!

Her parents should be jailed and flogged for the rest of their pathetic lives.
Who the fu..ck marries off a 14 year old baby to a 35 year old good for nothing loser?

chuksmarvin: Do Yhu know the impression this gives me?...It means these filthy men from up there get hard-ons when they see my 13 yr old sister and her friends...
It's animate!...
I don't know what to do with these guys,...Charles Darwin and co would give up eternity to come and study and characterise these men!!

Thank you for this comment.

I just can't get over the fact that a full blooded male man will look at babies of 13 and 14 and actually get boners?!

The stuppid fuc..ker deserved to die. If the police really need to arrest anyone, arrest the girl's parents.
They deserve life imprisonment.

iiichidodo: This should be counted as self defence as taking custody of a minor without its consent for whatever purposes is tantamount to kidnapping....Child kidnapping.

DukeNija:

There's nothing like without her consent because she consented. She murdered the Man. Period!! She's a murderer and might murder and murder in future.
